Castile Resources Moves to Fix ASX Listing Rule Breach With Governance Overhaul

Castile Resources Ltd ( (AU:CST) ) has shared an update.

Castile Resources has disclosed that it inadvertently breached ASX Listing Rule 10.11 by issuing 5,909,091 placement shares to Ajava Holdings, an entity controlled by former director Peter Cook, within six months of his resignation. Under the Corporations Act and ASX rules, Mr. Cook remained a related party during this period, making the February 16 share issue non-compliant.

To remedy the breach, Castile and Ajava have agreed that the shares will be bought back and cancelled at the original issue price, subject to shareholder approval, with a voluntary holding lock imposed until the process is completed. If shareholders do not approve the buy-back, the company will sell the shares on-market and donate any profit to charity, while separately seeking shareholder approval to reissue the same number of shares to Ajava on proper terms.

The company is also tightening its governance, committing to a comprehensive review of its related party identification and security issuance procedures. Planned measures include a more detailed related party register and a board-led governance review with legal advisors, aimed at preventing similar compliance oversights and reinforcing market confidence in its capital-raising practices.
