Introduction
Key Management Personnel ("KMP") have authority and responsibility for planning, directing and controlling the major activities of the
Company. KMP comprise the directors of the Company.
Compensation levels for KMP are competitively set to attract and retain appropriately qualified and experienced directors and
executives. The Board may seek independent advice on the appropriateness of compensation packages, given trends in comparative
companies both locally and internationally and the objectives of the Company’s compensation strategy.
2.
Remuneration governance
The Directors believe the Company is not currently of a size nor are its affairs of such complexity as to warrant the establishment of a
separate remuneration committees. Accordingly, all matters are considered by the full Board of Directors.
During the financial year, the Company did not engage any remuneration consultants.
3.
Executive remuneration arrangements
The compensation structures are designed to attract suitably qualified candidates, reward the achievement of strategic objectives, and
achieve the broader outcome of creation of value for shareholders. Compensation packages may include a mix of fixed compensation,
equity-based compensation, as well as employer contributions to superannuation funds. Shares and options may only be issued to
directors subject to approval by shareholders in a general meeting.

REMUNERATION REPORT
3.
Executive remuneration arrangements (con’t)
At this stage the Board does not consider the Company’s earnings or earnings related measures to be an appropriate key performance
indicator (KPI). In considering the relationship between the Company’s remuneration policy and the consequences for the Company’s
shareholder wealth, changes in share price are analysed as well as measures such as successful completion of business development
and corporate activities.
When required the Company will formalise remuneration arrangements with executives in employment agreements. During the year,
the Company entered into agreement with Mr. Peter Molloy and Mr. John Rothman. (Refer Services Agreement for further details)
4.
Non-executive director fee arrangements
The Board policy is to remunerate Non-Executive Directors at a level to comparable Companies for time, commitment, and
responsibilities. Non-executive Directors do not receive performance related compensation. Directors’ fees cover all main Board
activities and membership of any committee. The Board has no established retirement or redundancy schemes in relation to NonExecutive Directors.
The Non-Executive Directors have or may be provided with options that are meant to incentivise the Non-Executive Directors. The
board determines payments to the Non-Executive Directors and reviews their remuneration annually based on market practice, duties,
and accountability. Independent external advice will be sought when required.
The maximum aggregate amount of fees that can be paid to Non-Executive Directors is presently limited to an aggregate of $300,000
per annum and any change is subject to approval by shareholders at the General Meeting. Fees for Non-Executive Directors are not
linked to the performance of the Company. However, to align Directors’ interests with shareholder interests, the Directors are
encouraged to hold shares in the Company.
Fees for the Non-Executive Directors for the financial year were $Nil (2015: $Nil) and cover main Board activities only. Non-Executive
Directors may receive additional remuneration for other services provided to the Company.
5.
Company performance, shareholder wealth and Directors’ and Executives’ remuneration
The remuneration policy has been tailored to increase the direct positive relationship between shareholders’ investment objectives and
Directors’ and Executives’ performance. This will be facilitated through the issue of the Employee Incentive Option (“Pl
