The Panel, Martin Alciaturi, Braddon Jolley (sitting President) and Alastair Lucas, made a declaration of unacceptable circumstances in relation to the affairs of DataDot. The Panel concluded that all reasonable steps to minimise the potential control effect of the rights issue on DataDot had not been taken, and that once the rights issue was completed there was a material control effect. The Panel also concluded that disclosures in the rights issue letter of offer and substantial holding notices lodged by TM Consulting and Bannaby Investments were inadequate and misleading.
