ADDITIONAL DISCLOSURES APPLICABLE TO EXTERNALLY MANAGED LISTED ENTITIES
- Alternative to Recommendation 1.1 for externally managed listed entities: n/a ☐ set out in our Corporate Governance Statement
The responsible entity of an externally managed listed entity should disclose:
(a) the arrangements between the responsible entity and the listed
entity for managing the affairs of the listed entity; and
(b) the role and responsibility of the board of the responsible entity
for overseeing those arrangements.
- Alternative to Recommendations 8.1, 8.2 and 8.3 for externally managed listed n/a ☐ set out in our Corporate Governance Statement
entities:
An externally managed listed entity should clearly disclose the terms
governing the remuneration of the manager.
1 (#_ftnref1) "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 (#_ftnref2) 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 (#_ftnref3) 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.
4 (#_ftnref4) Tick the box in this column only if you have followed the
relevant recommendation in full for the whole of the period above. Where the
recommendation has a disclosure obligation attached, you must insert the
location where that disclosure has been made, where indicated by the line with
"insert location" underneath. If the disclosure in question has been made in
your corporate governance statement, you need only insert "our corporate
governance statement". If the disclosure has been made in your annual report,
you should insert the page number(s) of your annual report (eg "pages 10-12
of our annual report"). If the disclosure has been made on your website, you
should insert the URL of the web page where the disclosure has been made or
can be accessed (eg "www.entityname.com.au/corporate governance/charters/").
5 (#_ftnref5) If you have followed all of the Council's recommendations in
full for the whole of the period above, you can, if you wish, delete this
column from the form and re-format it.
