Appropriate Communication & Disclosure
PMP requires its officers and employees to act at all times with integrity and in accordance with the law, including the disclosure requirements of the ASX Listing Rules, ASX Guidance Notes, the ASX Corporate Governance Council Recommendations and the Corporations Act. During the 2009 financial year, PMP had a Disclosure Committee comprising the CEO, CFO and Company Secretary, which met as and when required.
Disclosure and Shareholder Communication Policy
PMP's Disclosure Policy requires any price sensitive information concerning PMP to be disclosed to the market and to be communicated to the ASX before any other person. The policy prevents selective disclosure by: ensuring only authorised spokespeople comment on behalf of PMP; providing a process for issuing any external statement or press release; and providing clear guidelines for handling small group or individual briefings. It also sets out protocols for handling trading halts, responding to market speculation and avoiding inadvertent disclosure. The policy ensures shareholders can make informed decisions about their investment in PMP by providing them with:
- the annual and half year reports;
- disclosures made to ASX;
- notices and explanatory memoranda of General Meetings;
- the AGM, where the external auditor will be available to answer questions about
the audit;
- occasional letters from the Chairman; and
- our website www.pmplimited.com.au
