ASX Limited has filed an Initial Director’s Interest Notice with the Australian Securities and Investments Commission, revealing the appointment of Anthony Davy Attia as a director effective September 1, 2026. The filing, released through the ASX Market Announcements Office, discloses Attia’s compensation structure tied to a $6.3 million Replacement Award in restricted shares under the company’s Deferred Equity Plan.

  • Appointment Date: September 1, 2026
  • Total Award Value: $6,300,000
  • Total Shares Granted: 112,684 restricted shares
  • Calculation Basis: Volume-weighted average price of $55.9084 over 5 business days before the start date
  • Vesting Schedule: Three tranches vesting after 1H27, FY27, and FY28 financial results release

The restricted shares are divided into three tranches with face values of $2 million, $3.58 million, and $720,000 respectively, translating to 35,772, 64,033, and 12,879 shares per tranche. The award recognizes incentives Attia forewent upon ceasing his previous employment. Notably, Attia holds no direct securities in ASX Limited at the time of his appointment, with all interests limited to the restricted share grants outlined in his employment agreement.

The vesting structure ties share release to ASX’s financial reporting calendar, with the first tranche unlocking following the release of first-half 2027 results, the second following full-year 2027 results, and the final tranche after full-year 2028 results. This arrangement aligns Attia’s equity compensation with company performance milestones. The disclosure was authorized by Johanna O’Rourke, ASX’s Company Secretary, and filed in compliance with the Corporations Act section 205G and ASX Listing Rule 3.19A.1.
