  • Telstra Group Limited (ACN 650 620 303) – ASX: TLS

Change of Director’s Interest Notice

Telstra Group Limited ( Telstra ) has recently become aware that Ms Elana Rubin holds an indirect interest in a total of 19,242 Telstra shares that were acquired on market between 10 August 2022 and 19 April 2024.

Those shares were acquired and are held through a Macquarie Separately Managed Account ( SMA ) held jointly by Ms Rubin and her partner. The SMA contains a portfolio of investments that are managed by Link Financial Services Pty Ltd ( LFS ) in accordance with a model portfolio it has established.

Ms Rubin has confirmed that:

  • the relevant Telstra shares (and the other investments held in the SMA) were acquired in line with the model portfolio and at the direction of LFS;

  • she had no involvement in the actual acquisitions of the relevant Telstra shares; and

  • she has no involvement in the acquisition/disposal of any shares in the LFS Equity account.

The relevant Telstra shares are held by Bond Street Custodians Limited as the custodian in relation to the SMA.

Indirect and incidental trading that occurs when a director deals in shares of a managed investment scheme, listed investment company, exchange-traded fund or similar investment vehicle that is managed by a third party and that happens to hold Telstra shares as part of its portfolio is classified as an “Excluded Dealing” for the purposes of Telstra’s securities trading policy. The obligations and restrictions relating to window periods, approvals, notifications and prohibited dealings set out in the policy do not apply. However, directors are required to notify the Telstra Company Secretary before dealing in reliance on that exclusion. As Ms Rubin was not aware of the trades at the time they occurred, she was unable to comply with the requirement to notify the Telstra Company Secretary and an Appendix 3Y was not given to ASX in respect of the trades. Upon Ms Rubin becoming aware of the trades, she notified the Telstra Company Secretary, and as a result, an updated Appendix 3Y reflecting the impact of those trades is now attached.

Telstra is satisfied that the failure to notify the Telstra Company Secretary of these trades was inadvertent, that Ms Rubin had no involvement in the investment decisions and that Ms Rubin disclosed the trades promptly upon becoming aware of them.

Telstra is also satisfied that Ms Rubin has put in place arrangements to prevent a recurrence.

Sue Laver Company Secretary
