Since 10 March 2025, I’ve formally requested a full copy of the CHM shareregister under Section 173 of the Corporations Act 2001 (Cth). To date, theCompany has failed to comply. Despite being legally obliged to provide theregister in full digital format, Chimeric has only issued a partial hard copyand has refused to include shareholder email addresses in the full register request.
This is inconsistent with Corporations Regulations 2C.1.02, whichrequire the register to be provided in a format that allows data extraction(i.e. CSV or delimited format) and copied onto a CD-ROM or USB portable memory device. Theirrefusal to include email addresses contradicts Lawrence v Melbourne FootballClub Ltd [2022] VSC 658, which confirmed that if a shareholder has nominatedemail as their communication method, then their email address forms part oftheir “address” in the register.
I'm now considering applying to the Federal Court to compel disclosureunder Section 247A of the Corporations Act. The application fee is $1,695.
Before applying to the Court, I want to gauge shareholder support viathis forum. If there’s clear shareholder consensus and support for change, I’llproceed with the court application and begin contacting fellow shareholdersregarding potential changes to the Board.
The seriousness of this situation is highlighted in the summary table ofalleged breaches I compiled, including potential violations of:
- Sections 173, 180, 181, 182, 183, 674 of the Corporations Act;
- ASX Listing Rule 3.1.
The lack of transparency, potential market misconduct, and consistentunderperformance have already eroded investor confidence. The limitedparticipation in recent capital raises — both from sophisticated investors andretail holders — suggests deep concern.
If shareholders remain passive, Chimeric may follow the same pattern asother companies tied to Paul Hopper, where shareholder value has been destroyeddue to poor governance and a lack of accountability.
Let me know your thoughts please.
