ASM’s FY2026 report and acquirer close release describe commercial metal/alloy output and KMP capacity. These are company results; sources do not identify Finnimore’s individual decisions or contribution. **Attribution:** Role overlaps event; causation unproven.

ASX Settlement records administrators appointed on 13 November 2024. No dated resignation before the appointment or direct role in the insolvency was located, so overlap on 13 November and personal responsibility remain unresolved. **Attribution:** Responsibility unresolved.

The company said an administrative oversight in applying the shortfall policy caused the breach and took full responsibility. On 30 November, Walkabout said all shares had been transferred to unrelated parties at the issue price, ASX accepted that remedy, and the company reviewed its controls/training. The releases do not state Finnimore knew of, directed or intentionally caused the breach, and no personal sanction is reported. **Attribution:** Role overlaps event; causation unproven. Walkabout directly names Finnimore as the director/recipient; it expressly accepts company responsibility for the administrative failure and does not assign personal intent or control failure to him. **Relevance:** Material to capital-allocation and related-party governance diligence for a senior mining executive.
