Former Cimic Executive Peter Gregg Charged

   By Rhiannon Hoyle

SYDNEY--A former executive of Leighton Holdings, now Cimic Group Ltd. (CIM.AU), has been charged with two counts of contravening Australian corporations law, the country's securities regulator said.

Peter Gregg, who acted as the company's chief financial officer between 2009 and 2014, on Tuesday appeared in Sydney's Downing Centre Local Court following allegations by the Australian Securities and Investments Commission he engaged in conduct which resulted in the falsification of Leighton's books.

The case was adjourned until Feb. 28, the regulator said.

Earlier this month, Mr. Gregg resigned as chief executive of Primary Health Care Ltd. (PRY.AU). In a statement on Jan. 10, Primary Health Care said Mr. Gregg denied the allegations made by the regulator.

Former Leighton executive Russell Waugh has also been charged, the regulator said.
