The Corporations Act and the Listing Rules require that material price sensitive information be released to the market immediately it becomes known, unless it falls within an exception to the rule.
The Board’s policy is to comply with the letter and spirit of the relevant laws and regulations and to ensure that shareholders, and the markets generally, are informed of all material developments that impact on the Company; and that all disclosures made by the Company are clear, complete, objective and not misleading.
A detailed Disclosure Procedure exists to maintain the market integrity of the Company’s shares listed on the Australian Stock Exchange Limited (ASX). The Company has established written policies and procedures designed to manage the Company’s compliance with its continuous disclosure obligations and to assign management accountability for compliance.
The Chief Executive Officer has ultimate authority and responsibility for approving market disclosure, which in practice is exercised in consultation with the Company Secretary. All releases, including relevant external briefing and presentation materials, will be made available on the ASG website. The independent auditor reviews adherence to these procedures, and findings are reported directly to the Board Audit Committee.
