An announcement from Xref Ltd ( (AU:XF1) ) is now available.
Xref Limited has disclosed that it inadvertently breached ASX Listing Rule 10.14 by issuing unlisted options to directors Jon Newbery and Jake Phillpot under its Employee Incentive Plan before receiving required shareholder approval. The options, totaling 900,000 for each director, were granted in March 2025 but were only approved by shareholders at the November 2025 AGM and later reported in the company’s annual filings.
After identifying the issue during a review of its option register, the company notified the ASX and agreed remedial steps that include cancelling the options for no consideration, with both directors waiving any benefit. Xref also acknowledged a separate breach of ASX Listing Rule 3.19A for failing to lodge timely Appendix 3Y notices and will now file corrective disclosures and strengthen internal controls and oversight around equity incentive administration and directors’ interest notifications.
The most recent analyst rating on (AU:XF1) stock is a Hold with a A$0.09 price target. To see the full list of analyst forecasts on Xref Ltd stock, see the AU:XF1 Stock Forecast page.
