APPENDIX 3Y CHANGE OF DIRECTOR’S INTEREST NOTICE
IGO Limited (ASX:IGO) ( IGO or the Company ) attaches an Appendix 3Y (Change of Director’s Interest Notice) for Dr Xiaoping Yang in relation to a recent purchase of the Company’s securities by Dr Yang.
The trade the subject of the attached Appendix 3Y occurred on 19 January 2021. The Company only became aware of the trade on, 25 January 2021 and due to verifying details of the holding was only able to announce the transaction today.
The trade occurred after the end of the December quarter and before the release of the Company’s December Activities Report and the release of the Company’s half-yearly results, meaning that Dr Yang acquired IGO securities during a notified ‘blackout period’ under the Company's ‘Dealing in Securities Standard’ dated 24 March 2020 ( Trading Policy ). The trade did not fall under any of the exceptions listed in the Trading Policy.
Dr Yang has confirmed to the Board of IGO that she was not in possession of any price sensitive or inside information when she effected the trade, and that the trade related to a small number of securities (only 100 IGO shares).
Dr Yang has advised that the trade occurred as a result of personal oversight. She was recently appointed to the Board of IGO on 1 December 2020, at which point she was provided with all materials applicable to her appointment ( Appointment Materials ), including the Trading Policy. Dr Yang confirmed that she had read and understood the Appointment Materials, including the Trading Policy, prior to effecting the trade.
The Company considers that it has a high level of corporate governance arrangements in place and that this incident occurred as a matter of personal oversight by Dr Yang. These corporate governance arrangements include:
-
All IGO Directors, including Dr Yang, are frequently reminded of their obligations under ASX Listing Rule 3.19A and the Trading Policy.
-
The Company Secretary provides written notice to the IGO Directors and other ‘restricted persons’ advising when the Company is about to enter a ‘blackout period’. The last such notice was emailed to directors and other restricted persons on 22 December 2020 and remains current.
-
Irrespective of whether the Company is in a ‘blackout period’, all IGO Directors must obtain authority from the Chair prior to dealing in IGO shares.
Dr Yang has been advised that any further breaches of the Company’s policies may result in disciplinary action being taken (depending on the circumstances at the time).
