Key points

• ASX will reassess all aspects of the CHESS replacement project following completion of an independent review, conducted by Accenture, and its own internal assessment.

• Current activities on the project have been paused while ASX revisits the solution design. 
• Current CHESS remains secure and stable, and is performing well. ASX will continue to invest in its capacity and resilience. 
• The CHESS replacement capitalised software will be derecognised in light of the solution uncertainty, resulting in a charge of $245-255 million pre-tax ($172-179 million after tax) in 1H23. This will have no impact on dividends. 
• A Project Director with extensive technology transformation experience has been appointed for the next phase of the CHESS replacement project.
