Director’s Interest Notices

Dear Marta,

In reference to the recent ASX late lodgement, I note that this occurred with the changeover of directors recently. Please accept apologies for the late lodgement which had occurred. This was an administrative oversight from my office.

I can confirm that the company does have a process in place with its directors to ensure timely notification and lodgement with the ASX.

The directors continue to report any changes in their interests in the company, by email on a timely basis, in order to comply with the Listing Rules and this can be further evidenced by the five recent 3Y Change of Interest notices lodged by the company well within the reporting requirement.

Yours sincerely, Allomak Limited

Dear Tom

Allomak Limited (the “Company”) - Director’s Interest Notices

We refer to the following;

  1. The announcement lodged by the Company with ASX Limited (“ASX”) on 14 October 2009 confirming the appointment of Mr Simon Doyle and Mr Duncan Fischer as a directors of the Company effective 14 October 2009, and the resignation of Mr Donald Easter and Mr John Anderson effective 14 October 2009.

  2. The Appendix 3X’s lodged by the Company with ASX on 27 October 2009 for Mr Simon Doyle and Mr Duncan Fischer (the “Initial Director’s Interest Notices”);

  3. The Appendix 3Z’s lodged by the Company with ASX on 27 October 2009 for Mr Donald Easter and Mr John Anderson (the “Final Director’s Interest Notices”)(collectively the “Notices”);

  4. Listing rule 3.19A which requires an entity to tell ASX the following:

    • 3.19A.1 The notifiable interests of a director of the entity (or in the case of a trust, a director of the responsible entity of the trust) at the following times.

      • On the date that the entity is admitted to the official list.

      • On the date that a director is appointed.

      • The entity must complete Appendix 3X and give it to ASX no more than 5 business days after the entity’s admission or a director’s appointment.

    • 3.19A.2 A change to a notifiable interest of a director of the entity (or in the case of a trust, a director of the responsible entity of the trust). The entity must complete Appendix 3Y and give it to ASX no more than 5 business days after the change occurs.

    • 3.19A.3 The notifiable interests of a director of the entity (or in the case of a trust, a director of the responsible entity of the trust) at the date that the director ceases to be a director. The entity must complete Appendix 3Z and give it to ASX no more than 5 business days after the director ceases to be a director.

  5. Listing rule 3.19B which states as follows.

==> picture [596 x 75] intentionally omitted <==

An entity must make such arrangements as are necessary with a director of the entity (or in the case of a trust, a director of the responsible entity of the trust) to ensure that the director discloses to the entity all the information required by the entity to give ASX completed Appendices 3X, 3Y and 3Z within the time period allowed by listing rule 3.19.A. The entity must enforce the arrangements with the director.

  1. The Companies Update dated 27 June 2008, reminding listed entities of their obligation to notify ASX within 5 business days of the notifiable interests in securities held by each director and outlining the action that ASX would take in relation to breaches of listings rules 3.19A and 3.19B.

As the Initial Director’s Interest Notices indicated that the directors were appointed on 14 October 2009 it appears that the Initial Director’s Interest Notices should have been lodged with ASX by 21 October 2009. As the Initial Director’s Interest Notices were lodged on 27 October 2009, it appears that the Company may be in breach of listing rules 3.19A and/or 3.19B.

As the Final Director’s Interest Notices indicated that the directors ceased to be directors on 14 October 2009 it appears that the Final Director’s Interest Notices should have been lodged with ASX by 21 October 2009. As the Final Director’s Interest Notices were lodged on 27 October 2009, it appears that the Company may be in breach of listing rules 3.19A and/or 3.19B.

Please note that ASX is required to record details of breaches of the listing rules by listed companies for its reporting requirements.

ASX reminds the Company of its contract with ASX to comply with the listing rules. In the circumstances ASX considers that it is appropriate that the Company make necessary arrangements to ensure there is not a reoccurrence of a breach of the listing rules.

Having regard to listing rules 3.19A and 3.19B and Guidance Note 22: “Director Disclosure of Interests and Transactions in Securities - Obligations of Listed Entities”, we ask that you answer each of the following questions .

  1. Please explain why the Notices were lodged late.

  2. What arrangements does the Company have in place with its directors to ensure that it is able to meet its disclosure obligations under listing rule 3.19A?

  • 3 If the current arrangements are inadequate or not being enforced, what additional steps does theCompany intend to take to ensure compliance with listing rule 3.19B?

Your response should be sent to me by e-mail or by facsimile on facsimile number (02) 9241 7620. It should not be sent to the Company Announcements Office.

A response is requested as soon as possible and, in any event, not later than half an hour before the start of trading (i.e. before 9.30 a.m. A.E.D.T.) on Friday 6 November 2009.

Under listing rule 18.7A, a copy of this query and your response will be released to the market, so your response should be in a form suitable for release and must separately address each of the questions asked. If you have any queries or concerns, please contact me immediately

Yours sincerely
