The Annual Review and Annual Report are the main
sources of information for stapled securityholders. In
August each year, the Annual Review, Annual Report
and Full Year Financial Report, and in February each
year, the Half Year Financial Report, are released to
the ASX and posted on the ALE website. The Annual
Review is mailed to stapled securityholders unless
