ASX query re Appendix 3Ys – Change of Directors’ Interests

We refer to your letter dated 10 July 2023. Platinum Asset Management Limited (PTM) responds to the questions raised in that letter as follows:

1. Please explain why the Appendix 3Ys were lodged late.

The Appendix 3Ys for Andrew Stannard and Elizabeth Norman were lodged 1 business day late due to an administrative oversight. The administrative oversight arose due to the fact that for each of Andrew Stannard and Elizabeth Norman, PTMAA deferred rights and PTMAB performance rights under PTM’s employee incentive schemes were acquired and disposed of on 29 June 2023 and 30 June 2023, respectively. For the purposes of calculating the 5 business days required under ASX LR 3.19A.2, the later date of 30 June 2023 (rather than the earlier date of 29 June 2023) was used.

2. What arrangements does PTM 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?

PTM confirms that this was an isolated incident due to an administrative oversight.

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

PTM confirms that this was an isolated incident due to an administrative oversight. Should a similar fact pattern arise in the future, PTM shall ensure that the earlier date is used for the purposes of calculating the 5 business days required under ASX LR 3.19A.2.

Dear Ms Jefferies

Platinum Asset Management Limited (‘PTM’): Appendix 3Y – Change of Director’s Interest Notice Query

ASX refers to the following:

  1. PTM’s Appendix 3Y’s lodged on the ASX Market Announcements Platform (‘MAP’) on 7 July 2023 (‘The Notices’) for Ms Elizabeth Norman and Mr Andrew Stannard.

  2. 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.’

  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 indicate that a change in Ms Normans and Mr Stannard’s notifiable interests occurred on 29 June 2023. It appears that the Notices should have been lodged with ASX by 6 July 2023. Consequently, PTM may have breached Listing Rules 3.19A and/or 3.19B.
