Angelo Gaudio Company Secretary

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 rule 4.10.3.

2 "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.

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

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.

1 Under Listing Rule 4.7.3, an entity must lodge with ASX a completed Appendix 4G at the same time as it lodges its annual report with ASX.

Principle 1: Commentary

The Board has adopted a formal Board Charter that outlines the roles and responsibilities of directors and senior executives. The Corporate Governance Charter is publicly available on the Company website, www.renascor.com.au/company.

Principle 1: Commentary (continued)

The skills, experience and expertise relevant to the position of director held by each director in office at the date of the Annual Report is included in the Director's Report on pages 26 - 27. The Board's primary responsibility is to oversee the Company's business activities and management for the benefit of all shareholders as follows:

  • setting and monitoring organisational performance and the achievement of the Company's strategic goals and objectives;
  • reviewing and approving corporate strategies, the annual budget and financial plans;
  • establishing corporate governance and ethical business standards;
  • monitoring financial performance and liaising with the Company's external auditor;
  • appointing and assessing the performance of the Managing Director (or equivalent), and overseeing succession plans for senior executives;
  • reviewing and monitoring the systems of risk management and internal control, codes of conduct and legal compliance;
  • ensuring the composition of the Board is appropriate, selecting directors for appointment to the Board and reviewing the performance of the Board and the contributions of individual directors; and
  • reporting to and communicating with shareholders.

The Company seeks to have a board comprising directors with an appropriate variety of skill, experience and expertise who are competent in dealing with current and emerging issues of the business and who can effectively review and challenge the performance of management and exercise independent judgement. Prior to the appointment of a person, or putting forward to security holders a candidate for election, as a director, the Company undertakes checks which it believes are appropriate to verify a director's character, experience, education, criminal record and bankruptcy history.

Non-executive directors have a written agreement with the Company setting out the terms of their appointment as directors. Executive directors have employment contracts and senior executives are employed under written contractual arrangements.

The Board meets on a regular basis. The agenda for these meetings is prepared by the Company Secretary in conjunction with the Managing Director. Relevant information is circulated to directors in advance of Board meetings. The Company Secretary is accountable directly to the Board on matters to do with the proper functioning of the Board.

The Board has an established diversity policy which is publicly available on the Company website, www.renascor.com.au/company. Given the size of the Company, the nature of the employment structure and the limited number of Board and senior executive positions available, the Company does not believe that it is practical or efficient to establish measurable objectives at this time and as and when circumstances warrant, the Board will take into consideration, diversity, as one of the criteria in formulating decisions. Whilst the Company believes that the current non-compliance with this recommendation will not be detrimental to the Company, it also recognises that a talented, skilful and diverse workforce will be an important factor to the Company's future success as the Company strives to reach the requisite corporate and commercial maturity.

There is no formal evaluation of the performance of the Board. Members of the Board have been brought together to provide a blend of qualifications, skills and national and international experience required for managing a company operating within the mining industry. Due to the size and structure of the Company, the Board of directors has managed Board performance at Board meetings held during the year. The Board will consider the establishment of a formal evaluation process of performance for all directors during the current reporting period.

The performance of senior executives is evaluated by the disinterested non-executive directors periodically and performance review has been undertaken.

Principle 2: Structure the board to add value

Recommendation detail ComplyYes/No
2.1 The board of a listed entity should:a)have a nomination committee which:1. has at least three members, a majority of whom are independent directors; and2. is chaired by an independent director, and disclose:3. the charter of the committee;4. the members of the committee; and5. as at the end of each reporting period, the number of times the committee metthroughout the period and the individual attendances of the members at thosemeetings; ORb)those matters expressly reserved to the board and those delegated to management. No
2.2 A listed entity should have and disclose a board skills matrix setting out the mix of skills anddiversity that the board currently has or is looking to achieve in its membership. No
2.3 A listed entity should disclose:a)the names of the directors considered by the board to be independent directors;b)if a director has an interest, position, association or relationship of the type described inBox 2.3 but the board is of the opinion that it does not compromise the independence ofthe director, the nature of the interest, position, association or relationship in question andan explanation of why the board is of that opinion; andc)the length of service of each director Yes
2.4 A majority of the board of a listed entity should be independent directors. No
2.5 The chair of the board of a listed entity should be an independent director and, in particular,should not be the same person as the CEO of the entity. No
2.6 A listed entity should have a program for inducting new directors and provide appropriateprofessional development opportunities for directors to develop and maintain the skills andknowledge needed to perform their role as directors effectively. Yes

Principle 2: Commentary

The Board's view is that the Company is not currently of the size to justify the formation of a separate nomination committee. The Board currently performs the functions of a nomination committee and where necessary may seek advice of external advisors in relation to this role. The Board shall, upon the Company reaching the requisite corporate and commercial maturity, consider the constitution of a nomination committee to assist the Board in relation to the appointment of directors and senior management.

Members of the Board have been brought together to provide a blend of qualifications, skills and national and international experience required for managing a company operating within the mining industry and periodically reviews balance of skills, knowledge, experience, independence and diversity to enable it to discharge its duties and responsibilities effectively. The skills, experience and expertise relevant to the position of director held by each director in office is included Director's Report component of the 2016 Annual Report on pages 26 - 27. In view of the above the Company does not currently have a skills and diversity matrix in relation to the Board members. Whilst the Company believes that the current non-compliance with this recommendation is not detrimental to the Company, the Board will consider the establishment of a skills matrix during the current reporting period.

The Corporate Governance Council defines an independent director as a director who is not a member of management and who is free of any interest, position, association or relationship that might influence, or reasonably be perceived to influence, in a material respect his or her capacity to bring an independent judgement to bear on issues before the Board and to act in the best interests of the entity and its security holders generally.

In the context of director independence "materiality" is considered from both the Company and the individual director's perspective. The determination of materiality requires consideration of both quantitative and qualitative elements. An item is presumed to be quantitatively immaterial if it is equal or less than 5% of the appropriate base amount. It is presumed to be material (unless there is qualitative evidence to the contrary) if it is equal to or greater than 5% of the appropriate base amount. Qualitative factors considered included whether a relationship is strategically important, the competitive landscape, the nature of the relationship and the contractual or other arrangements governing it and other factors which point to the actual ability of the director in question to shape the direction of the Company's loyalty.

Factors that may impact on a director's independence are considered each time the Board meets.

Principle 2: Commentary (continued)

In accordance with the Council's definition of independence outlined above, and the materiality thresholds set, no directors are considered to be independent as outlined below:

The two executive directors have employment contracts.

3.1A listed entity should: Recommendation detail ComplyYes/No
a)have a code of conduct for its directors, senior executives and employees; and
b)disclose that code or a summary of it. Yes

Principle 3: Commentary

As part of the Board's commitment to maintaining a proper system of corporate governance, the Company has adopted a Code of Conduct to guide directors, officers and employees in carrying out their duties and responsibilities. The Code of Conduct outlines the obligations incumbent upon each director, officer and employee, including compliance with all corporate governance practices and documents approved by the Board from time to time. The Code of Conduct also encourages the reporting of any unlawful or unethical behaviour. The Code of Conduct is included as part of the Corporate Governance Charter (Section A5) on the Company's website, www.renascor.com.au/company.

The Code's objective is to provide a benchmark for professional and personal behavior throughout the Company, to safeguard the Company and the dealings carried out on behalf of the Company. The Code deals with many ethical issues, including the importance of:

  • a safe and harassment-free workplace;
  • good corporate citizenship and compliance with laws;
  • professional integrity (including avoiding conflicts of interest); and
  • protection of the Group's reputation, assets, resources, information and records.

Yes
4.3A listed entity that has an AGM should ensure that its external auditor attends its AGM and isavailable to answer questions from security holders relevant to the audit. Yes

Principle 4: Commentary

The Company has an Audit and Risk Committee comprising two non-executive directors, Mr Martin (Chair) and Mr Bizzell together with one executive director, Mr McConachy. The Audit and Risk Committee Charter is available on the Company's website, www.renascor.com.au/company which is included as part of the Corporate Governance Charter (Section C) and sets out the role of the Committee and includes assisting the Board in overseeing the corporate reporting process efficiently and effectively. The number of meetings held and the individual attendances of Committee members at those meetings are disclosed in the Director's Report component of the 2016 Annual Report on page 28.

The Audit and Risk Committee currently consists of three members, however, the Company is of the view that that the Audit and Risk Management Committee does not consist of a majority of independent directors in accordance with the Council's definition of independence outlined and the materiality thresholds set, and accordingly does not meet the requirements of Recommendation 4.1. While the Company does not presently comply with this Recommendation 4.1, the Company may consider appointing further independent directors in the future.

Yes
7.4 A listed entity should disclose whether it has any material exposure to economic,environmental and social sustainability risks and, if it does, how it manages or intends tomanage those risks. Yes

Principle 7: Commentary

The Board has established an Audit and Risk Management Committee, comprising two non-executive directors, Mr Martin (Chair) and Mr Bizzell together with one executive director, Mr McConachy. The Audit and Risk Committee Charter is available on the Company's website, www.renascor.com.au/company which is included as part of the Corporate Governance Charter (Section C) and sets out the role of the Committee assisting the Board in overseeing the entity's risk management framework. The number of meetings held and the individual attendances of Committee members at those meetings are disclosed in the Directors' Report on page 28 of the 2016 Annual Report, together with the qualifications of the members of the Audit and Risk Management Committee.

The Audit and Risk Management Committee currently consists of three members, however, the Company is of the view that that the Audit and Risk Management Committee does not consist of a majority of independent directors in accordance with the Council's definition of independence outlined and the materiality thresholds set, and accordingly does not meet the requirements of Recommendation 7.1. While the Company does not presently comply with this Recommendation 7.1, the Company may consider appointing further independent directors in the future. The Company believes that given the size and scale of its operations, non-compliance by the Company with this Recommendation 7.1 will not be detrimental to the Company. The Board is satisfied that its present Committee structure is appropriate for the current status of the Company's size and structure.

The Board is ultimately responsible for Company's risk management and keys risks are regularly reviewed and re-assessed by management and tabled at Board meetings. Whilst a formal review of the Company's risk management framework has not been carried out during the reporting period, the Board believes that given the size and scale of the Company's operations, non-compliance with this Recommendation 7.2 will not be detrimental to the Company.

Principle 7: Commentary (continued)

It is the Board's responsibility to ensure that an effective internal control framework exists within the Company. This includes internal controls to deal with both the effectiveness and efficiency of significant business processes, the safeguarding of assets, the maintenance of proper accounting records, and the reliability of financial information as well as non-financial considerations such as the benchmarking of operational key performance indicators. The Board has established an authorisation decision matrix and delegated the responsibility for the establishment and maintenance of a framework of internal control and ethical standards for the management of the Company to the Audit and Risk Management Committee.

The Board does not believe the Company has any material exposure to economic, environmental and social sustainability risks at the present time.

Principle 8: Remunerate fairly and responsibly

Recommendation detail Yes/No
8.1a)b) The board of a listed entity should:have a remuneration committee which:1. has at least three members, a majority of whom are independent directors; and2. is chaired by an independent director, and disclose:3. the charter of the committee;4. the members of the committee; and5. as at the end of each reporting period, the number of times the committee metthroughout the period and the individual attendances of the members at thosemeetings; ORif it does not have a remuneration committee, disclose that fact and the processes itemploys for setting the level and composition of remuneration for directors and seniorexecutives and ensuring that such remuneration is appropriate and not excessive.

Principle 8: Commentary

The Board has not established a remuneration committee. The Board considers that given its size, no efficiencies or other benefits would be gained by the establishment of such committee. The role of the remuneration committee is carried out by the full Board. The Company has adopted a Remuneration Committee Charter, which is set out in the Company's Corporate Governance Charter (Section D) and is available on the Company website, www.renascor.com.au/company.

The Board is responsible for determining and reviewing remuneration policies for the directors and executives. If necessary, it obtains independent advice on the appropriateness of remuneration packages given trends in comparable companies and in accordance with the objectives of the Company. The policies and practices regarding the remuneration of non-executive directors and the remuneration of executive directors and other senior executives are set out in the Remuneration Report contained in the Director's Report on pages 30 – 38 of the 2016 Annual Report. The 2016 Annual report is available on the Company website, www.renascor.com.au/news.

The Company does not presently have a policy on whether participants are permitted to enter into transactions which limit the economic risk of participating in its equity-based remuneration scheme.
