The former chairperson of childcare provider G8 Education is facing charges including giving false information and dishonest use of her position in relation to an abandoned takeover bid launched by G8 in 2015.
The Australian Securities and Investments Commission brought 30 charges against Jennifer Joan Hutson, 50, of Red Hill in Queensland, in the Brisbane Magistrates' Court on Tuesday.
The charges follow an ASIC investigation into ASX-listed G8's bid for rival childcare firm Affinity Education in 2015.
Ms Hutson, who resigned as G8 chairperson in October, 2015, faces charges including dishonestly failing to exercise her powers and discharge her duties as a director, two counts of dishonest use of her position as a director, 15 counts of giving false or misleading information, and two counts of attempting to pervert the course of justice.
The charges have been listed for mention in the Brisbane Magistrates' Court on June 8, 2018.
G8 Education announced a $162 million takeover bid for the then-ASX-listed Affinity in July, 2015.
