Dear Ms Lawrie
Avecho Biotechnology Limited (‘AVE’): Price Query
ASX refers to the following:
A. The change in the price of AVE’s securities from a low of $0.014 at close of trade on 20/10/2026 to
a high of $0.019 today at the time of writing.
B. The significant increase in the volume of AVE’s securities traded today.
Request for information
In light of this, ASX asks AVE to respond separately to each of the following questions and requests for
information:
1. Is AVE aware of any information concerning it that has not been announced to the market which, if
known by some in the market, could explain the recent trading in its securities?
2. If the answer to question 1 is ‘yes’.
(a) Is AVE relying on Listing Rule 3.1A not to announce that information under Listing Rule 3.1?
Please note that the recent trading in AVE’s securities would suggest to ASX that such
information may have ceased to be confidential and therefore AVE may no longer be able to rely
on Listing Rule 3.1A. Accordingly, if the answer to this question is “yes”, you need to contact us
immediately to discuss the situation.
(b) Can an announcement be made immediately? Please note, if the answer to this question is ‘no’,
you need to contact us immediately to discuss requesting a trading halt (see below).
(c) If an announcement cannot be made immediately, why not and when is it expected that an
announcement will be made?
3. If the answer to question 1 is ‘no’, is there any other explanation that AVE may have for the recent
trading in its securities?
4. Please confirm that AVE is complying with the Listing Rules and, in particular, Listing Rule 3.1.
5. Please confirm that AVE’s responses to the questions above have been authorised and approved
under its published continuous disclosure policy or otherwise by its board or an officer of AVE with
delegated authority from the board to respond to ASX on disclosure matters.
When and where to send your response
This request is made under Listing Rule 18.7. Your response is required as soon as reasonably
possible and, in any event, by no later than 3:30 PM AEDT Wednesday, 21 October 2026.
You should note that if the information requested by this letter is information required to be given to ASX
under Listing Rule 3.1 and it does not fall within the exceptions mentioned in Listing Rule 3.1A, AVE’s
2/2
#11160061v1
obligation is to disclose the information ‘immediately’. This may require the information to be disclosed
before the deadline set out in the previous paragraph and may require AVE to request a trading halt
immediately.
Your response should be sent by e-mail to listingssupervisionmelbourne@asx.com.au. It should not
be sent directly to the ASX Market Announcements Office. This is to allow us to review your response
to confirm that it is in a form appropriate for release to the market, before it is published on the ASX
Market Announcements Platform.
Trading halt
If you are unable to respond to this letter by the time specified above, or if the answer to question 1 is
“yes” and an announcement cannot be made immediately, you should discuss with us whether it is
appropriate to request a trading halt in AVE’s securities under Listing Rule 17.1. If you wish to request
a trading halt, you must tell us:
• the reasons for the trading halt;
• how long you want the trading halt to last;
• the event you expect to happen that will end the trading halt;
• that you are not aware of any reason why the trading halt should not be granted; and
• any other information necessary to inform the market about the trading halt, or that we ask
for.
We require the request for a trading halt to be in writing. The trading halt cannot extend past the
commencement of normal trading on the second day after the day on which it is granted. You can find
further information about trading halts in Guidance Note 16 Trading Halts and Voluntary Suspensions.
Suspension
If you are unable to respond to this letter by the time specified above, ASX will likely suspend trading in
AVE’s securities under Listing Rule 17.3.1.
Listing Rules 3.1 and 3.1A
In responding to this letter, you should have regard to AVE’s obligations under Listing Rules 3.1 and
3.1A and also to Guidance Note 8 Continuous Disclosure: Listing Rules 3.1 – 3.1B. It should be noted
that AVE’s obligation to disclose information under Listing Rule 3.1 is not confined to, nor is it necessarily
satisfied by, answering the questions set out in this letter.
Release of correspondence between ASX and entity
ASX reserves the right to release all or any part of this letter, your reply and any other related
correspondence between us to the market under Listing Rule 18.7A. The usual course is for
correspondence to be released to the market.
