Dear Andia,
Re: Late Lodgement on Appendix 3Y – Change of Director’s Interest Notice
We understand the Appendix 3Y – Change of Director’s Interest Notice lodged before market opened on Wednesday 27[th] July 2016 had a due date for lodgment by close of business Friday 22[nd] July 2016, as per ASX Listing Rules.
In response to the three questions asked within the ASX letter received 27 July 2016:
1. Explanation of why the Director’s Notice was lodged late
Information of this trade was not provided to the Company Secretary until after the due date of the Appendix 3Y.
- Details of Arrangements LaserBond has in place under Listing Rule 3.19B with its Directors to ensure we are able to meet disclosure obligations under Listing rule 3.19A
The LaserBond Securities Trading Policy requires when a Director trades in LaserBond shares they are to provide the Company Secretary details within three days of the trade. This time period seeks to ensure all Appendix 3Y’s are lodged within the 5 business days as per the ASX Listing Rules.
- Additional steps LaserBond intends to take to ensure compliance with Listing Rule 3.19B
The Board has been made aware of the late lodgment caused by late receipt of details of the trade by the Director, and reminded of the requirements of the Securities Trading Policy. Further, this will be reinforced at the next Board Meeting in August 2016.
Any further queries please do not hesitate to contact the Company on 02 4631 4500.

Dear Mr Twist
LASERBOND LIMITED (the “Entity”): Appendix 3Y – Change of Director’s Interest Notice
We refer to the following:
-
The Appendix 3Y lodged by the Entity with ASX on 27 July 2016 for Mr Allan Morton (the “Director’s 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 as follows.
20 Bridge Street www.asx.com.au Sydney NSW 2000 Customer service 13 12 79
ASX Compliance Pty Limited ABN 26 087 780 489
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 Director’s Notice indicates that a change in the director’s notifiable interest occurred on Friday 15 July 2016. It appears that the Director’s Notice should have been lodged with ASX by Friday 22 July 2016. Consequently, the Entity may be in breach of listing rules 3.19A and/or 3.19B. It also appears the director concerned may have breached section 205G of the Corporations Act.
Please note that ASX is required to record details of breaches of the listing rules by listed entities for its reporting requirements.
ASX reminds the Entity of its contract with ASX to comply with the listing rules. In the circumstances ASX considers that it is appropriate that the Entity make necessary arrangements to ensure there is not a reoccurrence of a breach of the listing rules.
Having regard to listing rules 3.19A and 3.19B and Guidance Note 22: Director Disclosure of Interests and Transactions in Securities - Obligations of Listed Entities , under listing rule 18.7 we ask that you answer each of the following questions.
-
Please explain why the Director’s Notice was lodged late.
-
What arrangements does the Entity 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?
- 3 If the current arrangements are inadequate or not being enforced, what additional steps does the Entity intend to take to ensure compliance with listing rule 3.19B?
Your response should be sent to me by e-mail. It should not be sent to the ASX Market Announcements Office.
A response is requested as soon as possible and, in any event, not later than half an hour before the start of trading (ie before 9.30 a.m. AEST) on Monday 1 August 2016 .
Under listing rule 18.7A, a copy of this letter and your response will be released to the market, so your response should be in a form suitable for release and must separately address each of the questions asked.
If you have any queries or concerns about any of the above, please contact me immediately.
Yours sincerely
