Data supplied by Morningstar and accurate on Feb 3, 2021.
It's not possible to publish a real-time Top 20 Shareholder list.
Companies are not obliged to report this data (with the exception of Substantial
Shareholders above 5%). If a company chooses to publish the data,
it's usually once a year in their Annual Report.
All data is manually compiled so there might be a delay between the Annual Report
being published and the data appearing on Market Index (<7 days for ASX 300
and up to 30 days for micro-caps).
A substantial shareholder is a person or entity that owns 5% or more of
the voting shares in a company. Shares can be held through multiple
entities, so the Substantial Shareholders list differs from the Top 20 Shareholders list.
Shareholding changes less than 1% do not require notification to the market.
When all “Last Notice” dates are identical, it suggests that no (or minimal)
change
has occurred since the most recent Annual Report.
