Dear Melissa
Response to Price Query
We refer to your letter dated 11 July 2025 wherein the ASX notes an increase in share price of Alterity Therapeutics Limited (ASX: ATH) (Company) securities between close of trade on 10 July 2025 to intra-day trading on 11 July 2025, in addition to a significant increase in traded volume of securities.
The Company provides the following responses to the ASX’s queries:
ASX Question 1: Is ATH aware of any information concerning it that has not been announced to the market which, if known by some in the market, could explain the recent trading in its securities?
No, the Company is not aware of any information concerning it that has not been announced to the market which, if known, could explain recent trading in the Company’s securities.
ASX Question 2: If the answer to question 1 is “yes”.
a) | Is ATH relying on Listing Rule 3.1A not to announce that information under Listing Rule 3.1? Please note that the recent trading in ATH’s securities would suggest to ASX that such information may have ceased to be confidential and therefore ATH may no longer be able to rely on Listing Rule 3.1A. Accordingly, if the answer to this question is “yes”, you need to contact us immediately to discuss the situation. |
b) | Can an announcement be made immediately? Please note, if the answer to this question is “no”, you need to contact us immediately to discuss requesting a trading halt (see below). |
c) | If an announcement cannot be made immediately, why not and when is it expected that an announcement will be made? |

The Company is not aware of any reason or information which could be an explanation for the manner of trading in the Company’s securities over the aforementioned period.
