1. INTRODUCTION

==> picture [173 x 69] intentionally omitted <==

The Corporations Act 2001 (Cth) ( Corporations Act ) contains provisions which prohibit a person in possession of material, non-public information relating to a company from dealing in any way with shares, options or other securities issued by that company or issued or created over the company’s securities by third parties ( Securities ).

The Juno Minerals Limited ( Juno ) Personnel Share Trading Policy ( Policy ) sets guidelines designed to protect Juno and Personnel from intentionally or unintentionally breaching these Laws.

This Policy applies to all Directors, executive officers, employees, contractors and consultants (collectively, Personnel ) of the Juno or any of its subsidiaries which form part of its group of entities.

2. THE LAW

The principal insider trading prohibition in Australian law is contained in section 1043A of the Corporations Act.

Section 1043A prohibits a person (an Insider ) who is in possession of information relating to Juno that is not generally available but, if the information was generally available (see paragraph 3), a reasonable person would expect that information to have a material effect (see paragraph 4) on the price or value of Juno Securities ( Material Non-Public Information ) from:

  • (a) applying for, acquiring, disposing of or entering into an agreement to apply for, acquire or dispose of Juno’s Securities;

  • (b) procuring another person to apply for, acquire, dispose of or enter into an agreement to apply for, acquire or dispose of Juno Securities; or

  • (c) directly or indirectly communicating the Material Non-Public Information to another person when the Insider knows, or ought reasonably to know, that the other person would or would be likely to:

    • (i) apply for, acquire, dispose of or enter into an agreement to apply for, acquire or dispose of Juno’s Securities; or

    • (ii) procure another person to apply for, acquire, dispose of or enter into an agreement to apply for, acquire or dispose of Juno’s Securities.

3. AVAILABLE INFORMATION

Information relating to Juno would be considered to be generally available after it has been released to the Australian Securities and Investments Commission ( ASIC ).

4. INFORMATION HAVING A MATERIAL EFFECT ON JUNO SECURITIES

A reasonable person would be taken to expect information to have a material effect on the price of Juno’s Securities if that information would, or would be likely to, influence persons who commonly invest in securities in deciding whether or not to acquire or dispose of Juno’s Securities.

  • the threat, commencement or settlement of any material litigation or claim;

  • an agreement between Juno (or a related party or subsidiary) and a Director (or related party of the Director);

  • a change in accounting policy adopted by Juno;

  • a proposal to change Juno’s auditors; and

  • the health or capacity of any Director.

6. INSIDER TRADING POLICY

The confidentiality of Material Non-Public Information must be strictly maintained within Juno by all persons who have access to that information, regardless of title or position. No Personnel shall disclose such information, except on a need-to-know basis, inside or outside of Juno.

7. PERSONNEL IN POSSESSION OF MATERIAL NON-PUBLIC INFORMATION
