58C  Requirement to give register notice—actions relating to entities that would be significant actions or notifiable actions if not covered by exemption certificates
 (1) For the purposes of paragraph 130ZU(1)(a) of the Act, circumstances in which a foreign person must give a register notice to the Registrar are if the foreign person takes an action that:
 (a) is an acquisition by the foreign person of an interest in securities of an entity, and is neither a significant action nor a notifiable action only because of section 42 of this instrument (about exemption certificates); or
 (b) is an acquisition by the foreign person of an interest in securities in a mining, production or exploration entity, and is neither a significant action nor a notifiable action only because of subsection 43(4) of this instrument (about exemption certificates); or
 (c) is an acquisition by the foreign person:
 (i) of a direct interest in an entity that wholly or partly carries on an Australian media business; or
 (ii) (as a foreign government investor) of a direct interest in an Australian entity;
  and is neither a significant action nor a notifiable action only because of section 42 of this instrument (about exemption certificates).
Note 1: For paragraph (a) or (b), if the person is a foreign government investor, the action may also be one to which subparagraph 56(1)(c)(ii) of this instrument applies.

 (b) if subparagraph (1)(c)(i) of this section applies to the action—the entity mentioned in that subparagraph were an Australian entity that is an agribusiness at all times while it wholly or partly carries on an Australian media business; and
 (c) if subparagraph (1)(c)(ii) of this section applies to the action—the entity mentioned in that subparagraph need not be an agribusiness; and
 (d) for the purposes of 130ZH(4) of the Act—paragraph 130ZH(1)(a) of the Act applies in relation to the action.
Note: If paragraph (1)(a) or (b) applies to the action, paragraph 40(2)(b) (acquiring interests in securities in entity) of the Act applies to the action.
