> Listing Information

> 
> Markets in which our shares are traded
> 
> 
> We are listed, and those of our shares that are not held by the Commonwealth are quoted, on the ASX and on the New Zealand Stock Exchange (NZSE).  American depositary shares (ADSs), each representing five shares, have been issued by The Bank of New York as depositary and are listed on the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE).
> 
> 
> The stock market operated by the ASX is the principal stock exchange in Australia.  The exchange operates by way of the Stock Exchange Automated Trading System (SEATS), which is a fully computerised system.
> 
> 
> Trading on SEATS takes place each business day between the hours of 10:00am and 4:05pm, Australian Eastern Standard Time or Australian Eastern Standard Summer Time.  At 4:05pm each day, the ASX subsequently matches any buy and sell orders in the system that satisfy both buyers and sellers.  The prices of all listed shares are continuously quoted while the market is open and the system prioritises orders first by price and second by time of placement in the system.  Exchange participants can cross stock between buying and selling orders, at the buy or sell quote provided those quotes are no more than one marketable bid apart and can cross outside this range in amounts of A$1 million or more.  Transactions on the ASX are settled on the third business day following the trade date.

> 
> Our securities were initially listed on 17 November 1997.  This followed the sale by the Commonwealth of 33.3% of its shares in Telstra.
> 
> 
> Subsequently on 18 October 1999 the Commonwealth sold an additional 16.6% of its shares in Telstra.
