This notice, which comes into force on the day after the date of its notification in the Gazette, amends the Securities Act (Overseas Employee Share Purchase Schemes) Exemption Notice 2002 (the principal notice) to name Airclaims Group Holdings Limited (AGL) as a specified overseas issuer for the purposes of that notice.

The Securities Commission has adopted criteria for the naming of an overseas company as a specified overseas issuer. These are that the company should—

• be incorporated in a jurisdiction specified in Schedule 2 of the principal notice; and

• have in place arrangements for eligible shareholders to sell their shares, either through an alternative or internal market or through a repurchase facility, where the Commission considers the arrangements provide adequate liquidity for share-holders and adequate information to assist shareholders’ decision making.

The Commission considers it appropriate to name AGL as a specified overseas issuer because—

• AGL is incorporated in the United Kingdom, a jurisdiction named in Schedule 2 of the principal notice; and

• the Commission considers that the internal market and repurchase facilities put in place by AGL provide sufficient liquidity and information to adequately protect shareholders.
