Following consultation with ASX, the Company has issued the Appendix 3Y and released this announcement (in addition to the Appendix 3G and Initial Announcement) as part of its efforts to update the market.

Trading Policy

The Company notes that its trading policy ( Trading Policy ) prohibits certain persons associated with the Company from undertaking short-term trading in the Company’s securities or otherwise dealing in securities during particular periods ( Prohibition ). However, under section 9 of the Trading Policy, dealings in securities issued under an employee incentive scheme (such as the issue and consolidation of the Director Performance Rights) are excluded from the operation of the Prohibition.

Updated administrative procedures

The Company has now implemented internal administrative systems to ensure that all future issues, conversions and cancellations of unquoted equity securities issued by the Company to Company Directors are notified to ASX in accordance with the Company’s continuous disclosure obligations. The Company has also appointed Automic Group Pty Ltd as its external registry services provider to administer the issue of the performance rights under its 2022 Equity Incentive Plan. The Company has made this appointment to strengthen its corporate governance procedures in an effort to ensure that no similar instances of noncompliance occur in the future.

This announcement is authorised for lodgement by:

Andre Labuschagne Executive Chairman
