  • directly or indirectly communicating information to someone who they think might trade, enter into an agreement to trade or get another person to trade a company’s securities,

For the purposes of the legislation, it is irrelevant how a person comes into possession of Inside Information.

  • a material mineral discovery;

  • drilling or exploration results;

Relevant Persons must not Deal in the securities of the companies on such list unless the Company has confirmed the relevant Inside Information which it possessed has become generally available.

Relevant Persons must not release copies of this list or details of the companies which it names.

5.5 Questions

The Company Secretary must keep a record of all approvals given and confirmations of Dealing. All approved Dealings must occur within 1 week of the approval being granted unless otherwise specified.

Approval to Deal in Securities may be withdrawn if new information comes to light or there is a change in circumstances. A decision to withhold or withdraw approval is final and binding on the person seeking approval and must be kept confidential by the person seeking approval.

6.2 Closed Periods applicable to Key Management Personnel

Directors and Key Management Personnel must not Deal in Securities during the following periods ( Closed Periods ):

  • financial year: from the end of the Company’s financial year (i.e. 31 December) until close of normal trading on the first Trading Day after the announcement of the Company’s full year financial statements to the ASX;

6.5

No short term dealing

The Company encourages Relevant Persons to adopt a long-term attitude to their investment in Securities.

However, the sale of shares immediately after they have been acquired through the conversion of a Security (e.g. exercise of an option) will not be regarded as short-term trading.

6.7 No margin lending by Key Management Personnel

Key Management Personnel must not at any time enter into a transaction that involves using Securities as collateral in any financial transaction, including margin lending arrangements.

6.8 General exceptions

Subject to the insider trading provisions of the Corporations Act, Relevant Persons may at any time:

  • acquire ordinary shares in the Company by conversion of Securities giving right of a conversion to ordinary shares;

  • acquire Securities under a bonus issue made to all holders of Securities of the same class;

  • acquire Securities under a dividend reinvestment plan, a rights issue or a share purchase plan that is available to all holders of Securities of the same class;

  • acquire, or agree to acquire, Securities under an equity-based incentive plan operated by the Company;

  • exercise options acquired under a Company incentive plan and receive shares (but may not dispose of the resulting shares other than in accordance with these procedures);

  • transfer the Securities already held into a superannuation fund or other saving scheme of which the Relevant Person is a beneficiary;

  • invest in, or trade any unit of, a fund or other scheme where the assets of the fund or other scheme are invested at the discretion of a third party; and

  • accept a takeover offer or vote to approve a scheme of arrangement involving Securities.

6.9 Notifications by directors

A director must notify ASX within 5 Trading Days after any change in a director’s ‘relevant interest’ (for the purposes of the Corporations Act) in Securities.
