Aurizon director Andrew Harding's shareholdings adjust after performance rights vest

Andrew Harding, a director of Aurizon Holdings Limited, saw changes to his direct and indirect interests. This followed the vesting of 192,567 ordinary shares from a Deferred Short Term Incentive Award (2024) on September 25, 2025. These shares were subsequently transferred off-market to the Bunyip Aristocrats Trust on September 29, 2025, at a value of A$3.19 per share.

Post-change, Harding's direct holdings remain at 20,000 ordinary shares, while the Bunyip Aristocrats Trust now holds 2,772,287 ordinary shares. The total number of Performance Rights held by Harding decreased to 2,921,199, including awards from 2021, 2022, 2023, and 2024, along with 192,567 Performance Rights from the STI Deferred Plan.

Concurrently, Aurizon Holdings announced the cessation of 404,371 unquoted performance rights on July 5, 2025. These rights lapsed because the conditional requirements for vesting were not satisfied, resulting in a new total of 14,255,052 unquoted performance rights on issue. The number of ordinary fully paid shares on issue remains at 1,750,443,988.
