Share Trading Policy
This policy relates to all employees of Fox Resources Limited and Fox Radio Hill Pty Ltd. For the purposes of this policy references to Fox Resources include Radio Hill Pty Ltd and all subsidiaries existing at the time.
Insider tradingInsider trading is the practice of dealing in a company’s securities (i.e. shares or options) by a person with some connection with a company (e.g. an employee) in possession of information generally not available to the public, but may be relevant to the value of the Company’s securities (i.e. unpublished price-sensitive information). It may also include the passing on of this information to another. Legally, insider trading is an offence which carries severe penalties, including imprisonment. Directors, officers and employees of Fox Resources must not, whether in their own capacity or as an agent for another, subscribe for, purchase or sell, or enter into an agreement to subscribe for, purchase or sell, any securities (i.e. shares or options) in the Company its Subsidiaries or related Companies, or procure another person to do so:
Further, Directors, officers and employees must not either directly or indirectly pass on this kind of information to another person if they know, or ought reasonably to know, that this other person is likely to deal in the securities of the Company its Subsidiaries or related Companies or procure another person to do so. The prohibition on insider trading applies not only to information concerning the Company’s securities. If a person has inside information in relation to securities of another company, that person must not deal in those securities. Similar legislation exists in all jurisdictions where the Company’s securities are traded. This policy does not contain an exhaustive analysis of the restrictions imposed on, and the very serious legal ramifications of, insider trading. Directors, officers and employees who wish to obtain further advice in this matter, are encouraged to contact the Company Secretary. Blackout periodsIn addition to the overriding prohibition against dealing in the Company’s securities when a person is in possession of inside information, Directors, officers and employees and their associated parties are at all times prohibited from dealing in the Company’s securities during the prescribed “blackout” periods. These blackout periods are two weeks immediately leading up to and including each of the following days:
The blackout period is four weeks immediately leading up to and including the day full year results are announced, plus the day after. The “blackout” periods may be varied by the Board of Directors and circulated, with appropriate notice, to all Directors, officers and employees. Associated parties – all Directors, officers and employees have a personal responsibility to ensure that his or her “associated parties” (being immediate family (including a spouse (or equivalent) or dependent), family company or trust) complies with the same respective restrictions as apply to them. The insider trading and “blackout” period provisions will not usually apply to the exercise of employee/executive options or entitlement offers. Dependant on the circumstances at the time, any potential application of the provisions will be advised in response to a notice to exercise options. The policy does apply, however, to any sale of Company securities acquired on the exercise of options, including sales as part of a broker-assisted cashless exercise of an option, or any other market sale for the purpose of generating the cash needed to pay the exercise price of an option. Hedging of “in money” rights prohibitedIn addition, this policy prohibits the hedging of share rights granted as incentives under rights plans. This relates to both vested and unvested rights. Prohibited hedging practices include put/call arrangements over “in money” rights to hedge against a future drop in share price. |
