Corporate Governance and Constitution - About Finders

ensuring that the performance of management, and the Board itself, is regularly assessed and monitored;
monitoring compliance with regulatory and ethical standards; and

leading the Board in its duties to the Company;
ensuring there are processes and procedures in place to evaluate the performance of the Board, its committees and individual directors;

Directors and the management team notify the Managing Director or the Company Secretary immediately if they become aware of any information that should be considered for release to the market.

Disclosures concerning financial information are reviewed and approved by the Chairman of the Audit Committee prior to their release to ASX and AIM.

Price-sensitive information is released to ASX and AIM. Price-sensitive information is not disclosed to analysts or others outside the Company until after the ASX and/or AIM confirm that the announcement has been released. The information is posted on the Company's website immediately after the ASX and/or AIM confirm that the announcement has been released, with the aim of making the information accessible to the widest audience.

The Company has a policy of not responding to market rumours and speculation unless it is required to do so by ASX or AIM.

Russell Fountain (appointed 2 March 2010)
Quinn Roussel (appointed 2 March 2010)

Messrs Fountain and Roussel were appointed as additional members of the Committee on 2 March 2010. The Remuneration Committee Charter requires that the Committee consists of a majority of independent directors.
