3 Jul 2026 ASX LimitedASX: 20.5 million AUD for misleading announcement on CHESS replacement project €12.4m
The Federal Court of Australia, on application by the Australian Securities and Investments Commission (ASIC, Australia's corporate, markets and financial services regulator), imposed a penalty of 20.5 million AUD on the exchange operator because a market announcement of 10 February 2022 stated that the project to replace its CHESS clearing and settlement system was progressing well. About six weeks later ASX announced a likely delay and paused the project in November 2022; in June 2026 it admitted contraventions of ss 12DA and 12DB of the ASIC Act.
Progress updates on major projects must reflect the actual status, including known risks – and operators of critical market infrastructure are held to a particularly high standard.
