17. Stopping erroneous announcements from being released
Occasionally, someone will lodge a document in error with the MAO and will want to stop it being released to the
market. Any request in that regard should be made as quickly as possible to the MAO:
• if during MAO office hours, by telephone using the phone numbers for ‘Enquiries’ on page 12 below; or
• if outside MAO office hours, by email to [email protected], with a cc to [email protected].
If the lodging party is a listed entity, they should also notify their designated Listings Compliance adviser by phone
or email.
If a document lodged in error has already been released to the market, it generally will not be possible to have it
removed or replaced on MAP. Usually, the only course of action available at that point will be to lodge a corrective
announcement.
In the case of an erroneous online form announcement that has been released to the market the entity can correct
the information by way of an “update” to the original announcement or a “cancellation” of the original announcement
through the Status of Online Forms page in ASX Online. It is advisable to discuss the matter with ASX either by
contacting MAO or the entity’s Listings Compliance adviser prior to lodging an update or cancellation in such
circumstances.
