Shares of Electro Optic Systems Holdings (ASX: EOS) surged 5.09% during Thursday's intraday trading session.
The move follows news that the company has responded to scrutiny from the ASX regarding its disclosure practices. The exchange had directed EOS to tighten its continuous disclosure policy after concerns were raised over the detail provided in a December announcement for a conditional USD 80 million high-energy laser contract with an unnamed counterparty, Goldrone.
In response, EOS has engaged an external law firm to review its disclosure practices and has published an updated policy. The company also highlighted that the Goldrone agreement exists alongside ongoing counter-drone discussions in the UAE and the Republic of Korea, factors that may be contributing to positive investor sentiment regarding its future growth prospects in the defense sector.
