☑ This URL on our website:

The Corporate Governance Statement is accurate and up to date as at 30 June 2020 and has been approved by the board.

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

Date: 2 November 2020

Name of Director or Secretary authorising lodgement:

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.

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.

SKIN ELEMENTS LIMITED

CORPORATE GOVERNANCE STATEMENT

NOVEMBER 2020

The Board of Skin Elements Limited (The Company) is responsible for the corporate governance of Skin Elements Limited and its subsidiary companies. The Board determines all matters relating to the strategic direction and governance, policies, practices and management of the Company in the best interests of shareholders, stakeholders, clients and employees.

To the extent that they are applicable, the Company has adopted the ASX Corporate Governance Council's Principles and Recommendations 3rd edition (ASX Principles and Recommendations).

Commensurate with the spirit of the ASX Corporate Governance Principles and Recommendations, the Company has followed each ASX Corporate Governance Recommendation where the Board has considered it to be an appropriate benchmark for corporate governance practices, taking into account factors such as the size of the Company and the Board, the resources available and the activities of the Company. Where, after due consideration, the Company's corporate governance practices depart from the ASX Corporate Governance Recommendations, the Board sets out below its "if not, why not" report.

Corporate governance policies and practice of the Company are reflective of the Company's current position. As the Company's activities develop in size, nature and scope, the Board will reconsider and review the Company's corporate governance structures. A description of the Company's main corporate governance practices is set out below. Copies of the Company's corporate governance policies are available on the website at http://www.skinelementslimited.com/investors.html#cg.

Principle 1: Lay solid foundations for management and oversight

1.1 Roles and Responsibilities

The Board operates pursuant to a formal Board charter, which sets out the functions and responsibilities of the Board and management of the Company, and is available in the corporate governance section of the Company's website http://www.skinelementslimited.com/investors.html#cg.

The skills, experience and expertise relevant to the position of each Director who is in office at the date of the annual report, including their term of office, are detailed in the Directors' Report.

The Board of the Company is responsible for:

  • (a) the overall operation and stewardship of the Company and its subsidiaries;
  • (b) charting the direction, strategies and financial objectives for the Company; and
  • (c) monitoring the implementation of those policies, strategies and financial objectives,

and is committed to protecting and enhancing shareholder values and conducting the Company's business ethically and in accordance with the highest standards of corporate governance.

Each of the Directors, when representing the Company, must act in the best interests of the shareholders of the Company and in the best interests of the Company as a whole.

1.5 Diversity

Whilst Skin Elements Limited has not yet formally adopted a Diversity Policy, the Company recognises that a talented and diverse workforce is a key competitive advantage and that success is a reflection of the quality and skills of its people. Diversity assists the business in achieving its objectives and delivering for its stakeholders by enabling it to attract and retain the most qualified and experienced individuals to the workforce.

The Company's general policy when choosing employees is to recruit and manage on the basis of competence and performance regardless of age, nationality, race, gender, religious beliefs, sexuality, physical ability or cultural background. The Company has minimal operational staff but expects to expand its workforce as its business operations continue to expand.

The performance of the Board (as a whole), each standing Board Committee and Board members are reviewed at times decided upon by the Board against measurable and qualitative benchmarks as may reasonably be determined from time to time by the Board having regard to accepted, sound corporate standards.

The Nomination and Remuneration Committee charter outlines the Committee's responsibility to review the processes for evaluating the performance of the Board, its committees and individual directors and ensuring that a fair and responsible reward is provided to executives and directors having regard to their performance evaluation.

Due to the current size and scope of the Company, external reviews are not conducted.

Principle 2: Structure the Board to Add Value

2.3 Board Composition

The term in office held by each Director in office at the date of this statement is as follows:

Name Term in office
Peter Malone Appointed: 4 September 2015 – no fixed term
Filippo (Phil) Giglia Appointed: 23 November 2017 – no fixed term
Alex John Poulsen Appointed: 29 October 2020 – no fixed term
Craig Piercy Appointed: 29 November 2019, Resigned: 29 October 2020

The Board is assisted by the Nomination and Remuneration Committee and the Audit and Risk Committee.

2.4 Independent Directors

A Director is considered to be independent where he or she is a non-executive Director, is not a member of management and is free of any relationship that could, or could reasonably be perceived to, materially interfere with the independent exercise of his or her judgment. Directors are expected to bring independent views and judgement to the Board's deliberations. The Board Charter requires that the majority of the Directors of Skin Elements Limited will be non-executive (preferably independent) Directors. The Chair is an executive Director. The existence of the following relationships may affect the independent status if the Director:

  • is a substantial shareholder of the Company or an officer of, or otherwise associated directly with, a substantial shareholder of the Company (as defined in section 9 of the Corporations Act);
  • is employed, or has previously been employed, in an executive capacity by the Company, and there has not been a period of at least three years between ceasing such employment and serving on the Board;

  • has within the last three years been a principal of a material professional adviser or a material consultant to the Company, or an employee materially associated with the services provided;

  • is a material supplier or customer of the Company, or an officer of, or otherwise associated directly or indirectly with, a material supplier or customer; or
  • has a material contractual relationship with Skin Elements Limited other than as a Director.

In the context of Director independence, "materiality" is considered from both the Company and individual Director 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 to or less than 5% of the appropriate base amount, being the monetary value of the transaction or item in question. It is presumed to be material (unless there is qualitative evidence to the contrary) if it is equal to or greater than 10% of the appropriate base amount. Qualitative factors considered include whether a relationship is strategically important, the competitive landscape, the nature of the relationship and the contractual or other arrangements governing it.

In accordance with the definition of independence above, and the materiality thresholds set, the Board reviewed the positions and associations of each of the Directors in office at the date of this statement and considers the below in regards to independence:

Name Position
Peter Malone Executive Chairman
Filippo (Phil) Giglia Independent Non-Executive Director / Chairman of the Audit
and Risk Committee and Nomination and Remuneration
Committee
Alex John Poulsen Independent Non-Executive Director

The Board will assess the independence of new Directors upon appointment, and the independence of other Directors, as appropriate. To facilitate independent judgement in decision-making, each Director has the right to seek independent professional advice at the expense of the Company. However, prior approval from the Chair is required, which may not be unreasonably withheld.
