1 Under Listing Rule 4.7.3, an entity must lodge with ASX a completed Appendix 4G at the same time as it lodges its annual report with ASX.
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 rule 4.10.3.
- "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.
- Mark whichever option is correct and then complete the page number(s) of the annual report, or the URL of the web page, where the entity's corporate governance statement can be found.

PRINCIPLE 2 - STRUCTURE THE BOARD TO ADD VALUE
personal use only
2.1 The board of a listed entity should:
- have a nomination committee which:
- has at least three members, a majority of whom are independent directors; and
- is chaired by an independent director,
and disclose:
- the charter of the committee;
- the members of the committee; and
- 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
- if it does not have a nomination committee, disclose that fact and the processes it employs to address board succession issues and to ensure that the board has the appropriate balance of skills, knowledge, experience, independence and diversity to enable it to discharge its duties and responsibilities effectively.
[If the entity complies with paragraph (a):]
- the fact that we have a nomination committee that complies with paragraphs (1) and (2):
-
in our Corporate Governance Statement
OR - at this location:
[insert location here]
… and a copy of the charter of the committee:
- at this location:
http://www.audiopixels.com.au/index.cfm/corporate/corporate- governance/
… and the information referred to in paragraphs (4) and (5):
-
in our Corporate Governance Statement
OR
- at this location:
[insert location here]
[If the entity complies with paragraph (b):]
- the fact that we do not have a nomination committee and the processes we employ to address board succession issues and to ensure that the board has the appropriate balance of skills, knowledge, experience, independence and diversity to enable it to discharge its duties and responsibilities effectively:
-
in our Corporate Governance Statement
OR - at this location: [insert location here]
-
an explanation why that is so in our Corporate Governance Statement
The Nomination committee comprises all three directors and only one, Mr Ian Dennis is deemed an independent director and chairman of the committee. Accordingly we do not meet paragraph 1 and until the size of the company warrants the appointment of new independent directors the position will remain the same.
OR
- we are an externally managed entity and this recommendation is therefore not applicable
