RE:
|
PRICE
QUERY
|
We
have
noted a change in the price of the Company’s securities from a close of $3.81 on
16 March 2006 to a low of $3.34 at the time of writing today. We have also
noted
an increase in the volume of trading in the securities over this
period.
In
light
of the price change and increase in volume, please respond to each of the
following questions.
|
1.
|
Is
the Company aware of any information concerning it that has not
been
announced which, if known, could be an explanation for recent trading
in
the securities of the Company?
|
|
2.
|
If
the answer to question 1 is yes, can an announcement be made immediately?
If not, why not and when is it expected that an announcement will
be
made?
|
Please
note, if the answer to question 1 is yes and an announcement cannot be made
immediately, you need to contact us to discuss this and you need to consider
a
trading halt (see below).
|
3.
|
Is
there any other explanation that the Company may have for the price
change
and increase in volume in the securities of the
Company?
|
|
4.
|
Please
confirm that the Company is in compliance with the listing rules
and, in
particular, listing rule 3.1.
|
Your
response should be sent to me by e-mail at kim-ly.nguyen@asx.com.au
or by
facsimile on facsimile number (02) 9241 7620. It should not
be sent
to the Company Announcements Office.
Unless
the information is required immediately under listing rule 3.1, 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. E.D.S.T) on Thursday, 23
March
2006.
Under
listing rule 18.7A, a copy of this query and your response will be released
to
the market, so your response should be in a suitable form and separately
address
each of the questions asked. If you have any queries or concerns, please
contact
me immediately.
Listing
rule 3.1
Listing
rule 3.1 requires an entity to give ASX immediately any information concerning
it that a reasonable person would expect to have a material effect on the
price
or value of the entity’s securities. The exceptions to this requirement are set
out in listing rule 3.1A.
In
responding to this letter you should consult listing rule 3.1 and Guidance
Note
8 —
Continuous
Disclosure: listing rule 3.1.
If
the
information requested by this letter is information required to be given
to ASX
under listing rule 3.1 your obligation is to disclose the information
immediately.
Your
responsibility under listing rule 3.1 is not confined to, or necessarily
satisfied by, answering the questions set out in this letter.
Trading
halt
If
you
are unable to respond by the time requested, or if the answer to question
1 is
yes and an announcement cannot be made immediately, you should consider a
request for a trading halt in the Company’s securities. As set out in listing
rule 17.1 and Guidance Note 16 —
Trading
Halts we
may
grant a trading halt at your request. We may require the request to be in
writing. We are not required to act on your request. You must tell us each
of
the following.
•
The
reasons for the trading halt.
|
•
|
How
long you want the trading halt to
last.
|
|
•
|
The
event you expect to happen that will end the trading
halt.
|
|
•
|
That
you are not aware of any reason why the trading halt should not
be
granted.
|
|
•
|
Any
other information necessary to inform the market about the trading
halt,
or that we ask for.
|
The
trading halt cannot extend past the commencement of normal trading on the
second
day after the day on which it is granted. If a trading halt is requested
and
granted and you are still unable to reply to this letter before the commencement
of trading, suspension from quotation would normally be imposed by us from
the
commencement of trading if not previously requested by you. The same applies
if
you have requested a trading halt because you are unable to release information
to the market, and are still unable to do so before the commencement of
trading.
If
you
have any queries regarding any of the above, please let me know.
Yours
sincerely,
/s/
