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.

Corporate Governance Statement

The Board of Directors is responsible for the corporate governance of TML, including its strategic development.

The ASX Corporate Governance Council outlines 8 core principles of good corporate governance and provides recommendations for the implementation of the respective principles. Whilst it is not mandatory to adopt the Council’s recommendations, the Listing Rules of ASX stipulates that a listed entity is required to provide a statement disclosing the extent to which it has adopted the recommendations in the Reporting Period and, if it has not adopted any of the recommendations, to explain why.

This Corporate Governance Statement cogently sets out TML’s current compliance, as at the date of 22 February 2021, with the ASX Corporate Governance Council’s 4[th] edition Corporate Governance Principles and recommendations ( Recommendations ).

This Statement has been approved by the Board of Directors on 22 February 2021.

TML’s corporate governance principles and policies is structured as follows:

Principle 1: Lay solid foundations for management and oversight

Roles and responsibilities

The Board is responsible for safeguarding TML’s interests and fostering sustainable value creation whilst taking into account the reasonable interests of shareholders, employees, customers, and the communities in which TML operates. This also applies to other relevant stakeholders.

The Board embodies TML’s vision of becoming a leading renewable energy producer in Malaysia, and adopts high standards of occupational health and safety, environmental management and ethics.

The Board meets regularly to review TML’s performance and strives to ensure that it is making satisfactory progress in line with its vision. Its roles and responsibilities are detailed in the Constitution as well as the Board Charter.

To assist the Board in carrying out its responsibilities, the following standing Committees of its members have been established:

  • Audit and Risk Management Committee;

  • • Remuneration and Nomination Committee;

==> picture [559 x 37] intentionally omitted <==

Corporate Governance Statement (continued)

Each Committee has its own Charter that describes the roles and responsibilities delegated to the Committee by the Board. Charters for the Board and its Committees are reviewed by the Board annually and were last reviewed on 22 February 2021.

The Board delegates the responsibility of implementing the strategic direction and managing the dayto-day operations of TML to the directors.

Background Checks on New Appointment

When the Board agrees to appoint a new director, appropriate checks on their background and details of any conflicting interest that may influence his or her capacity to bring about independent judgment on the Board is carried out, using the services of external consultants and/or any known information available, if considered necessary.

The Remuneration and Nomination Committee is responsible for deliberating upon and making recommendations to the Board about the process for nomination and selection of directors for the Board, the Board committees and the performance of the directors.

Under TML's Remuneration and Nomination Charter:

  • The Remuneration and Nomination Committee must ensure that a candidate for directorship has the appropriate range of skills, experience and expertise that will best complement Board effectiveness and TML’s business;

  • The Remuneration and Nomination Committee must ensure appropriate checks are undertaken prior to the appointment of any new director; and

  • In the case of a candidate standing for election or re-election as a director, the candidate must disclose details of any interest, position, association or relationship that might influence, or reasonably be perceived to influence his or her capacity to independently consider issues before the Board, and their ability to act in the best interests of TML and its security holders.

When a candidate’s nomination for election is being put forward for approval by security-holders at an Annual General Meeting (AGM), all material information in TML’s possession that the Board considers relevant to the candidate’s election as a Director will be provided to the security-holders in the relevant Notice of meeting.

An announcement is then made on the stock exchange upon formal appointment by the Board.

Written Agreement for Directors

TML has established a written agreement with its controlling shareholder, Cash Nexus (M) Sdn Bhd for the services and responsibilities of all the executive directors. The Executive Directors are bound by the terms of their agreements with Cash Nexus (M) Sdn Bhd.

TML does not consider that the Non-Executive Directors require written agreements with it at this stage.

Each Principal Director has signed a deed of access and indemnity with TML.

Corporate Governance Statement (continued)

Director Retirement and Re-election

Directors are retired in accordance with the provisions of the Constitution and are eligible for election. Retiring Directors are not automatically re-appointed.

Jack Tian Hock Tan and Mr. Soong Swee Koon will retire by rotation at the coming Annual General Meeting. They are standing for re-election at the coming Annual General Meeting and are unanimously supported by the directors.

Company Secretary

The company secretary is accountable to the Board, through the Executive Chairman, on matters related to the functioning of the Board, including advising the Board and its Committees on governance matters, monitoring that Board policies and procedures are followed, coordinating the timely dispatch of Board papers, drafting minutes of meetings and similar matters. The decision to remove or appoint the Company Secretary requires the Board’s approval or ratification.

Diversity and Inclusion Policy

TML recognises the unique qualities that the different individuals bring to the organisation, which has resulted in these individuals working together cohesively in the furtherance of TML’s objectives. TML has adopted a diversity and inclusion policy.

Essentially, this policy is in place to ensure employees receive fair and equal treatment in all aspects of their work. Discrimination, bullying, harassment and victimisation is unacceptable and will not be tolerated. This policy is available on TML’s website.

The Board has established the following measurable objectives for advancing gender diversity:

  • The number of women employed at TML as a proportion of the total workforce; and

  • The number of female directors as a proportion of the total director.

The following table provides an overview of TML’s gender diversity objective for financial period 2020:

Percentage of Directors who are women 25%
Percentage ofSenior Executive who are women -
Percentage of workforce who are women 25%

Reviews and Evaluations

Under the Board Charter, it is a requirement for the performance of the Board and for individual directors to be assessed each year. TML has a formal process for evaluating the effectiveness, process and structure of the Board, its committees and individual directors. The Board is committed to regular assessment of its effectiveness and believes that the contribution of individual directors is essential to improve the governance and guidance of TML.

The review of the Board and its directors is focused on matters such as the structure, effectiveness and contributions made by each director and is working towards achieving the strategic objectives of TML.

19 | P a g e

==> picture [559 x 36] intentionally omitted <==

==> picture [559 x 37] intentionally omitted <==

The Board is collectively responsible for conducting the annual review of the Board’s performance which involves open and constructive dialogue between respective parties.

Corporate Governance Statement (continued)

The Executive Chairman consults with individual Directors as part of the assessment process. The results of this assessment are documented. The most recent review was conducted during the reporting period.

The Nomination and Remuneration Committee will conduct periodic performance reviews for the senior executive. Each senior executive has personal objective as well as objectives related to the performance of business or functional units. A report is provided to and reviewed by the Committee. Performance reviews and evaluation for the senior executive are conducted at least annually and have been conducted for the Reporting period.

Principle 2 Structure the Board to add value

Board Composition

As of the date of this report, the Board is comprised of 3 Non-Executive, Independent Directors, 3 Executive Directors and 2 Alternate Directors.

The directors have elected Tan Sri Dr. Mah King Thian as the Chairman.

The name, qualifications and tenure of each director is set out on page 7 - 12 of the directors’ report.

The Role of the Chairman

The Board recognises the principle that the Chairman should be an independent director but believes that Tan Sri Dr. Mah King Thian is the most appropriate person to lead the Board as Chairman following listing, given his long-standing experience and business relationships. The Board is confident that Tan Sri Dr. Mah is able to bring quality and independent judgment to relevant issues falling within the scope of the role of Chairman.

The Chairman is responsible for the leadership of the Board, including taking all reasonable steps to ensure that the Board functions effectively, and for communicating the views of the Board to the public. The particular responsibilities of the Chairman are outlined in the Board Charter.

Corporate Governance Statement (continued)

Board Skills Matrix

TML seeks to maintain a Board of Directors with a broad range of financial and other skills, experience and knowledge relevant to overseeing the business of a renewable energy company.

Independence of Directors

TML considers a Director to be independent if the Director is independent of management and free of any business or other relationships that could materially interfere, or be perceived as interfering, with the exercise of an unfettered and independent judgement in relation to matters concerning TML.

The Company considers that Jack Tan, Lee Chong Hoe and Derrick Martin De Souza are independent directors for the reasons given below:

Jack Tan has been a director of the Company since 16 February 2007, and acted as executive chairman from that date until the date of ASX listing. He holds less than 1% of the total issued shares in the Company. Although Mr. Tan has been a director and executive of the Company for some time, this was during the time that the Company’s business activities were investment in Vietnam and later mineral exploration. Mr. Tan has had no involvement in the Company’s current business, namely the operation of a biogas power plant in Malaysia and sale of energy through the Company’s wholly owned subsidiary Mistral Engineering Sdn Bhd, which was acquired by the Company on 10 September 2015. As such, the Company considers that Mr. Tan is an independent director of the Company.

21 | P a g e

==> picture [559 x 36] intentionally omitted <==

==> picture [559 x 37] intentionally omitted <==

Corporate Governance Statement (continued)

Lee Chong Hoe’s appointment as director of the Company took effect on 16 September 2015. Mr. Lee is a lawyer in Malaysia, who has in the past provided legal services to Cepatwawasan Group Berhad ( CGB ), the parent company of Cash Nexus which holds shares in the Company. Mr. Lee does not hold any shares in the Company. Given that this past relationship is with CGB and not the Company or any of its child entities, the Company considers Mr. Lee as an independent director of the Company.

Derrick Martin De Souza’s appointment as director of the Company took effect on 8 June 2018. He holds less than 0.01% of the total issued shares in the Company. He has worked as a consultant to businesses not related to TML for the past 15 years and his work experiences include working in various capacities in accounting, Australian and international taxation, auditing, international banking, insurance, mergers and acquisitions, corporate restructuring for stock market listings, valuations and strategic planning and financial advisory. The Company considers Mr. De Souza as an independent director of the Company.

The Company’s Board Charter states that the Board will comprise a majority of independent nonexecutive directors. The Company currently does not comply with this requirement of its Board Charter for the reasons given below, but the Board will aim to comply with this requirement at a later stage.

The Company has 6 directors, 3 of whom are independent directors. Given the size of the Company, the Board believes that it has an appropriate size and mix of skills to provide independent and transparent decisions for the benefit of the Company, despite not having the recommended majority independent directors.

Instead, the Board has implemented several policies and practices to enable it to make transparent and independent decisions. For example, directors are not allowed to be present during discussions or decision making on matters in which they have or could be seen to potentially have a material conflict of interest. In addition, directors are excluded from taking part in the appointment of third party service providers where the director has an interest, which provides further separation and safeguards to independence.

Remuneration and Nomination Committee

The purpose of this committee is to assist the Board and make recommendations to it in relation to the appointment and remuneration of new Directors (both Executive and Non-Executive) and senior executives. The Committee is to have a minimum of 3 members. At any time the composition of the Board permits, the Committee will also consist only of Non-Executive Directors, and a majority of Independent Directors, and will be chaired by an Independent Chairman appointed by the Board.

The committee comprises the following members:

  • Mr Lee Chong Hoe as Chairman;

  • Mr Derrick Martin De Souza; and

  • Mr Jack Tian Hock Tan.

22 | P a g e

Corporate Governance Statement (continued)

Functions performed by the committee will include the following:

  • Providing advice in relation to remuneration packages of senior executives, non-executive Directors and executive Directors, equity-based incentive plans and other employee benefit programmes;

  • Reviewing TML’s recruitment, retention and termination policies;

  • Reviewing TML’s superannuation arrangements;

  • Reviewing succession plans of senior executives and Executive Directors;

  • Recommending individuals for nomination as members of the Board and its committees;

  • Reviewing the performance of senior executives and members of the Board annually;

  • Considering those aspects of TML’s remuneration policies and packages, including equity based incentives, which should be subject to shareholder approval;

  • Monitoring the size and composition of the Board;

  • Reviewing TML’s diversity policy and its effectiveness;

  • Development of suitable criteria for the selection and appointment of Board candidates;

  • Identification and consideration of possible candidates, and recommendation to the Board accordingly; and

  • Establishment of procedures, and recommendations for succession plans for the Board.

The Committee has adopted a formal Charter that is required to be reviewed annually. The Charter was most recently reviewed and updated on 26 February 2020. A copy of the Charter is available on TML’s website.

The names of the current Directors and their experience, length of service as a Director and membership of Board Committees are set out in the Directors’ Report for the Reporting Period contained in the Annual Report.

Directors’ Development and Induction

The Board receives regular progress reports on financial, commercial and operational updates on the Company’s business and may request elucidation or explanation of those reports. If required, Directors will be updated with industry developments, regulatory changes and ongoing strategy reviews.

Directors are otherwise encouraged to maintain the skills and knowledge they need to perform their roles by attending relevant courses, seminars and conferences. With the prior approval of the Chairman, which may not be unreasonably withheld, each Director has the right to seek independent professional advice at the cost of TML concerning any aspect of TML’s operations or undertakings in order to fulfil their duties and responsibilities as Directors, and to ensure independent decision making.

Corporate Governance Statement (continued)

Principle 3 Act ethically and responsibly

Core Values

We strive to be and communities. innovative within the law and meet the requirements of various stakeholders.

Code of Conduct

The Board acknowledges the need for the highest standards of corporate governance practice and ethical conduct by all directors, employees, consultants and contractors of TML.

The Board has adopted two Codes of Conduct for employees, and directors and senior executives respectively, which establishes a clear set of values that places emphasis on a culture encompassing strong corporate governance, sound business practice and good ethical conduct.

Recognising the increased role played by women and minorities in the workforce, TML has also adopted a Diversity Policy which is managed by the Remuneration and Nomination Committee. Key to this policy is the establishment of measurable gender diversity objectives.

Recognising that individuals connected with TML will sometimes be in possession of market-sensitive information, TML has adopted a Securities Trading Policy. Compliant with ASX Listing Rule 12.9, this policy also restricts any transactions in TML’s Shares by TML directors, officers, consultants, senior management and other employees and related persons who, in the course of their interactions with TML, are in possession of such market-sensitive information.

Whistleblower policy

TML is committed to maintaining a high standard of integrity, investor confidence and good corporate governance. To achieve this, it is crucial that all of our employees and partners understand, follow, and adhere to our corporate values. We have put guidelines and policies in place to ensure we live by these values in our day-to-day work.

Together with our values, we want to have feedback and encourage people to speak up when they see activity or behaviour that they feel is wrong or does not match our values.

The goal of this policy is to provide very clear guidelines on how we approach and manage this feedback. The Board did not receive any feedback during the period of review.

Under the period of review, there is no report/feedback received by the Board.

Corporate Governance Statement (continued)

Anti-bribery and corruption policy

TML strictly prohibits bribery or other improper payments in any of its business operations. This prohibition applies to all business activities, anywhere in the world, irrespective of involvement of government officials or other commercial enterprises. A bribe or other improper payment to secure a business advantage is never acceptable and can expose individuals and TML to possible criminal prosecution, reputational harm and/or other serious consequences.

The prohibition on bribery and other improper payments applies to all business activities, but is particularly important when dealing with government officials. The Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission Act 2018 and similar laws in other countries strictly prohibit improper payments to gain a business advantage and impose severe penalties for violations.

The Board is not aware of any instances of bribery during the periods of review.

Principle 4 Safeguard integrity in financial reporting

The purpose of this committee is to monitor the integrity of TML’s financial statements, and monitor and review the effectiveness of TML’s internal financial control system and internal and external audit functions.

The committee is to include at least 3 members, the majority of whom are Non-Executive Directors, including the chair who will not be the chairperson of the Board. At least one member is to have significant, recent and relevant financial management experience.

The committee comprises the following members:

  • Mr Jack Tian Hock Tan as Chairman;

  • Mr Lee Chong Hoe; and

  • Mr Soong Swee Koon.

The Company considers that including an executive director is appropriate given his intimate knowledge of the Company’s operations, who may be replaced with a Non-Executive Director at a later date.

  • Monitor the integrity of the financial statements of TML and its subsidiaries by reviewing significant financial reporting matters;

Assurance from CEO and CFO

Before it approves the financial statements for the full-year or half-year, the Board receives a written declaration from the CEO and the CFO that:

  • In their opinion, the financial records of TML have been properly maintained in accordance with the Corporations Act 2001 and the Financial Report for the reporting period complies with relevant accounting standards. It also gives a true and fair view of TML’s financial position at the end of the Reporting Period and its financial performance during the reporting period; and

  • To the best of their knowledge and belief, their declaration on those matters is founded on a sound system of risk management and internal control that is operating effectively in all material respects in relation to financial reporting risk, based on the risk management framework adopted by TML.

External Auditor

TML has appointed Hall Chadwick as its external auditor. Their key responsibility is to audit and review the financial reports of TML and provide an independent and professional opinion on whether TML’s financial report gives a true and fair view of TML’s financial position and financial performance and whether it complies with Australian Accounting Standards and the Corporations Regulations 2001. The external auditor’s opinion is on page 69 - 72 of the report.

TML has adopted a Continuous Disclosure Policy to outline responsibilities in relation to disclosing information to the market and shareholders, and to ensure compliance with the continuous disclosure regime under ASX Listing Rules and the Corporations Act 2001.

Information is communicated to security holders through:

  • Annual and half-yearly financial reports;

  • Annual and other general meetings convened for security holder review and approval of Board proposals;

Corporate Governance Statement (continued)

Annual General Meeting (“AGM”)

The Board encourages full participation by shareholders at the AGM to ask questions and make comments about TML’s operations and the performance of the Board and senior management. Notices for general meetings and other communications with shareholder are drafted to ensure that they are honest and accurate, and that the nature of the business of the meeting is clearly stated and explained where necessary. Important issues are presented to the shareholders as single resolutions. The shareholders are requested to vote on matters such as the election and aggregate remuneration of Directors, the adoption of the Company’s Remuneration Report, the granting of options and shares to Directors and changes to the Constitution. Substantive resolutions are decided by a poll rather than by a show of hands.

AGM will be held at our Sydney corporate office with the External Auditor’s attendance to answer shareholders’ questions. Overseas Directors can participate in the AGM through video or audio conferencing.

Principle 7 Recognise and manage risk

The Board is responsible for setting TML’s risk strategy and risk management. This responsibility is assisted by the Audit and Risk Committee.

Internal Audit

TML does not have an internal audit function but has outsourced it to an internal audit firm in relation to group’s subsidiary Mistral Engineering Sdn Bhd. The process for evaluating and continually improving the effectiveness of its risk management and internal control processes is overseen by the Audit and Risk Committee in accordance with its charter.

Risk Management Framework and Internal Control

The Board recognises the importance of a sound risk management framework and internal control system to safeguard shareholders’ investments and TML’s assets.

The Board affirms its responsibility for the adequacy and effectiveness of TML’s System of internal control. This includes reviewing the adequacy and integrity of financial, operational and compliance controls and risk management procedures.

In view of the limitations that are inherent in any system of internal control, the Board ensures that this system is designed to manage TML’s risks within an accepted risk profile. Hence, the system can provide reasonable but not absolute assurance against material misstatement of management and financial information and records or against operational failures, fraud or financial loss.

The Board has established an ongoing process for identifying, evaluating and managing significant risks faced by TML. This ongoing process which includes updating the system of internal controls when there are changes in the business environment or regulatory guidelines, is reviewed by the Board. The Board is of the view that the risk management framework and the system of internal controls in place for the period under review, is sound and sufficient enough to safeguard the shareholders’ investments and TML’s assets.

28 | P a g e

==> picture [559 x 36] intentionally omitted <==

Corporate Governance Statement (continued)

A formal risk management framework has been established to ensure that an organised and consistent approach is practised in the ongoing process of identifying and assessing various critical risks that are considered likely to affect the profitable operation of the business. These include operational risk, market risk, legal risk and environmental risk. After the review and taking into consideration the nature of TML’s business, the Directors are of the view that TML is not materially exposed to legal and market risks and therefore have concluded to focus on the environmental and operational risks relevant to its business segment.

The Board is supported by the Audit and Risk Committee in overseeing the risk management efforts within TML. The management has worked within the approved and adopted framework for principal risks affecting TML’s strategic business objectives throughout the period. Additional reviews will be carried out as and when required annually. The ongoing implementation is monitored by the Management and is reported quarterly to the Board. The outcome of such risk management efforts is a database of all major risks, and their controls or action plans to mitigate such risks were compiled to produce a risk profile.

TML has also implemented a system of internal controls as set out in the Operations Manual. The Board will review from time to time and update the financial authority limits set out therein as and when necessary. Such a system of internal controls and financial authority limits serves as a check and balance mechanism on TML’s daily operations.

Review has been undertaken by the Board during the period and there is no actual, suspected or alleged fraud affecting TML.

Principle 8 Remunerate fairly and responsibly

The Board oversees Executive and Non-Executive Director remuneration arrangements and has established a Remuneration Committee to assist it in this regard.

Remuneration Report

A Remuneration Report required under Section 300A(1) of the Corporations Act 2001 (Cth) is provided in page 13 - 16 of the Directors’ Report.
