Please see the following response in relation to your letter dated 20 October 2020.

The Appendix 3X was lodged late due to an error by the Company Secretary.

The current arrangements are adequate to ensure compliance with Listing Rule 3.19B.

Dear Mr Robertson
Artemis Resources Limited (‘ARV’): Appendix 3X – Initial Director’s Interest Notice Query
ASX refers to the following:
-
ARV’s announcement lodged on the ASX Market Announcements Platform (‘MAP’) on 1 October 2020 confirming the appointment of Mr Boyd Timler as a director of ARV effective on 1 October 2020;
-
ARV’s Appendix 3X lodged on the ASX Market Announcements Platform (‘MAP’) on 19 October 2020 for Mr Timler in respect to unlisted options issued to Mr Timler (the ‘Notice’);
-
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) including whether the change occurred during a closed period where prior written clearance was required and, if so, whether prior written clearance was provided. 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.’
- Listing rule 3.19B which states that:
‘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.’
As the Notice indicated that Mr Timler was appointed on 1 October 2020, it appears that the Notice should have been lodged with ASX by 8 October 2020. As the Notice was lodged on 19 October 2020, it appears that ARV may have breached listing rules 3.19A and/or 3.19B. It also appears that Mr Timler may have breached section 205G of the Corporations Act 2001 (Cth).
