15-253MR Waratah Resources executive chairman charged with misleading the market

Waratah Resources Limited's executive chairman has been charged with offences under the Corporations Act for allegedly issuing false information to the market and assisting the company to breach its continuous disclosure obligations.
Represented in Sydney's Downing Centre local court today, Benjamin David Kirkpatrick has been charged with knowingly authorising false or misleading information relating to Waratah Resources being made available to the Australian Securities Exchange (ASX).
Mr Kirkpatrick, 44, of Tamarama, has also been charged with aiding and abetting Waratah Resources in its failure to promptly notify the ASX of material information relating to the shares of Waratah Resources in accordance with its continuous disclosure obligations.
The conduct relates to a company announcement on 14 October 2013 asserting that Waratah Resources had established a $100 million trade finance facility with the Bank of China when no such facility had been established or agreed upon. ASIC further alleges that between 14 and 25 October 2013, Mr Kirkpatrick failed to correct this announcement, thereby causing Waratah Resources to breach its continuous disclosure obligations.
The matter was adjourned until 10 November 2015.
The Commonwealth Director of Public Prosecutions is prosecuting this matter.
Background
