Key Policies

Continuous Disclosure Policy

Tatts Group is committed to complying with its continuous disclosure obligations under the Corporations Act 2001 and the ASX Listing Rules and releasing relevant information to the market and shareholders in a timely and direct manner.

The Board has adopted a policy which is designed to ensure that information which is not generally available and which may have a material effect on the price or value of Tatts Group's securities (price sensitive information) is identified and appropriately considered by the Board, where relevant, and senior executives for disclosure to the market. The policy is also designed to ensure accountability at a senior executive level for that compliance. The policy also sets out procedures which must be followed in relation to releasing announcements to the market and discussion with analysts, the media or shareholders.

Securities Trading Policy

The Board has adopted a policy which sets out the circumstances in which Directors and employees of Tatts Group may deal in Tatts Group securities and enter into transactions in products which operate to limit the economic risk of holding Tatts Group's securities.

An overriding principle of the policy is that Directors and employees who possess price sensitive information must not deal in Tatts Group's securities or enter into any transactions in risk limiting products. The policy specifies "blackout periods" during which Directors and employees must not deal in Tatts Group's securities or enter into transactions in risk limiting products, regardless of whether or not they are in possession of price sensitive information. The policy has limited exceptions (e.g.acquisitions under employee equity plans).

Securities Hedging Policy

Tatts Group offers eligible employees the opportunity to participate in equity based incentive plans as part of their remuneration package. Tatts Group has a hedging policy which clarifies Tatts Group's position in respect to the Long Term Incentive Plan (LTIP).

The policy states that eligible employees may not enter into any contract, arrangement or transaction which is designed or intended to hedge or otherwise limit the individual's economic exposure to Tatts Group shares which are subject to an unvested award granted under the LTIP or other equity based plan. Once vested the employee can deal with those shares, subject to Tatts Group's share trading policy.

However, the policy does not restrict or prevent employees from dealing with shares in which they have a legal or equitable interest and are not the subject of the LTIP Rules.

The policy also provides that disciplinary action such as counselling, written warning or termination of employment, will be taken where an employee breaches the policy and damage to Tatts Group results.

Shareholder Communication

The Board has adopted shareholder communication practices to promote effective communication, ready access to information and ease of participation in general meetings. Tatts Group's website (www.tattsgroup.com) contains all relevant material and Tatts Group will provide a simultaneous web cast of the Annual General Meeting.
