Dear Mr Onyura,

Appendix 3Y – Change of Director’s Interest Notice Query

We refer to the letter dated 2 March 2023 with reference number 69459 ( Letter ). Enero Group Limited ABN 97 091 524 515 ( EGG ) apologises for the delay in lodgement of the relevant Appendix 3Y for each of its Directors Mr Brain and Mr Rowden.

We respond to the request for information raised in the Letter as follows:

  • 1) Please explain why the Appendices 3Y were lodged late.

EGG advises that the late lodgement of each Appendix 3Y was due to administrative delays in confirming the purchase details.

  • 2) What arrangements does EGG 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?

EGG has the following arrangements in place under ASX Listing Rule 3.19B with its directors to ensure that it is able to meet its disclosure obligations under ASX Listing Rule 3.19A:

  • (a) the Company and its directors are aware of their obligations under the ASX Listing Rules including ASX Listing Rules 3.19A and 3.19B;

  • (b) in accordance with ASX Listing Rule 3.19B and Guidance Note 22, this is also covered in the agreements EGG has entered into with each of its directors;

  • (c) at each Board meeting there is a standing agenda item for directors to provide an update to any changes in interests or potential conflicts; and

  • (d) through its registry provider, Automic, EGG has now implemented monitoring for any changes in directors’ interests.

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

EGG confirms its belief that EGG’s arrangements are adequate and enforceable and that these are isolated breaches.

We hope this addresses the concerns raised in the Letter.

Yours sincerely,

Dear Ms Hoyle

Enero Group Limited (‘EGG’): Appendix 3Y – Change of Director’s Interest Notice Query

ASX refers to the following:

  1. EGG’s Appendices 3Y lodged on the ASX Market Announcements Platform (‘MAP’) on 1 March 2023 and 2 March 2023 for Mr David Brain and Mr Ian Rowden respectively (the ‘Notices’);

  2. Listing Rule 3.19A which requires an entity to tell ASX the following:

  3. 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 Notices indicates that a change in Mr Brain’s and separately, Mr Rowden’s notifiable interests occurred on 21 February 2023. It appears that the Notices should have been lodged with ASX by 28 February 2023. Consequently, EGG may have breached Listing Rules 3.19A and/or 3.19B.
