Latest - Listed mining company Chatham Rock Phosphate has been censured and fined by the NZX disciplinary tribunal.
The company has been ordered to pay $25,000 and legal costs after it did not disclose information to local investors at the same time it made announcements on its home market in Canada.
It made 61 announcements to Canadian investors, including about its finances, without telling New Zealand investors, putting them at risk.
Chatham argued the information released in Canada was not material, and a hefty fine could cause it to leave the NZX.
Foreign companies are required to give all investors the same information at the same time, for transparency and fairness.
