After the board has approved the quarterly, half-yearly or annual results, so shareholders and the market see the same figures at the same time.

When a company or finance company invites deposits from the public and must publish the terms on which it is doing so.
Who publishes it
Companies and finance companies accepting public deposits.

When one company is being absorbed into another and the arrangement has to be made known to shareholders, creditors and the public.

The companies merging.
Usual format
Display. Sized to the scheme details it has to carry.

What we need from you
You supply the wording. We publish it exactly as supplied and send you a proof before it runs — we do not draft, reword or translate the text of a statutory notice.
The notice text, as it is to appear, in a file or typed into the form.
The newspaper and the city or edition, if these have been directed.
The date you need it published by.
Whatever the newspaper asks for to accept the notice — this varies by paper and by notice type, and we will tell you before you pay.
What it costs
Statutory notices run as display advertisements, so they are priced per square centimetre of space — not per line or per word. The cost is the paper and edition rate multiplied by the width and height of the notice.
That makes size the thing you control. A notice set to the minimum size the paper will accept costs a fraction of a quarter page, and for most statutory purposes the minimum is enough.
Rates are the official newspaper rates, at a guaranteed-lowest price.
GST of 5% applies on top of the space cost.
Send us the notice and we will quote the exact figure for the papers that qualify, before you commit.
How to publish it
Send us the notice. Upload the file or paste the text into the form, with the city it has to cover and the date you need it by.
Get the qualifying papers, priced. We come back with the newspapers that satisfy the requirement and what each will cost at the size you need.
Approve the proof. We set the notice and send you a proof. Nothing goes to the paper until you have approved exactly how it will appear.
It runs, and you can check it. On the release date the notice appears in print. You can verify it in the e-paper or a local copy of that day's edition.
