19
Docusign Envelope ID: C70EA95E-E440-4D29-9D6A-7B954DCB6CA9
3. Independence and other interests
3.1
Independence
As part of the Corporate Governance Plan, the Company will adopt an independence policy to assess the independence of directors of the Company. You will need to consider this policy and confirm to me in writing whether you regard yourself as an independent director within the framework of the policy, but we understand that you are not considered to be an independent director.
If your circumstances change in any way which may affect your status as an independent director, you must immediately disclose this to the Board.
3.2 Other interests
The Company accepts that you will have business interests other than those of the Company. You will need to complete and sign the declaration of your interests as part of your consent to act as a director.
Directors must disclose their personal interests in accordance with the Law and the Constitution. If your circumstances change, and you acquire any office or property which may conflict with your office as a director of the Company, then you must disclose its character and extent at the next meeting of the Board. This should be done in writing. You may wish to consult with the Company Secretary as soon as you become aware of any potential conflict.
You should be aware that under the Law and the Constitution, you will generally not be entitled to attend any part of a Board meeting, or to vote, on any matter on which you have a material personal interest unless the other directors unanimously decide otherwise.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, you will be entitled to have regard to the interests of SigmaCo and its related bodies corporate ( Appointing Shareholder ) and may act on the wishes of the Appointing Shareholder in performing any of your duties or exercising any power, right or discretion as a director in relation to the Company, except in any particular case where no honest and reasonable director could have formed the view that, in so doing, the director was acting in good faith in the best interests of the Company, as a whole.
4.
Time commitments
Your duties as a director of the Company will involve a commitment of a significant number of hours each month. You will be expected to devote sufficient preparation time ahead of each Board and committee meeting and to attend such ad hoc meetings as may be necessary and convenient.
Currently, this will typically comprise attendance (which includes virtual attendance where applicable) at:
-
(a) a minimum of six scheduled board meetings, held primarily in Sydney, NSW;
-
(b) the annual general meetings in Sydney, NSW; and
-
(c) Board committee meetings which may or may not occur at times other than those days set aside for Board meetings. If you are appointed as a chairman of any committee, you may expect a further call on your time to fulfil that role.
A rolling schedule of Board and committee meetings will be circulated to you periodically for your convenience.
By accepting this appointment, you confirm that you are able to allocate sufficient time to meet these expectations.
You should consult the Board before you accept any additional commitments (including other appointments to company boards) which may conflict with or impact on the time you are able to devote to your role as a non-executive director of the Company. Your appropriate commitment of time to the affairs of the Company will be one of the issues addressed in performance reviews.

These amounts or the nature of the benefit may be changed by the shareholders or the Board. You will not be entitled to a retirement allowance.
The Company will contribute to a superannuation scheme for your benefit if it is required to do so in accordance with statutory requirements.
You are entitled to be paid travelling expenses you properly incur concerning the Company’s affairs, including attending and returning from general meetings of the Company or meetings of the Board or Board committees. It is the usual practice for the Company to provide transport and accommodation for directors in respect of the Company related business. Flight booking and transport may be arranged by telephoning the Company Secretary. If you prefer to arrange your own transport this may occur upon agreement with the Company, please forward any invoice to the CEO requesting reimbursement of costs.
You are entitled to be paid other expenses you properly incur concerning the Company’s affairs with exception to expenses associated with travelling to board meetings, you should obtain the approval of the Board for the expense before you incur it.

Copies of this advice must be made available to, and be for the benefit of, all Board members, unless the Board otherwise agrees.
8. Notification of personal interests
The Company is required, under the Listing Rules, to provide information in relation to a director’s interests and transactions in the Company's securities to ASX. ASX has published a pro-forma agreement for directors of listed companies to sign.

There are prescribed forms for notification to ASX or your relevant interest in the Company's securities. These are:
