What is a Low Volume Financial Market?

FHL is an unlisted public company. Our shares are not listed on any licensed market or exchange, such as the Australian Securities Exchange (“ASX”).

In order to provide shareholders with some liquidity for their shares, FHL has received approval from the Australian Securities and Investments Commission (“ASIC”) to operate a Low Volume Financial Market (“LVFM"). The LVFM operates under an exemption provided by section 791C of the Corporations Act 2001 and in accordance with the Corporations (Low Value Financial Markets) Instrument 2016/888.

General Rules

To comply with the Corporations (Low Volume Financial Markets) Instrument 2016/888, FHL will record the aggregate total number and total value of completed transactions conducted on the LVFM to ensure that no more than one hundred (100) transactions with a total value (calculated by reference to sale price) of not more than one million, five hundred thousand dollars ($1,500,000) are completed on the LVFM during a 12 month period commencing 25 June. Therefore, if a transaction would cause either the total number or total value of all transactions completed in a 12 month period commencing 25 June to exceed either of those limits, FHL will not approve the transaction or may suspend the LVFM until the start of the subsequent 12 month period. In such circumstances, interested Sellers and Buyers would have the option of waiting for the next 12 month period to complete transactions or independently finding a counterparty to transact with outside of the LVFM (i.e. a transaction of shares that is not on the Register of Interested Buyers and Sellers on the LVFM).

All share transactions must comply with FHL’s Constitution. In particular, selling shareholders must comply with the pre-emptive rights requirements under the Constitution prior to offering shares for sale on the LVFM. Further, share sale transactions on the LVFM will only be permitted where they are sold to approved and registered Buyers. The minimum purchase share parcel for Buyers is $10,000.

Buyer and the Seller are bound by FHL’s Constitution and the rules, terms and notices of the LVFM set out on the LVFM website and in the LVFM documents.

The matching and negotiation of any share sale transaction that occurs under the LVFM will take place between the Buyer and Seller without the involvement of FHL except for settlement services. Settled transactions will be registered by FHL’s Company Secretary.

Once the transaction has been added to the Members Register, the Company Secretary will then update the Register of Interested Buyers and Sellers on the LVFM.
