Trading policy
Amaero Ltd ACN 633 541 634 (Company)
Adopted by the Board on 26 November 2025
Amaero Limited | Trading policy 2
1 Purpose and scope
1.1 Which trading?
Company securities
This policy summarises the law prohibiting insider trading and sets out the Company’s
trading policy on buying and selling Company securities.
Securities of other entities
The prohibition on insider trading also applies to the securities of other entities if you
possess Inside Information about those entities.
The Company Secretary or Chairman may also extend this policy by specifying that
Designated Persons are restricted from dealing in the securities of other specified entities
with which the Company may have a relationship.
Terms used in this policy are defined in the glossary in schedule1.
1.2 Who does this policy apply to?
This policy applies to:
Who? Which sections?
Everyone - including all employees,
contractors, family and associates
section 2 (Insider Trading Prohibition) and
section 7 (Confidential Information)
Designated Persons i.e.,
all directors, officers and other Key
Management Personnel and employees of
the Company and any other person
designated by the Company Secretary or
Chairman
The whole Trading Policy
Associates of Designated Persons (i.e.,
family and closely connected persons and
entities) - see the glossary for more
information
See section 1.3
1.3 Associates
This policy also applies to Associates of Designated Persons, except that sections 5.1 to 5.3
regarding prior notification, confirmation and notification of dealing apply as appropriate to
the circumstances. If relevant, a Designated Person must:
(a) inform their Associates about this policy; and
(b) communicate on behalf of their Associates with the Notification Officer for the
purposes of this policy.
If you are in doubt as to whether a person is an Associate and the application of this policy
to them, you should contact the Company Secretary or Chairman who will make a
determination on the issue.
1.4 Rationale for this policy
Under Australian corporations’ legislation, the insider trading laws operate to prohibit people
in possession of non-public price-sensitive information from dealing in securities or passing
on the information to people who may deal in securities.
This policy is intended to:
(a) ensure that all directors, employees and contractors of the Company (and their
Associates) are aware of the insider trading laws as they apply to trading in Company
securities; and
Amaero Limited | Trading policy 3
(b) protect the reputation of the Company and its directors and officers by seeking to avoid
the possibility that misconceptions, misunderstandings or suspicions might arise as a
result of trading by directors and others who may be, or be perceived to be, in
possession of Inside Information. This policy seeks to do so by imposing additional
restrictions on the trading of securities by Designated Persons.
2 Insider Trading Prohibition – Corporations Act
2.1 What is the Insider Trading Prohibition?
Under the Corporations Act, if you have Inside Information (as defined in section 2.2 below)
relating to the Company it is illegal for you to:
(a) deal in (that is, apply for, acquire or dispose of) Company securities or enter into an
agreement to do so; or
(b) procure another person to apply for, acquire or dispose of Company securitiesor
enter into an agreement to do so; or
(c) directly or indirectly communicate, or cause to be communicated, that information to
any other person if you know, or ought reasonably to know, that the person would or
would be likely to use the information to engage in the activities specified in
paragraphs (a) or (b) above.
Options are included
It is also illegal to apply for, grant, exercise or transfer an option over Company securities if
you have Inside Information relating to the Company.
Other organisations’ securities
It is also illegal to trade in the securities of other entities if you have Inside Information about
those entities. This includes suppliers, contractors and customers.
Any capacity
It does not matter how or in what capacity you become aware of the Inside Information. It
does not have to be obtained from the Company to constitute Inside Information.
No giving “tips”
You cannot avoid the Insider Trading Prohibition by arranging for a family member or friend
to deal in Company securities, nor may you give “tips” concerning Inside Information relating
to the Company to others.
WARNING: The Insider Trading Prohibition applies to everyone (not just Designated
Persons) and applies at all times.
2.2 What is insider trading
“Inside Information” is information relating to the Company which is not generally available
but, if the information were generally available, would be likely to have a material effect on
the price or value of Company securities. Inside Information can include matters of
speculation or supposition and matters relating to intentions or likely intentions of aperson.
Information is regarded as being likely to have a material effect if it would, or would be likely
to, influence persons who commonly invest in securities or other traded financial products in
deciding whether or not to deal in Company securities.
Examples of Inside Information could be:
(a) the financial performance of the Company;
(b) changes in the Company’s actual or anticipated financial condition or business
performance;
(c) changes in the capital structure of the Company, including proposals to raise
additional equity or increase debt;
Amaero Limited | Trading policy 4
(d) proposed changes in the nature of the business of theCompany;
(e) an event which could have a material impact (either positively or negatively)on
profits (for example, a significant safety or environmental incident);
(f) changes to the Board of Directors or significant changes in Key Management
Personnel;
(g) an undisclosed significant change in the Company’s marketshare;
(h) likely or actual entry into, or loss of, a materialcontract;
(i) material acquisitions or sales of assets by the Company;
(j) a proposed dividend or other distribution or a change in dividend policy;or
(k) a material claim against the Company or other unexpectedliability.
2.3 When is information generally available?
Information is generally available if:
(a) it consists of readily observable matter or deductions;
(b) it has been brought to the attention of investors through an announcement to ASX
or otherwise similarly brought to the attention of investors who commonly invest in
securities, and a reasonable period has elapsed since it was announced or brought
to investors’ attention; or
(c) it consists of deductions, conclusions or inferences made or drawn from information
referred to in paragraphs (a) or (b) above.
Examples of possible readily observable mattersare:
(d) a change in legislation which will affect the Company’s ability to make certain types
of investments; or
(e) a severe downturn in global securities markets.
2.4 Penalties
As well as reputational damage for both you and the Company, if you break the insider
trading laws, you may be subjected to serious legal consequences including:
(a) criminal penalties for a conviction include heavy fines andimprisonment;
(b) civil liability - you can be sued by another party or the Company for loss they suffer
as a result of your illegal trading;
(c) civil penalty provisions - the Australian Securities and Investments Commission
(ASIC) may seek civil penalties against you and may even seek a court order that
you be disqualified from managing a corporation; and
(d) disciplinary action including dismissal - if you breach the law, this policy, or both, we
will regard it as serious misconduct which may lead to disciplinary action including
dismissal.
2.5 Insider trading is prohibited at all times
If you possess Inside Information, you must not buy or sell Company securities, adviseor
get others to do so or pass on the Inside Information to others. This prohibition applies
regardless of how you learn the information.
The prohibition on insider trading applies not only to information concerning Company
securities. If a person has Inside Information in relation to securities of another company,
that person must not deal in those securities.
