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://www.templeandwebstergroup.com.au/Home/?page=corpor ☒ website: ate-governance

The Corporate Governance Statement is accurate and up to date as at 30 August 2021 and has been approved by the board.

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

Date: 30 August 2021 Name of authorised officer Michael Egan authorising lodgement:

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.

The Chief Executive Officer is responsible for the ongoing management of the Company in accordance with the strategy, policies and programs approved by the Board. The Board formally approves an annual budget and delegates the power to the CEO to implement the budget.

Committees of the Board

The Board has established the following Committees to assist it in discharging its functions:

o Audit and Risk Management Committee; and

o Nomination and Remuneration Committee.

Further details regarding these Committees are set out on pages 3 and 6.

1

Appointment of Directors and succession planning

The Nomination and Remuneration Committee assists the Board by identifying candidates for appointment as Directors, making recommendations regarding Board size and composition and assisting with the Board’s succession planning.

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.

Detailed background information in relation to 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 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 Nomination and Remuneration 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 Chief Executive Officer, shall hold office without re-election beyond the third annual general meeting at which the Director was last elected or re-elected. Directors available for re-election at a general meeting are reviewed by the Nomination and Remuneration Committee after consultation with the Board.

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.

Board, Committee and Director performance

On an annual basis, Directors provide feedback in relation to the performance of the Board and its Committees.

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 Nomination and Remuneration 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.

Performance evaluations of individual Directors, Board, and its Committees was undertaken during the year. An external facilitator was used to conduct these performance reviews.

Directors felt it was an efficient, collegiate and effective board.

Executives’ key performance indicators are set annually. They are recommended by the Chief Executive Officer to the Board. The Chief Executive Officer conducts twice yearly one-on-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.

• Susan Thomas, Independent Non-executive Director

• Conrad Yiu, Non-executive Director.

Board skills matrix

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

A review of the Experience and Skills required of the Board is undertaken annually.

Composition of the Board and independence of Directors

The Company currently comprises five Directors. The board is comprised of a majority of independent nonexecutive directors including an independent non-executive Chair.

The Company appointed an additional Independent Non-executive Director, Ms Belinda Rowe, on 26 February 2021. The Board considers its current composition to be appropriate to discharge its duties effectively.

The Board has adopted guidelines in the Board Charter to assist in assessing the independence of Directors. These guidelines are consistent with the factors relevant to assessing the independence of a director set out in the ASX Principles and Recommendations.

Three Directors are considered by the Board to be Independent Non-executive Directors and two Directors are not considered to be independent. Stephen Heath (Chairman of the Board), Sue Thomas and Belinda Rowe are considered to be Independent Directors. Conrad Yiu, a Non-executive Director, is not considered by the Board to be independent as he is a co-founder and has been engaged as a consultant to the Company. Mark Coulter is an Executive Director.

As foreshadowed in the 2020 Corporate Governance Statement, an additional Independent Non-executive Director, Ms Belinda Rowe, was appointed on 26 February 2021. The Board will continue to review the combined expertise of the Directors in considering if additional director(s) should be appointed.

The Chairman is an Independent Non-executive Director and there is a clear division of responsibility between the Chairman and the Chief Executive Officer.

The Board regularly reviews the independence of each Non-executive Director in light of information relevant to this assessment (as disclosed by each Non-executive Director to the Board).

The Board does not believe that it should establish an arbitrary limit on tenure. While tenure limits can help to ensure that there are fresh ideas and viewpoints available to the Board, they hold the disadvantage of losing the contribution of Directors who have been able to develop, over a period of time, increasing insight into the Company and its operation and, therefore, an increasing contribution to the Board as a whole. Accordingly, tenure is just one of the factors that the Board takes into account when assessing the independence and ongoing contribution of a Director in the context of the overall Board process.

The names of current Directors and the date they were appointed to the Board are set out below.

Director	Date of appointment to the Board of Temple & Webster Group Ltd
Conrad Yiu	6 October 2015
Susan Thomas	23 February2016
Stephen Heath	15 March 2016
Mark Coulter	23 October 2019
Belinda Rowe	26 February2021

Induction and continuing education of Directors

The Company has a program for induction of new Directors and a continuing 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.

Act ethically and responsibly

Code of Conduct

The Company is committed to a high level of ethical standards in all business practices. The Company aspires to be a role model in conducting business honestly and fairly. It is proud of the quality of its employees and of the professional reputation and market image built by their work. Accordingly, on 6 November 2015, the Board adopted a formal Code of Conduct, which outlines how the Company expects its representatives to behave and conduct business in the workplace. All employees (including temporary employees and contractors) and Directors must comply with the Code of Conduct.

The Code of Conduct is available on the Company's website under 'About Us' then ‘Corporate Governance’.

Conflicts of interest

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 the Chair in accordance with the Companies Code of Conduct and, in respect of directors, the Company’s Constitution. Personnel will not use their role within the Group for political interests at any time, or for community interests unless authorised by the Company.

Whistleblower Policy

The Company has adopted a Whistleblower Policy to ensure it complies with its obligations in relation to whistleblowers as set out in the Corporations Act 2001 (Cth) . The Board is ultimately responsible for this Policy as part of the Company’s broader risk management and corporate governance framework. The importance of protecting whistleblowers has been recognised for many years as a means of improving the compliance culture of corporations and improving the detection of corporate crime. The Company recognises that implementing a robust whistleblowing framework supports good governance. Where corporate misconduct is brought to light, this enables the Company to address it and prevent it from recurring.

Anti-Bribery & Corruption Policy

• bribes;

• gifts and hospitality;

• approval process for gifts and benefits;

On 6 November 2015 the Company adopted a Price Sensitive Information Policy, which 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 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.

Additionally, the Company recognises that potential investors and other interested stakeholders may wish to obtain information about the Company from time to time.

To achieve this, the Company communicates information regularly to shareholders and other stakeholders through a range of forums and publications. The Company also has in place an investor relations program to facilitate two-way communication with investors.

Recognises and manages risk

Risk management

Risk management is viewed by the Company as integral to its objective of creating and maintaining shareholder value. The Company is committed to embedding risk management practices through all levels of the organisation to support the achievement of business objectives and to fulfil its corporate governance obligations.

Under the Board Charter one of the key roles and responsibilities of the Board is reviewing, ratifying and monitoring systems of risk management and internal compliance and control, and identifying business risks facing the Company and using reasonable endeavours to ensure that appropriate monitoring and reporting internal controls are in place to manage such risks. The Board has established the Audit and Risk Management Committee to assist it in discharging its functions.

Internal audit

Given the size of the Company, the Company does not have an internal audit function.

Instead, the finance function, working with external advisors as appropriate, oversees the adequacy and effectiveness of the Company’s systems for risk management, internal control and governance, and provides recommendations to improve the efficiency and effectiveness of these systems and processes. The head of finance function provides the Audit and Risk Management Committee with information relevant to assist the Committee discharge its roles and responsibilities.

The Audit and Risk Management Committee has considered whether the group has any material exposure to economic, environmental and social sustainability risks and determined that there is only exposure to the following economic risk, and no material exposure to any environmental and social sustainability risks.

Continued growth of retail ecommerce in general and growth in demand for furniture and homewares may be affected by general economic factors

While the B2C retail ecommerce market and the furniture and homewares segment have been growing there is no guarantee this will continue into the future or as currently forecast. Temple & Webster Group is subject to factors outside its current control including Australia’s outlook for economic growth, cash rate, instability in real estate and housing market taxation, unemployment rate, consumer sentiment, global economic outlook, COVID19 impacts, foreign economic shocks, adverse exchange rate instability and building activity. One or more of these factors could cause a slowing or contraction in the forecasted growth in the market and industry. As a

9

result, Temple & Webster Group may not be able to meet its business objectives which would adversely affect Temple & Webster Group’s financial and operational performance.

Remunerate fairly and responsibly

Nomination and Remuneration Committee

The Company has established a Nomination and Remuneration Committee which is responsible for matters relating to the remuneration of the Directors, Chief Executive Officer and other senior executives.

Securities Dealing Policy
