Disclosure
The Company Secretary has been nominated as the person responsible for
communications with the Australian Stock Exchange (ASX). The company
seeks to provide relevant and timely information to its shareholders
and is committed to fulfilling its obligations to the broader market
for continuous disclosure. The company aims to ensure timely provision
and equal access to material information about the company.
The board has ensured that the procedure for identifying and disclosing
material and price sensitive information is in accordance with the
Corporations Act 2001 and the ASX Listing Rules. The company does not
have a formal written policy regarding disclosure but uses strong
communication between the board and management to identify and approve
information for disclosure.
Remuneration Policies
The board determines the remuneration of the Managing Director and key
executives. The board believes that due to the size of the company,
individual salary negotiation is more appropriate than formal
remuneration policies.
The board reviews market comparisons in determining remunerations and
will seek independent external advice as necessary. The company has an
executive option scheme in place that has been previously approved by
shareholders.
Non-executive directors are remunerated by way of directors’ fees
within the limit approved by shareholders. The board determines fees
paid to individual board members. Further information on directors’ and
executives’ remuneration is set out in the directors’ report and notes
to the financial statements.
Code of Conduct
The company has a formal code of conduct for the board, management and
staff. The directors continue to review the business to determine the
most effective and appropriate operating procedures. The company
continues to review its risk management programs across health, safety
and the commercial operations of the business. The company has in place
a comprehensive editorial risk management guideline that is used as the
main guide within the publishing business.
Other Information
Further information relating to the company’s corporate governance
practices has been made publicly available on the company’s website at
