Simple corporate bonds—prospectus may refer to other material lodged with ASIC
(1) Instead of setting out information that is contained in a document (the lodged document) that has been lodged with ASIC, a base prospectus or an offer‑specific prospectus may simply refer to the lodged document. The reference must: (a) identify the lodged document or the part of the lodged document that contains the information; and (b) inform people of their right to obtain a copy of the lodged document (or part) under subsection (5). (2) The reference must also include: (a) if the information is primarily of interest to professional analysts or advisers or investors with similar specialist information needs: (i) a description of the contents of the lodged document (or part); and (ii) a statement to the effect that the information in the lodged document (or part) is primarily of interest to those people; or (b) in any other case—sufficient information about the contents of the lodged document to allow a person to whom the offer is made to decide whether to obtain a copy of the lodged document (or part). (3) The lodged document (or part) referred to under subsection (1) is taken to be included in the base prospectus, or the offer‑specific prospectus, as the case may be. (4) A person who wishes to take advantage of subsection (1) may lodge a document with ASIC even if this Act does not require the document to be lodged. (5) If the base prospectus, or the offer‑specific prospectus, as the case may be, is taken to include a lodged document, or part of a lodged document, under subsection (1), the person making the offer must give a copy of the lodged document (or part) free of charge to anyone who asks for it during: (a) in the case of a base prospectus—the covered period for the base prospectus (within the meaning of section 713C); or (b) in the case of an offer‑specific prospectus—the application period for the offer‑specific prospectus.
