Former Sirtex chief executive Gilman Edwin Wong was sentenced to 18 months imprisonment on Thursday but released on a good behaviour bond after being convicted of insider trading in the cancer treatment group's shares.

Mr Wong faced up to 10 years' imprisonment after he pleaded guilty in the Downing Centre Local Court in Sydney last July to selling 74,698 Sirtex shares for more than $28 each on October 26, 2016, when he was in possession of inside information. In December that year, Sirtex lowered its guidance to predict growth of 5 to 11 per cent, which triggered a share price plunge of 37 per cent to $16.in January 2017 as ASIC began an investigation into his trading.

ASIC had also hit Sirtex with a fine of $100,000 that year following an investigation that found the company was in breach of its continuous disclosure obligations. There was no admission of liability by Sirtex.
