Continuous Disclosure Policy - Summary

Purpose of policy

The purpose of the Continuous Disclosure Policy is to establish a process by which the Company can promptly identify and, if required, disclose relevant information to the market.

Identification of relevant information

Disclosure Officers have been appointed from each Business to co-ordinate the communication of price sensitive information concerning the Company to the MD&CEO, the Company Secretary and/or the CFO. Employees are required to immediately notify a Disclosure Officer of any information they become aware of which is material or price sensitive. Guidelines are provided to employees to assist in assessing information, however the determination of what constitutes material price sensitive information, and whether an exception to the requirement to disclose applies, is a matter for the Board or its authorised delegate.

Disclosure of information

All information disclosed to the ASX appears on the Company's website.

The Policy provides varying authority levels and consultation requirements for information released to ASX. This ranges from Board authority in relation to company transforming events and matters of strategic or reputational significance, through to administrative matters which can be approved by the Company Secretary. Contingency arrangements are in place where releases are time critical and the relevant person is not available.

Information provided to ASX will not be released to other parties until the Company receives formal confirmation of release from ASX. The Company Secretary is responsible for confirming that ASX confirmation has been received.

The Company has a policy of not responding to market speculation and rumours. However, there may be times when it is necessary to release a statement or information. The Chairman and MD&CEO are authorised spokespersons for the Company.

Breaches of policy

Employees are expected to strictly comply with the Continuous Disclosure Policy and breaches will be subject to disciplinary action, up to and including dismissal.
