ASX RELEASE
22 November 2024
COMPLIANCE UPDATE – DISCLOSURE OF DIRECTORS’ INTERESTS
Sprintex Limited (ASX: SIX) ( Sprintex or the Company ) wishes to advise that, while preparing the notice of meeting for an upcoming annual general meeting, a number of inadvertent failures to notify the ASX regarding the issue of securities to the Company’s directors ( Directors ) under Listing Rules 3.19A and 3.19B have been identified.
The Company has been engaged in discussions with ASX regarding its failure to notify ASX of the security issues. By way of rectification of these failures, the Company provides the following information:
-
The Company has identified the following errors in respect of its notifications to ASX regarding the interests of the Directors:
-
(a) the Initial Director’s Interest Notice ( Appendix 3X ) for Li Chen incorrectly stated the number of Shares held by Lidx Technology Limited by 1,279,069 which meant the opening and closing balance of the shares has been incorrect on all Mr Chen’s Change of Director’s Interest Notices ( Appendix 3Ys ) that have been lodged.
-
(b) the following security transactions have not been disclosed in Appendix 3Ys:
| Director | Entity | Date | Acquired/Disposed | Securities | Comment |

| Apedaile Nominees Pty Ltd |
30/06/24 | Disposed | 2,500,000 Performance Rights |
Performance Rights expired on 30 June 2024 |
To rectify this matter, the Company has lodged rectifying Appendix 3Ys for each of the Directors as follows:
-
(a) including, as the opening balance, all securities owned by each Directors which have been previously disclosed in a corresponding Appendix 3Y for that Director;
-
(b) including, as acquisitions and disposals, any transaction which has not previously been disclosed as detailed in 1 (b) above; and
-
(c) for Li Chen, including as a disposal, the incorrect number of shares as stated in his Appendix 3X and commentary to explain the error.
-
The delay in lodging Appendix 3Ys occurred due to an inadvertent failure at the time of the issue of the securities detailed in 1(b) above to update ASX on each Directors' holdings. Specifically, at the time of these security issues, there was an oversight in ensuring that the necessary updates to the Directors' interests were promptly and accurately submitted to ASX. This was an unintentional error and was not a result of any deliberate action or disregard for the Company’s reporting obligations.
-
The Company has a policy requiring all Directors to notify the Company of any changes to their holdings or interests in securities, in accordance with the requirements of Listing Rule 3.19A. Additionally, Directors are regularly reminded of their obligations to provide timely updates of any changes to their holdings.
The Company maintains a centralised system to track and monitor such notifications and ensures that all necessary filings, including Appendix 3Ys, are lodged with ASX within the required timeframes. The process is designed to ensure that all disclosures are accurate, complete, and submitted promptly.
