Compliant The Company does not at this time, have an internal audit
function but does have a Compliance Officer whose
responsibilities include reviewing compliance on an
ongoing basis; reporting on compliance matters, including
breaches, to the COO and to the CEO and separately to
the Board; and acting on recommendations of the Board.
Compliance matters are escalated to the Board or ASIC or
other external parties when necessary.
The RMC further reviews the effectiveness of the
Company’s
risk management and
internal control
processes, and advises the Board accordingly.
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 to
manage those risks.
Compliant The Company’s goal is to create the foundations for a long-
term, sustainable business which is respected, supported
and welcomed wherever it operates. Health, safety, the
environment and community are important to Wisr. This
commentary details the Company’s exposure to material
economic, environmental and social sustainability risks
and how it manages these risks.
Economic sustainability risks
Economic sustainability is the ability of an entity to continue
operating at an effective economic level over the long-term.
A range of factors can influence the level of the Company’s
economic sustainability, including the following:

Financing risks

Credit and fraud risk

Regulatory andlegal risks
  • Financial and reporting risks

  • Operational risks.

Environmental sustainability risks

Environmental sustainability is the ability of an entity to continue operating in a manner that does not compromise the health of the ecosystems in which it operates over the long-term.

Social sustainability risks

Social sustainability is the ability of an entity to continue operating in a manner that meets accepted social norms and needs over the long-term.

The RMC has considered the Company’s exposure to economic, environmental and social sustainability risks and, whilst it has not identified any material risks, it will continue to monitor and review these risk categories.

Principle 8 – Remunerate fairly and responsibly A listed entity should pay director remuneration sufficient to attract and retain high quality directors and design its executive remuneration to attract, retain and motivate high quality senior executives and to align their interests with the creation of value for security holders.

  • (a) have a remuneration committee which:

    • (1) has at least three members, a majority of whom are independent directors; and

Part- During the Reporting Period, the Company’s Board Compliant established the NRC, to assist the Board in fulfilling its obligations in relation to remuneration and nomination matters and advise the Board on remuneration policies and practices within the Company. Given that the Board currently comprises 3 directors, the NRC has only 2 members, both of whom are independent directors. The committee is chaired by Mr Craig Swanger, who is an independent director. The Board considers the committee’s composition to be appropriate to the Company’s requirements and the fulfilment of the NRC’s mandate.

  • and disclose:

  • (3) the charter of the committee;

  • (4) the members of the committee; and

  • (5) as at the end of each reporting period, the number of times the committee met throughout the period and the individual attendances of the members at those meetings; or

  • (b) if it does not have a remuneration committee, disclose that fact and the processes it employs for setting the level and composition of remuneration for directors and senior executives and ensuring that such remuneration is appropriate and not excessive.

  • 8.2 A listed entity should separately Compliant disclose its policies and practices regarding the remuneration of non-executive directors and the

As the NRC was established in June 2020, it did not meet during the Reporting Period, but the Company will report annually on NRC meetings and attendance going forward.

The Group’s Remuneration Policy is set out in the Annual Report, in the report of the RNC Chair.

Details of the directors’ and key senior executives’ remuneration are set out in the Remuneration Report section of the Company’s 2020 Annual Report. The structure of Non-Executive Directors’ remuneration is

executives.
distinct from that of executives and is further detailed in the
Remuneration Report.
The Annual Report may be viewed on the Website.
8.3 A listed entity which has an
equity-based remuneration
scheme should:
(a) have a policy on whether
participants are permitted to
enter into transactions
(whether through the use of
derivatives or otherwise)
which limit the economic risk
of participating in the
scheme; and
(b) disclose that policy or a
summary of it.
Compliant Wisr has established various incentive arrangements to
assist in attracting, motivating and retaining management
and employees, including general incentive payments
under contracts of employment, and/or the grant of share
rights or other awards under its Performance Rights Plan.
The Company has adopted a Security Trading Policy which
prohibits directors and restricted persons from using any
derivatives or other products which operate to limit the
economic risk of unvested Company securities.

Our corporate governance statement[1] for the period above can be found at:[2]

These pages of our ☐ annual report: This URL on our http://wisr.com.au ☒ website:

The Corporate Governance Statement is accurate and up to date as at 21 October 2020 and has been approved by the board.

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

Date: 26 October 2020 Name of authorised officer Vanessa Chidrawi 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.
