Ethical Standards

Promotion of Ethical and Responsible Decision-Making

Directors, officers, employees and consultants to the Company are required to observe high standards of behaviour and business ethics in conducting business on behalf of the Company and they are required to maintain a reputation of integrity on the part of both the Company and themselves.  The Company does not contract with or otherwise engage any person or party where it considers integrity may be compromised.

Directors are required to disclose to the board actual or potential conflicts of interest that may or might reasonably be thought to exist between the interests of the director or the interests of any other party in so far as it affects the activities of the Company and to act in accordance with the Corporations Act if conflict cannot be removed or if it persists.  That involves taking no part in the decision making process or discussions where that conflict does arise.

Securities Trading Policy

Directors are required to make disclosure of any share trading.  The Company policy in relation to share trading is that officers are prohibited to trade whilst in possession of unpublished price sensitive information concerning the Company.  That is information which a reasonable person would expect to have a material effect on the price or value of the Company’s shares.  The policy requires that an officer discuss the proposal to acquire or sell shares with the chairman or the company secretary prior to doing so to ensure that there is no price sensitive information of which that officer might not be aware.  The undertaking of any trading in shares must be notified to the company secretary who makes disclosure to ASX.
