Dear Ms Giles,

Re: Appendix 3Y – Change of Director’s Interest Notice Query – ASX Ref: 26294

We refer to your letter dated 20[th] October 2020 regarding the late lodgement of Appendix 3Y’s and for the purposes of Listing Rule 18.7, Venturex Resources Limited provides the following information:

1. Please explain why the Notices were lodged late.

The Appendix 3Y’s relate to the change in directors’ interest (for Messrs Kiernan, Stralow and Riley) which occurred on the 26[th] August 2020, following the issues of unlisted options pursuant to the Directors participation in the Share Purchase Plan (SPP) dated 17 June 2020. The SPP included one (1) Free Attaching Option for every two (2) New Shares subscribed for in the SPP, subject to Shareholder approval of the free attaching options, which occurred on the 7[th] August 2020. The SPP was closed on the 16[th] July 2020 and a change in directors’ interest was lodged on the 20[th] July 2020 for the issue of the SPP shares.

Pursuant to the Shareholders meeting on the 7 August 2020, a resolution to approve the issue of the free attaching options to subscribers under the SPP was approved as well as a resolution to approve the issue of Free Attaching Options to all directors who participated in the SPP.

Following shareholder approval, the options were issued on the 26[th] August 2020. In this instance, an administrative oversight resulted in the late notice of the change of directors’ interest by the Company.

2. What arrangements does VXR have in place under Listing Rule 3.19B with its directors to ensure that it is able to meet its disclosure obligations under Listing Rule 3.19A?

The Company considers that it has the necessary reporting and notification procedures in place to ensure compliance with the disclosure obligations under Listing Rule 3.19A and 3.19B. In addition, the Company has adopted and complies with its Corporate Governance Policy.

The Directors are aware of their obligations under the ASX Listing Rules that require the Company to notify the ASX within 5 business days after the dealing in securities of the Company (either personally or through an associate) which results in a change in the notifiable interest of a Director in the securities of a Company

3. If the current arrangements are inadequate or not being enforced, what additional steps does VXR intend to take to ensure compliance with Listing Rule 3.19B?

The Company considers its current arrangements are adequate for ensuring the timely notification. In light of the administrative oversight described above, all Directors have been reminded of their obligations to promptly inform the Company Secretary of any changes in their registered ownership details or notifiable interest in accordance with ASX Listing Rules and the Company’s Corporate Governance Policy.

Yours sincerely

Mr Trevor Hart Company Secretary Venturex Resources Limited

Dear Mr Hart

Venturex Resources Limited (‘VXR’): Appendix 3Y – Change of Director’s Interest Notice Query

ASX refers to the following:

  1. VXR’s Appendix 3Y lodged on the ASX Market Announcements Platform (‘MAP’) on 16 October 2020 for Mr Anthony William Kiernan.

  2. VXR’s Appendix 3Y lodged on the ASX Market Announcements Platform (‘MAP’) on 16 October 2020 for Mr Darren John Stralow.

  3. VXR’s Appendix 3Y lodged on the ASX Market Announcements Platform (‘MAP’) on 16 October 2020 for Mr Anthony Miles Reilly,

(Collectively, the ‘Notices’).

  1. 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.’

  1. 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.’

The Notice indicates that a change in Messrs Kiernan, Stralow and Reilly’s notifiable interests occurred on 26 August 2020. It appears that the Notices should have been lodged with ASX by 2 September 2020. Consequently, VXR may have breached Listing Rules 3.19A and/or 3.19B. It also appears that Messrs Kiernan, Stralow and Reilly may have breached section 205G of the Corporations Act 2001 (Cth).
