Black Canyon Blames Admin Error for Late Director Trade Notice, Pledges Tighter Checks

An update from Black Canyon Limited ( (AU:BCA) ) is now available.

Black Canyon Limited has acknowledged that a recent Appendix 3Y, disclosing a change in director Brendan Cummins’s notifiable interest, was lodged late due to an administrative oversight during a busy period of unlisted options being exercised and lapsing. The company told the ASX it believes its existing Continuous Disclosure and Trading Policies, and its arrangements with directors under Listing Rules 3.19A and 3.19B, remain adequate and enforced, but it will implement additional checks of allotment registers before share registry processing to strengthen compliance following the query over a possible breach of reporting obligations.

In correspondence with the ASX, Black Canyon noted that its company secretary understands the five-business-day deadline for lodging director interest changes and stressed that the delay did not reflect a systemic failure of its policies. The board has authorised the response, which comes after the ASX raised concerns that the timing of the Cummins notice suggested potential breaches of ASX Listing Rules and related Corporations Act requirements, highlighting ongoing regulatory scrutiny of timely disclosure of director dealings on the Australian market.

The most recent analyst rating on (AU:BCA) stock is a Hold with a A$0.28 price target. To see the full list of analyst forecasts on Black Canyon Limited stock, see the AU:BCA Stock Forecast page.
