Kate Kidson Senior Advisor, ASX Listings Compliance (Melbourne) Level 4 North Tower, Rialto 525 Collins Street Melbourne VIC 3000
Dear Kate
We attach four ASX Appendix 3Y’s for lodgement with ASX, together with the following explanations why the forms are late in being lodged.
1 Why the ASX Appendix 3Y’s are being lodged late
The Appendices attached are late in being lodged due to an administrative oversight by the Company at the time the changes in Director options took place. Upon discovery of the oversight, the Appendices have been prepared, reviewed and lodged as an attachment to this letter.
We note that the market has already been informed of the terms of Director options in the respective Notices of Shareholder Meetings and through ASX Appendix 3B’s lodged at the time of issuances. Further, the issue of Director options and the terms attaching thereto were approved by shareholders prior to any issuance. However, the Company is aware of its obligations under the ASX Listing Rules and is committed to ensuring compliance with them, including Listing Rules 3.19A and 3.19B.
2 Fluence arrangements 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 and its Directors are aware of their responsibilities under the Listing Rules, including Listing Rules 3.19A and 3.19B. Compliance with the Listing Rules is included in appointment letters for each Director, where, amongst other matters, Director agree to provide the relevant information to the Company so that it can meet its disclosure obligations under Listing Rule 3.19A. The Company also maintains a Share Trading Policy, as well as a Communication and Disclosure Policy. “Continuous Disclosure” is a standing item for discussion on each Board agenda. Directors promptly inform the Company Secretary of securities trading information as soon as possible and within the required timelines. The Company Secretary coordinates disclosures on behalf of Directors and advises of changes in Director options.
3 Additional steps being implemented to warrant compliance with Listing Rule 3.19B
The Company considers its current practices to be adequate and ordinarily effective to ensure compliance with Listing Rules 3.19A and 3.19B. Whilst the relevant ASX Appendix 3B’s were lodged with ASX to report the changes in Director options, the late lodgement of the ASX Appendix 3Y’s is an unfortunate administrative oversight on the part of the Company and does not reflect a deficiency in the normal internal procedures between the Company and its Directors.
However, in light of these occurrences, the statutory compliance function is being supplemented with a standing monthly telephone call involving the Company Secretary, Chief Legal Officer and
external legal counsel. This working group will also refresh the executive team, and Directors, on key statutory disclosure requirements to ensure that this administrative oversight does not reoccur.
Yours faithfully
