ASIC Form 509F Requires Administrators to Notify Failure to Execute Deed of Company Arrangement
ASIC Form 509F is the notice an administrator must lodge under section 450C(a) of the Corporations Act 2001 when a company fails to execute a deed of company arrangement (DOCA) within the period required by paragraph 444B(2)(a) or 444B(2)(b). This is a procedural form, not a new rule, and the version provided is dated 13 February 2015, although the update is listed as 2026-09-15. Compliance teams that deal with distressed counterparties or insolvency processes should understand the trigger, the signatory requirement, and the signal this notice sends about the status of a company in voluntary administration.
