Key Petroleum Limited ( (AU:KEY) ) has provided an announcement.
Key Petroleum Limited has disclosed that a recent share placement temporarily lifted the voting power of substantial shareholder Ms Beibei Chen to about 20.28%, briefly breaching the 20% ownership threshold under the Corporations Act. The board stated the increase did not reflect a takeover attempt or change-of-control strategy and arose solely from the sequencing of share issues within its approved capital-raising program.
Following the subsequent issuance of the remaining 3% of its placement capacity to another investor on 1 May 2026, Ms Chen’s stake was diluted to roughly 19.76%, restoring compliance with the statutory limit. The company said the temporary exceedance has now been resolved with no ongoing impact on control or the shareholding structure, and it will continue monitoring substantial holdings to ensure adherence to Australian corporate and ASX listing rules.
