Your still confused.

The missed deadline you seem to be hanging your arguement on simply relates to the change of custodian. The broker was unaware the custodian change required lodgement of a change of interest notice. Once the error was revealed a change of interest notice was belatedly lodged.

There is no conspiracy. This is not an indication of intention to buy or sell. The custodian of the shares was changed, that is all. If you were going to buy or sell & missed some deadline that prevented you doing so, you're not required nor would you lodge an announcement.
