This guide sets out our guidance on when we will give relief from the disclosure, licensing, advertising, hawking, managed investment scheme, and on-sale provisions of the Corporations Act 2001 for an employee incentive scheme.

It explains:

who can make offers

who can receive offers

what financial products can be offered

the specific structures that can be used under our relief; and

the general conditions of our relief.

Sections B to F of this guide set out our policy and class order relief for listed bodies, while Section G does the same for unlisted bodies.
