Given that HML sent the document to the ASX/ASIC for their approval (which is not their job anyway, no other company runs their documents past regulators before being issued), it's a bit ripe bagging them for not responding immediately. Most companies get their lawyer to prepare the document, the Board approves it and it's issued! But HML always pushes the boundaries too far, as does JBL.nsx. There was no on-market buy-back undertaken by JBL on the NSX exchange; no bid listed to buy shares at $2.05. The ASX asked this and got told HML "is not aware of the contents of the NSX trading records". Another smart-arse responses when the companies have common directors.
There's an old saying "those who can do, those who can't teach" - back to University lecturing Stuart and John McAuliffe because you're not hacking it in the real world.
