Nexus Energy Limited 01

These are the Panel’s reasons for declining to commence proceedings in relation to an application that the slides from an investor presentation by Nexus Energy Ltd were false and misleading in the context of a takeover bid by Anzon Australia Ltd. The Panel considered that a clarification statement issued by Nexus, the fact that the Nexus target’s statement was due to be delivered within approximately a week, and an analysis of the information in the slides, meant that there was not sufficient basis to commence proceedings.
