Our corporate governance statement[1] for the period above can be found at:[2]

These pages of our ☐ annual report: This URL on our https://investors.nuix.com/investor-centre/?page=corporate☒ website: governance

The Corporate Governance Statement is accurate and up to date as at 17 October 2022 and has been approved by the board.

The annexure includes a key to where our corporate governance disclosures can be located.[3]

Date: 17 October 2022 Name of authorised officer Ilona Meyer authorising lodgement: General Counsel and Company Secretary

1 “Corporate governance statement” is defined in Listing Rule 19.12 to mean the statement referred to in Listing Rule 4.10.3 which discloses the extent to which an entity has followed the recommendations set by the ASX Corporate Governance Council during a particular reporting period.

Listing Rule 4.10.3 requires an entity that is included in the official list as an ASX Listing to include in its annual report either a corporate governance statement that meets the requirements of that rule or the URL of the page on its website where such a statement is located. The corporate governance statement must disclose the extent to which the entity has followed the recommendations set by the ASX Corporate Governance Council during the reporting period. If the entity has not followed a recommendation for any part of the reporting period, its corporate governance statement must separately identify that recommendation and the period during which it was not followed and state its reasons for not following the recommendation and what (if any) alternative governance practices it adopted in lieu of the recommendation during that period.

Under Listing Rule 4.7.4, if an entity chooses to include its corporate governance statement on its website rather than in its annual report, it must lodge a copy of the corporate governance statement with ASX at the same time as it lodges its annual report with ASX. The corporate governance statement must be current as at the effective date specified in that statement for the purposes of Listing Rule 4.10.3.

Under Listing Rule 4.7.3, an entity must also lodge with ASX a completed Appendix 4G at the same time as it lodges its annual report with ASX. The Appendix 4G serves a dual purpose. It acts as a key designed to assist readers to locate the governance disclosures made by a listed entity under Listing Rule 4.10.3 and under the ASX Corporate Governance Council’s recommendations. It also acts as a verification tool for listed entities to confirm that they have met the disclosure requirements of Listing Rule 4.10.3.

The Appendix 4G is not a substitute for, and is not to be confused with, the entity's corporate governance statement. They serve different purposes and an entity must produce each of them separately.

2 Tick whichever option is correct and then complete the page number(s) of the annual report, or the URL of the web page, where your corporate governance statement can be found. You can, if you wish, delete the option which is not applicable.

3 Throughout this form, where you are given two or more options to select, you can, if you wish, delete any option which is not applicable and just retain the option that is applicable. If you select an option that includes “OR” at the end of the selection and you delete the other options, you can also, if you wish, delete the “OR” at the end of the selection. See notes 4 and 5 below for further instructions on how to complete this form.

4.3 Director Independence

The Board requires a majority of its directors to be independent and has adopted guidelines which are set out in the Board Charter to assist in assessing the independence of directors.

  • determine matters (where the committee acts with delegated authority) which it then reports to the Board.

A summary of the roles and responsibilities of each committee are set out below and full details are contained in the respective committee charters available on the Company’s website.

Details of meeting attendance for members of each committee are set out in the Directors’ report on page 40 of the Company’s 2022 Annual Report.

Audit and Risk Management Committee

5. Board Succession Planning

5.1 Appointment and Election of New Directors

The ultimate responsibility for Board composition and succession issues rests with the directors, assisted by the Remuneration and Nomination Committee.

In appointing non-executive directors, the Board seeks to ensure that candidates have the appropriate skills, expertise and experience to complement the existing members of the Board. The Remuneration and Nomination Committee assists the Board in identifying candidates for appointment as directors and makes recommendations about Board size and composition.

Detailed background information about a potential candidate is provided to all directors. External search organisations may be engaged (as appropriate) to assist the Board identify potential director candidates.

Appropriate checks are undertaken before appointing a person, or putting forward to shareholders a candidate for election, as a director. An offer of a Board appointment must be made by the Chair, only after having consulted all directors, with any recommendations from the Remuneration and Nomination Committee having been circulated to all directors.

All new Board appointments are confirmed by a letter of appointment in the standard format approved by the Board or the Remuneration and Nomination Committee from time to time. When a candidate is put before shareholders at a general meeting for appointment or election, or an incumbent director stands for re-election, all material information in the Company’s possession that is relevant to the shareholders’ decision will be provided.

In respect of the current directors, no material adverse information was revealed by checks performed in respect of each director, nor was any matter identified that might influence a director’s ability to act in the best interests of the Company and its shareholders. In accordance with the Company’s Constitution, no director, except the CEO, shall hold office without re-election beyond the third annual general meeting at which the director was last elected or re-elected.

5.2 Agreements with Directors and Senior Executives

Non-executive directors are engaged through a letter of appointment, which sets out the director’s roles and responsibilities and the Company’s expectations, including in respect of the requirement to comply with Company policies and the Company’s Code of Conduct. The letter also addresses non-executive directors’ indemnity and insurance arrangements, ongoing rights to access Company information and confidentiality obligations that apply on an ongoing basis.

The Company enters into service contracts with all executives, which sets out their individual roles and responsibilities, as well as their key performance indicators and corporate obligations in respect of adherence to Company policy and the Company’s Code of Conduct.

5.3 Induction and Professional Development of Directors

The Company has a program for induction of new directors and continues to enhance its continuous development program for directors to ensure directors are equipped with opportunities to develop and maintain the skills and knowledge necessary to perform their role effectively.

Directors are expected to participate in all induction and orientation programs and any continuing education or training arranged for them.

5.4 Board Skills Matrix

It has been determined through a process of review that the directors possess an appropriate mix of skills, experience and expertise to enable the Board to discharge its responsibilities.

The Board skills matrix set out below identifies the combined skills, expertise and experience currently represented on the Board. To the extent they are not represented on the Board, they are augmented through management and external advisors. For example, whilst the Board has a good understanding of the laws applicable to the operations of the business, given the technicalities and interpretations of the laws, the Board defers to its external legal advisors as and when required.

The Board, with the assistance of the Remuneration and Nomination Committee, reviews, on a periodic basis, the range of skills, experience and expertise which the Board currently has and is looking to achieve in the future.

5.5 Board, Committee and Director performance

Directors provide feedback in relation to the Performance of the Board and its Committees on an annual basis.

Each Committee of the Board is required to review, and provide feedback on, its own performance. Feedback is collected by the Board, or an external facilitator, with consideration being given as to whether any steps should be taken to improve performance of the Board or its Committees.

The Remuneration and Nomination Committee is tasked with assisting the Board, as required, in relation to the performance evaluation of the Board, its Committees and individual directors, and in developing and implementing plans for identifying, assessing and enhancing director competencies.

Executives’ key performance indicators are set annually.

The Company values and is proud of its strong and diverse workforce and is committed to supporting and further developing this diversity through attracting, recruiting, engaging and retaining diverse talent and aligning the Company’s culture and management systems with this commitment. The Company believes that such a commitment to diversity creates competitive advantage and enhances employee participation, and in this way is essential to the organisation continuing to succeed and grow stronger.

The Company has a Diversity Policy which sets out Nuix’s commitment to diversity and inclusion in the workplace. Nuix’s workforce is made up of many individuals with diverse skills, values, experiences, backgrounds and attributes including those gained on account of their gender, gender identity, age, disability, ethnicity, marital or family status, religious beliefs, cultural or socio-economic background, sexual orientation, perspective and experience.

As at 30 June, females represented 27% of Nuix’s workforce. Nuix is committed to improving diversity, and works with talent acquisition partners to reach a broad range of talented people who can contribute to our success.

They are recommended by the Chief Executive Officer to the Board.

The Chief Executive Officer conducts periodic oneon-one performance evaluations with individual Executives to assess whether they have met their key performance indicators set in the preceding year. The Board sets key performance indicators for the Chief Executive Officer and formally evaluates the achievement of those objectives on an annual basis. The Company has induction procedures in place to ensure that the executive is able to participate fully and actively in management decision-making at the earliest opportunity.

7. Ethical and Responsible Behaviour

7.1 Code of Conduct

Nuix is committed to behaving with integrity, developing best-in-class software, and providing superior service which will be achieved through our people.

The Company is committed to instilling and continually reinforcing a culture across the organisation of acting lawfully, ethically and responsibly. These standards are reflected in its statement of values which it will articulate and disclose publicly. It includes being, and being seen to be, a ‘good corporate citizen’.

As a company, we will:

  • Respect every employee’s dignity, rights, freedoms, and individual needs;

  • Provide a working environment that is safe, challenging and rewarding;

  • Recognise the work of each of our employees;

  • Respect customers’, suppliers’ and employees’ personal and sensitive information;

  • Reinforce the Company’s commitment to the highest standards in business and professional ethics; and

  • Obey the law.

The Board has approved a Code of Conduct to guide compliance with legal and other obligations to the Company’s stakeholders and which sets ethical standards for the Group’s personnel and reflects the Directors’ intention to ensure that the duties and responsibilities of all staff of the Company are performed with the utmost integrity.

The Code of Conduct deals with the following principal areas:

  • the Company’s business ethics: including financial and other inducements; bribery and mutual respect;

  • business and personal conduct: including compliance with the law; conflicts of interest; confidential information; inside information; trading in securities; privacy and intellectual property; corporate opportunities; financial

integrity; protection and proper use of company assets; customer service; and personal conduct; and

  • reporting of suspected fraudulent or unethical behaviour.

All suspected breaches of the Code will be investigated by the Company. If these investigations reveal breaches of the Code, appropriate and proportionate disciplinary and remedial action will be taken, depending on the nature of the breach.

7.2 Anti-Corruption and Anti-Bribery Policy

It is Nuix’s policy to conduct all business in an honest and ethical manner. Nuix takes a zerotolerance approach to bribery and corruption and is committed to acting professionally, fairly and with integrity in all its business dealings and relationships wherever the Company operates, and implementing and enforcing effective systems to counter bribery and corruption.

The Anti-Corruption and Anti-Bribery Policy sets out reporting requirements under the policy.

10 Nuix Corporate Governance Statement 2022

7.3 Conflicts of Interest Policy

Personnel are required to fully disclose any business interest (public or private) and any other matters which may lead to potential or actual conflicts of interest, including any potential related party transactions in accordance with such policies adopted by the Company from time to time.

In circumstances where other potential roles (whether serving as directors or trustees of another organisation), arrangements, or activities potentially conflict with the Company or its subsidiaries’ interests, the member of personnel will advise and seek approval from their manager in accordance with the Company’s Code of Conduct and, in respect of directors, the Company’s Constitution.

Personnel will not use their role within the Company for political interests at any time, or for community interests unless authorised by the Company. The Company regularly monitors and tests the Company’s policies under the Code to ensure that commitments remain relevant, effective and consistent with stakeholders’ expectations.

7.4 Securities Dealing Policy

The Nuix Group has a Securities Trading Policy for Directors and employees of the Group.

The policy sets out blackout periods during which staff may not trade. The policy also requires that Directors and employees of the Company in possession of price sensitive information must not at any time deal in securities of the Company, or advise or suggest another person do so, or communicate the price sensitive information to a person who may deal in securities of the Company.

The Securities Trading Policy addresses:

  • conduct prohibited by law including when a person possesses inside information; penalties under the law; examples of inside information;

  • general restrictions on trading; and

  • additional restrictions on Directors and Restricted Employees (as defined in the Securities Trading Policy) including prior written approval for trading, and margin loans, hedging and derivatives.

The policy sets a trading window of 4 weeks following the release of annual or half-yearly results, and a 4 week period after the Annual General Meeting, in which Directors and Restricted Employees may trade in Nuix securities.

The policy prohibits Directors and Restricted Employees from engaging in short-term dealing in securities of the Company. No Director or Restricted Employee may enter into a margin loan or similar funding arrangement to acquire any Company Securities, (which includes transferring Securities into an existing margin loan account, or selling Securities to satisfy a call pursuant to a margin loan) or grant lenders any rights over their Company Securities without first obtaining prior written approval.

Directors and Restricted Employees must not use, or allow to be used, any Derivatives or other products which operate to limit the economic risk of holding unvested Company Securities or Company Securities subject to a holding lock.

7.5 Modern Slavery

The Company acknowledges the risk, albeit low considering its industry, business model, procurement profile and geographical footprint, that modern slavery practices may exist within the value chains in which it does business, and that it has a moral responsibility to take actions which contribute to mitigating such risks and remediating harm.

The Company is firmly committed to ensuring that its business operations do not cause or contribute to any form of modern slavery and that we work with other businesses who share our commitment to addressing modern slavery risk.

The Company’s Modern Slavery Policy addresses:

  • compliance with all applicable national, local and other applicable regulations and laws

  • modern slavery risks within the supply chain and business operations; and

  • sets the minimum standards for employees with respect to the identification of any modern slavery risks.

The Policy applies to all Nuix employees (including fixed term or casual), contractors, consultants, partners, suppliers, directors and officers and any third-party representatives working for or on behalf of or providing services to the Company in any capacity.

Nuix Corporate Governance Statement 2022 11

Corporate Governance Statement continued

7.6 Whistle-blower Policy

Nuix is committed to conducting its business with integrity and in accordance with Nuix’s corporate values.

Nuix has adopted a Whistle-blower Policy, which encourages current and former directors, employees, consultants, contractors and suppliers (as well as their relatives, dependants or spouses) to raise any concerns regarding actual or suspected illegal or unethical conduct or practices, or violations of Nuix’s policies on a confidential and, if desired, anonymous basis.

The Whistle-blower Policy outlines how Nuix will protect such persons for raising concerns and how reported concerns are received and, where appropriate, investigated by Nuix.

8. Integrity in Corporate Reporting

8.1 Audit and Risk Management Committee

The Audit and Risk Management Committee assists the Board in fulfilling its responsibilities in respect of financial reporting, risk management, compliance and internal controls. It reviews the financial reporting process, the system of internal control and management of financial risks, and the process and coverage of internal and external audit, together with business risks including strategic operation and regulatory risk and compliance with applicable laws, regulation and Company policies.

The Company does not currently have an internal audit function in place. The detailed responsibilities of the Audit and Risk Management Committee are set out in the Committee Charter and the Board considers these processes appropriate for the size and level of operations of the Company.

The membership and composition of the Audit and Risk Management Committee are set out on page 6 of this Corporate Governance Statement. The members of the Committee collectively have the accounting and financial expertise and a sufficient understanding of the industry in which the Company operates to effectively discharge the Committee’s mandate.

The Audit and Risk Management Committee maintains unrestricted access to management, employees and all relevant Company information and regularly meets with the Company’s external auditors. The CEO, Chief Operating Officer & Chief

Financial Officer, Company Secretary, the external auditor, and other members of the executive leadership team attend meetings of the Committee by invitation.

8.2 Chief Operating Officer & Chief Financial Officer Declaration

Before the Board approves the Company’s halfyear and full-year financial reports, the CEO and COO/CFO provide the Board with declarations that, in their opinion, the financial records of the Group have been properly maintained and that the financial statements comply with the appropriate accounting standards and give a true and fair view of the financial position and performance of the Group, and that the opinion has been formed on the basis of a sound system of risk management and internal control which is operating effectively.

The Board received a declaration of this kind in respect of the half-year ended 31 December 2021 and of the financial year ended 30 June 2022 from the Chief Executive Officer and the Chief Operating Officer & Chief Financial Officer prior to approving those financial reports.

8.3 Role of the External Auditor

The Company has appointed KPMG as its external auditor. The effectiveness, performance and independence of the external auditor is reviewed annually by the Audit and Risk Management Committee.

Kenneth Reid, lead auditor, has provided the required independence declaration to the Board for the financial year ended 30 June 2022. The independence declaration forms part of the directors’ report and is provided on page 42 of the Company’s 2022 Annual Report.

The Board has considered the nature of the nonaudit and assurance-related services provided by the external auditor during the year and has determined that the services provided and the amount paid for those services are compatible with the general standard of independence for auditors imposed by the Corporations Act 2001. Details of fees paid (or payable) to KPMG for non-audit and assurance-related services provided to the Company during the reporting period are set out in the directors’ report on page 41 of the Company’s 2022 Annual Report.

12 Nuix Corporate Governance Statement 2022

KPMG will attend the Company’s annual general meeting and be available to answer shareholder questions about the conduct of the audit and the preparation and content of the auditor’s report. The external auditor will also be allowed a reasonable opportunity to answer written questions submitted by shareholders.

9. Disclosure and Investor Engagement

9.1 Continuous Disclosure Policy

The Company’s Continuous Disclosure Policy establishes procedures to ensure, on the one hand, protection of confidential information and, on the other hand, the timely and balanced disclosure of all material matters concerning the Company.

The basic principle underlying the continuous disclosure framework is that timely disclosure must be made of information which may affect security values or influence investment decisions, and information in which shareholders, investors and ASX have a legitimate interest.

The Board has appointed the General Counsel & Company Secretary to act as the Disclosure Officer to monitor the Company’s compliance with disclosure obligations and as the person with the primary responsibility for all communication with the ASX in relation to Listing Rule matters.

Information will be communicated to shareholders through the lodgement of all relevant financial information and other information with ASX and continuous disclosure announcements will also be made available on the Company’s website.

9.2 Investor Engagement

The Company is committed to effective communication with its clients, customers, Shareholders, market participants, employees, suppliers, financiers, creditors, other stakeholders and the wider community. The Company strives to ensure that all stakeholders, market participants and the wider community are informed of its activities and performance.

The Company’s Communication Policy is designed to ensure that the Company:

  • provides timely and accurate information equally to all Shareholders and market participants regarding the Company including its financial situation, performance, ownership, strategies, activities and governance; and

  • adopts channels for disseminating information that are fair, timely and cost efficient.

In addition to those policies and processes contained in the Continuous Disclosure Policy, the Company has implemented a number of processes to ensure achievement of these goals.

The Company has an investor relations program that facilitates effective two-way communication with investors. The Company’s investor relations program focuses on professional investors (and financial market participants who service them), and engages with retail investors (and the organisations that represent them), to understand the matters of concern or interest to those investors. In addition to its continuous disclosure obligations, the Company will make other periodic disclosures as required by law, and also in relation to those matters as contemplated by the ASX Corporate Governance Council’s Corporate Governance Principles and Recommendations.

The Board aims to ensure that all Shareholders are kept informed of all material developments affecting Nuix’s business.

  • oversee tax compliance and tax risk management;

  • ensure that at least annually an audit has been undertaken to test the adequacy of and compliance with prescribed policies; and
