Reasons why Dog’s email is fake:

1. From the ASIC website: The integrity and efficiency of our financial markets depends on all investors having access to market-sensitive information about listed entities at the same time. Leakage of information prior to market announcement can lead to continuous disclosure problems, insider trading and an undermining of investor confidence. It can also pose threats to the outcome of corporate transactions.

2. Per point 1, Managing Directors of listed companies don’t email individual retail shareholders with market sensitive information and updates. The fake email suggests a reinterpretation of Youanmi - that is hugely sensitive.

3. As much as Alex Passmore ‘lights up’ talking about Youanmi, he won’t risk sanction or prosecution - punishment could range from a fine to being banned from acting as a director of a company. Sorry Dog, but I’m pretty sure AP values his employment more than he values keeping retail shareholders informed.

4. Why did AP disregard ASIC guidelines to provide an email and telephone call about company operations to one lucky retail shareholder? We know from other posts that multiple emails and calls have gone unanswered, but somehow Dog got both an email and a call..? You are one lucky dog!

5. A 13 year old with basic Microsoft Outlook skills can fake a signature block to create what appears to be an email from Alex Passmore, Donald Trump or Queen Elizabeth. To get started, Google search images for the company logo or seal, save the logo as a gif or jpg file, and then follow the steps to create a new signature block.

6. The fake email has been created to appear as though it comes from the mailbox of Alex Passmore’s Executive Assistant (EA). The way shared mailbox’s actually work is that the EA can view their bosses email to filter correspondence, and can manage the Exec’s calendar, but when replying, they don’t send an email themselves that would include their bosses signature block. When an EA sends an email from their own address (as this fake suggests) it would then include their own email address and signature block.

7. Alex Passmore would not allow an Executive Assistant to respond to a shareholder on behalf of the company with market sensitive information. If you work in a listed company and perform a public facing role you need to complete annual compliance training. Alex’s Executive Assistant would know that she’s risking prosecution in sending that email. If Alex Passmore did actually write this and does support the release of sensitive information then we are all in trouble.

You are responsible for what you post on HC. Dog has opened himself/herself up to prosecution for passing on market sensitive information, or potentially criminal charges for faking correspondence. If this is a fake then Alex Passmore could even personally sue Dog.

Remember the X-Files motto - ‘I want to believe’. As a shareholder I want to believe, but this is just so obviously bogus.

GLTAH and an extra good luck to you Dog in avoiding prosecution for your juvenile handiwork.
