Compliance Framework
The Code of Practices and Procedures for Fair Disclosure aims to establish a defined framework for the uniform and transparent dissemination of unpublished price-sensitive information (UPSI). The objective is to maintain fairness in dealings with all stakeholders and prevent the misuse of confidential information that could impact price discovery.
Key principles outlined in the code include:
- Prompt public disclosure of UPSI once credible and concrete information is available.
- Uniform dissemination to avoid selective disclosure to any specific group.
- Handling of UPSI on a strict need-to-know basis among company officials.
- Ensuring that information shared with analysts and research personnel is not UPSI or is simultaneously made public.
Key Designations and Responsibilities
The Board of Directors has designated the Company Secretary as the Chief Compliance Officer (CCO) and the Chief Financial Officer as the Chief Investor Relations Officer (CIRO). These officers are responsible for overseeing the disclosure of UPSI to stock exchanges, shareholders, analysts, and media.
The CCO is tasked with ensuring compliance under the code, coordinating disclosures, and educating employees on disclosure policies. Any non-public information received by an employee must be immediately reported to the CCO or CIRO. In cases where information is accidentally disclosed without prior approval, the responsible person must inform the compliance officers immediately.
Legitimate Purposes Policy
The filing includes a Policy for Determination of Legitimate Purposes, prepared in accordance with Regulation 3(2A) of the Insider Trading Regulations. This policy identifies exceptions for procuring UPSI for the performance of duties or discharge of legal obligations.
Factors considered to determine if a purpose is legitimate include:
- Whether sharing is in the ordinary course of business.
- Whether the sharing is in the best interests of the company or furthers a genuine commercial purpose.
- Whether the information is required to discharge legal or contractual obligations.
- Whether the nature of the information is commensurate with the purpose.
The policy defines legitimate recipients as partners, auditors, legal advisors, merchant bankers, collaborators, lenders, customers, suppliers, insolvency professionals, and other advisors. A structured digital database will be maintained to record the sharing of UPSI, preserved for at least eight years after the completion of relevant transactions.
