Trading Policy

This policy sets out the restrictions and procedures to be followed to ensure directors, key management personnel and employees

of the Navigator Global Investments Limited Group act in accordance with the law and in the best interests of shareholders if and when they trade in Navigator securities.

For personal use only

This Policy forms part of the Navigator Global Investments Limited Group's corporate governance policies, and is ancillary to the Director and Employee Codes of Conduct.

For the avoidance of doubt, this Policy operates only in relation to dealing in the securities of Navigator Global Investments Limited (ASX Code: NGI) (Navigator or Company). Other policies and procedures apply to relevant Navigator Group employees to ensure compliance with United States Securities Exchange Commission requirements.

1 Purpose of this policy

Directors and employees of a listed entity may have inside information about the entity (or its subsidiaries) that is not generally available to the market. A person who has inside information must not trade in the securities of that entity, either personally or through another person (such as a family member, friend, associate, broker, investment adviser, private company or trust).

This policy sets out clear restrictions in relation to dealing in Navigator securities, so that directors and employees do not deal in Navigator securities in a way that breaches insider trading laws or compromises confidence in Navigator's practices.

Every director and employee has a personal responsibility to ensure they comply with both the law and this policy. A breach of the law relating to insider trading can have serious consequences for the Company and for an individual.

2 Who does this policy apply to?

This policy applies to:

  • all directors, key management personnel ('KMP') and employees of the Navigator Group of companies located in Australia, the United States, the United Kingdom, Hong Kong or any other overseas office (Navigator Group);
  • family members and closely connected entities of directors, KMP and employees

A reference in this policy to employees of Navigator Group includes full time, part time or casual employees, consultants and contractors.

3 What are Navigator securities?

Navigator securities includes:

  • ordinary shares of Navigator (ASX Code: NGI)
  • any debenture or other structured financial product of Navigator
  • any convertible security over or in respect of an ordinary share of Navigator (including but not limited to performance rights or options)
  • any derivative over or in respect of an ordinary share of Navigator (including but not limited to options, contracts for difference, futures contracts, swaps and warrants)
  • any renounceable or unrenounceable right to subscribe for a share in, or debenture of, Navigator.

4 When can I trade in Navigator securities?

For personal use only

4.1 Insider trading prohibited at all times

A director, KMP or employee who has inside information must not:

  • deal in Navigator securities;
  • advise, procure or encourage another person to deal in Navigator securities; or
  • pass on inside information to any other person if they know, or ought reasonably to know, that the person may use the inside information to deal in (or advise, procure or encourage another person to trade in) Navigator securities.

Inside Information is information that:

  • a reasonable person would expect to have a material effect on the price or value of Navigator securities; AND
  • is not generally available.

Information is not generally available unless:

  1. it is readily observable; OR
  2. it has been made known in a manner which would be likely to bring the information to the attention of persons who commonly invest in Navigator securities (for example where the information has been brought to the attention of investors by an ASX announcement) and a reasonable period for that information to be disseminated to such people has elapsed; OR
  3. it has been deduced, concluded or inferred from information referred to in paragraph a) or b).

Types of information which may be price sensitive include:

  • financial results
  • internal financial budgets and forecasts
  • changes to the Navigator Board or senior employees
  • details of material contracts
  • a major acquisition or sale of assets
  • a takeover or merger transaction
  • capital transactions to be undertaken by the Company

The above list is not exhaustive, and Directors, KMP and employees must exercise their judgement when determining whether information they hold is likely to have a material effect on the price of Navigator securities.

4.2 During trading windows

Navigator's policy is to allow directors, KMP and employees to deal in Navigator securities without prior approval during specific periods, referred to as "trading windows".

These trading windows occur after specific events when Navigator has made disclosure to the Australian Securities Exchange regarding its financial and operating results.

Each trading window is open for a period of six weeks. If circumstances warrant, the Board may close a trading window early, or extend the period of the trading window. If this occurs, directors, KMP and employees will be notified via email.

4.2.1 When are trading windows open?

results of the Navigator Group

The Board may, at its discretion, open additional trading windows if they consider that this is appropriate. Should this occur, directors, KMP and employees will be notified via email by the Company Secretary or the Lighthouse Chief Compliance Officer.

The Board may, at its discretion, close a trading window early or impose additional dealing restrictions during any period (including a period that would otherwise fall within a permitted trading window). The Board may do so, for example, at a time when Navigator is considering matters which are subject to ASX Listing Rule 3.1A.

In exercising its discretion, the Board may determine that the early closure or additional dealing restrictions apply to specific directors, KMP and employees, or generally to all directors, KMP and employees.

4.2.2 What is the process for trading during a trading window?

Directors, KMP and employees do not need to obtain Pre-trade Clearance if they deal in Navigator securities during a trading window.

However, before dealing, Directors, KMP and employees must satisfy themselves that they are not in possession of any Inside Information, as a person who possesses Inside Information is generally prohibited in trading those securities under insider trading laws. If you are in any doubt, you should not trade. It is important to remember that the insider trading laws continue to apply whether or not a dealing occurs during a trading window.

Directors and KMP should notify the Company Secretary and Chairman 1 day prior to dealing.

The Chairman should notify the Chair of the Audit and Risk Committee and the Company Secretary 1 day prior to dealing.

Employees should notify the Company Secretary once have completed their deal.

For the avoidance of doubt, the above requirements also apply where the dealing is made by a family member or closely connected entity of the relevant person.

4.3 Outside trading windows

Directors, KMP and employees must not deal in Navigator securities outside of a trading window, except as may from time to time be permitted in accordance with this section 4.3.

In exceptional circumstances (such as financial hardship) a Director, KMP or employee may seek permission to deal in Navigator Securities outside of a trading window. They must obtain Pre-trade Clearance in writing before they (or their family member or closely connected entity) can deal in Navigator securities.
