Every current director and officer on the SEDI register as at 08 August 2026, on their most recent filed balance. Non-derivative common shares only, so options, warrants and rights are excluded, and a director whose holding is entirely options shows nil. People who have ceased to be insiders are excluded, as are records left open by former insiders who never filed a notice of ceasing. Balances filed before the 2:1 share split of 26 May 2026 are restated to current shares. Percentages are computed against 47,800,000 shares outstanding.
