has been approved by the Board and is available on the Company’s website under - Corporate Governance at https://www.pilotenergy.com.au/corporate governance.

Consistent with the Company’s commitment to transparency in its dealings with stakeholders, this Statement has been prepared by reference to each recommendation contained in the Governance Principles.

PRINCIPLE 1. – LAY SOLID FOUNDATIONS FOR MANAGEMENT AND OVERSIGHT

Recommendation 1.1

A listed entity should disclose:

(a) the respective roles and responsibilities of its board and management; and

(b) those matters expressly reserved to the board and those delegated to management.

Complies

The Company has a Board Charter which is available on the Company’s website at [ insert link ], which formally sets out the functions and responsibilities of the Board and those tasks delegated to management.

Recommendation 1.2

A listed entity should:

(a) undertake appropriate checks before appointing a person, or putting forward to security holders a candidate for election, as a director; and

(b) provide security holders with all material information in its possession relevant to a decision on whether or not to elect or re-elect a director.

Complies

The Company has committed to undertake appropriate checks before appointing a person or putting forward to shareholders a candidate for election, as a Director.

All material information relevant to a decision whether or not to elect or re-elect a Director of the Company will be made available to shareholders.

Recommendation 1.3

A listed entity should have a written agreement with each director and senior executive setting out the terms of their employment.

Complies

Recommendation 1.4

The Company Secretary of a listed entity should be accountable directly to the board, through the chair, on all matters to do with the proper functioning of the board.

Complies

The Company Secretary has a direct reporting line to the Chairman and all Directors have direct access to the Company Secretary, who is appointed by, and accountable to, the Board on all governance matters and the proper functioning of the Board.

Recommendation 1.5

A listed entity should:

• (a) have a diversity policy which includes requirements for the board or a relevant committee of the board to set measurable objectives for achieving gender diversity and to assess annually both the objectives and the entity’s progress in achieving them;

• (b) disclose that policy or a summary of it; and

• (c) disclose as at the end of each reporting period the measurable objectives for achieving gender diversity set by the board or a relevant committee of the board in accordance with the entity’s diversity policy and its progress towards achieving them, and either:

• (1) the respective proportions of men and women on the board, in senior executive positions and across the whole organization (including how the entity has defined “senior executive” for these purposes); or

• (2) if the entity is a “relevant employer” under the Workplace Gender Equality Act, the entity’s most recent “Gender Equality Indicators” as defined in and published under that Act.

Partially Complies

The Company has established a Diversity Policy (which is available on the Company website), which states that diversity not only refers to gender but extends to age, ethnicity, religious or cultural background, language, marital or family status and disability.

The Diversity Policy does set out a requirement to set measurable objectives and to assess annually both the objectives and the entity’s progress in achieving them. During the reporting period the Company has not formally set measurable objectives for achieving gender diversity in accordance with the Diversity Policy, primarily due to the age and stage of maturity of the Company.

The Company is not a relevant employer under the Workplace Gender Equality Act.

The Company defines “senior executive” as a person that has overall responsibility for one or more business functions.

As at 30 June 2020, the proportion of women and men across the levels of Board, senior management and total employees were as follows:

• The proportion of female directors: 0%

• The proportion of female employees who are senior managers / executives: 50%

• The proportion of female employees in the whole organisation: 37.5%

Given the current size and stage of development of the Company, the Board has not considered it necessary to formally set measurable objectives for achieving gender diversity. However, the Company is committed to an inclusive workplace that embraces and promotes diversity as part of its corporate culture.

The Company does not believe this departure from recommendation 1.5 to be detrimental to shareholders.

Recommendation 1.6

A listed entity should:

• (a) have and disclose a process for periodically evaluating the performance of the board, its committees and individual directors; and

The Corporate Governance Statement is accurate and up to date as at 16 December 2021 and has been approved by the board.

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.
