Continuous Disclosure

Austal Limited has established written policies and procedures on information disclosure. The focus of these procedures is on continuous disclosure and improving access to information for all investors.

The Chief Executive Officer has responsibility for:

• making sure that the company complies with Continuous Disclosure requirements
• overseeing and co-ordinating disclosure of information to the stock exchange, analysts, brokers, shareholders, the media and the public
• educating Directors and staff on the Company's disclosure policies and procedures and raising awareness of the principles underlying continuous disclosure

Price sensitive information is publicly released through the stock exchange before disclosing it to analysts or others outside the company. Further dissemination to investors is also managed through the Australian Stock Exchange.
