Share register access bill introduced

By David Jacobson

ADVERTISEMENTS

The Minister for Financial Services, Superannuation and Corporate Law, Chris Bowen MP, has introduced the Corporations Amendment (No 1) Bill 2010 into Parliament.

The legislation requires anyone seeking a copy of a member register to state what their intended use for the information contained and enables companies to refuse to provide information if it is not sought for a proper purpose. Certain improper purposes - to be defined in associated Regulations - will include seeking access to a register for the purpose of making an unsolicited offer for shares in a listed company (other as part of a genuine takeover).

The legislation will also increase the penalties for market offences, such as insider trading and market manipulation.
