Governance and interests

Lincoln reported a pre-appointment phishing loss and subsequent recovery

September 2025–October 2026 · issuer reported · low materiality

Lincoln said supplier payments were fraudulently redirected in September 2025, before van der Hoek’s 19 December 2025 company-secretary appointment. Its December-quarter report said it engaged HLB and an IT provider as part of improved controls. The FY2026 annual report recorded a $121,772 net loss, while the 27 October 2026 quarterly report said it received a $121,772 settlement payment on 2 October 2026. Lincoln’s March 2026 interim filing reported a different recovered figure from its December-quarter and annual figures; the difference is unresolved.

Attribution: Employer context; no individual link established. The fraudulent payments preceded van der Hoek’s appointment; no evidence reviewed implicates him in the incident or establishes his personal role in the response.

Relevance: Context for his concurrent company-secretarial appointment and the client’s subsequent control improvements; not evidence of personal misconduct.

Suitability for the current role

Listed-company governance support is relevant; individual outcomes are not attributed

2024–cutoff · analyst inference · medium materiality

Analyst inference: HLB role and listed-company client work align with Alligator company-secretarial requirements. Public filings reviewed do not connect him to a specific governance outcome beyond his appointment and filing-related duties.

Attribution: Responsibility not applicable. Firm and company roles are documented, but no specific governance success or adverse outcome is attributed to him.

Relevance: Relevant ASX compliance support; concurrent client capacity is not measured.

Evidence gaps

  • Exact dates and attributed outcomes at prior employers remain incomplete.

  • No reviewed evidence established a person-specific fraud, safety, environmental or legal finding beyond those stated above; open-web searches are not exhaustive checks.

  • Employer compliance histories and credential registers have not been comprehensively checked.

  • Earlier person/topic search logs were inherited from the historical report and could not be independently verified. The October 31 review used broad searches; topic-specific records, full employer histories and independent credential checks remain incomplete.

  • The December-quarter and annual loss figures do not reconcile with the interim filing’s separately reported recovered amount; the reason for the difference was not established.
