About Australian Securities Exchange.
Australian Securities Exchange is the principal cash-equity venue of Australia. Founded in 1987 (merger; predecessor exchanges from 1861), it operates under the oversight of Australian Securities and Investments Commission (ASIC), and its leading benchmarks are S&P/ASX 200, S&P/ASX 50, All Ordinaries. Listing standards are set out in the ASX Listing Rules; Corporations Act 2001 (Cth).
Australia’s principal equity venue, distinctively concentrated in resources, financials, and REITs. The Australian takeover regime, including the so-called "creep rule" for substantial holders, interacts with collateralised positions in ways that warrant careful structuring.
What qualifies on ASX.
ASX ranks among the deepest equity pools anywhere; eligibility turns on the stock itself — its free float, daily traded volume, and how concentrated the line is.
For any given ASX position, our review looks at: free float and daily traded volume against the size of the transaction; your status (controlling shareholder, director, substantial shareholder) and the disclosure that follows; the issuer’s sector and listing segment; and what the transaction must do (LTV, tenor, currency, recourse, custody).
Framework cited on ASX.
The principal regulatory reference on ASX is Corporations Act Section 671B. How it applies to any single transaction — reporting levels, step thresholds — turns on the underlying rules and national-law overlays, which we map against your contemplated transaction at the structuring stage alongside the counsel you appoint.
The citations above are public regulatory references, given for orientation only and not as legal advice. Take independent legal advice in the relevant jurisdiction for any specific transaction.
