Dear Ms Tabakovic
Kaiser Reef Limited (‘KAU’): Appendix 3Y – Change of Director’s Interest Notice Query
ASX refers to the following:
-
KAU’s Appendix 3Y lodged on the ASX Market Announcements Platform (‘MAP’) on 17 February 2022 for Mr Stewart Howe (the ‘Notice’);
-
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.’
- 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 Mr Howe’s notifiable interest occurred on 8 February 2022. It appears that the Notice should have been lodged with ASX by 15 February 2022. Consequently, KAU may have breached Listing Rules 3.19A and/or 3.19B.
