Australian Rare Earths Director Updates Equity Holdings After Option Lapse

Australian Rare Earths Limited ( (AU:AR3) ) has issued an announcement.

Australian Rare Earths Limited has reported a change in director Angus Jack Rutherford Barker’s interests, following the lapse of 500,000 unlisted options with an exercise price of $0.47 that were due to expire on 28 February 2026. Barker continues to hold 573,087 ordinary shares directly and 4,000,000 ordinary shares indirectly, along with a suite of remaining unlisted options at various exercise prices and maturities, indicating an ongoing significant equity exposure despite the option expiry.

The indirect holdings are managed through Mutual Trust Pty Limited on behalf of Trouville Pty Ltd as trustee for the Esmerelda Trust, of which Barker is a beneficiary. The change reflects routine equity-structure adjustments rather than a disposal of ordinary shares, and signals that the director retains substantial alignment with shareholders through his remaining share and option positions.

The most recent analyst rating on (AU:AR3) stock is a Hold with a A$0.17 price target. To see the full list of analyst forecasts on Australian Rare Earths Limited stock, see the AU:AR3 Stock Forecast page.
