Aussie_Boy...

I am not sure of the exact regulations (ASIC/ASX) in relation to declaring changes...but I imagine that the examples you have given would be basically correct. Stock lending provides a return to the lender eg. a fund manager or superfund of maybe 2%pa while the stock is lent. My understanding is that all of the rights and obligations would pass to the borrower during the currency of the "loan". But the stock does have to be repaid to the lender in terms of the agreement.
