Details for Ausbil Investment Management Limited

Nature of relevant interest(s): Citicorp Nominees Pty Limited and various other custodians

hold shares in the Company as custodian and for which Ausbil is either:

 The responsible entity or trustee of a pooled investment product such as managed

investment schemes (funds); or

 The investment manager of Portfolios held for a number of institutional investors.

The institutional investors are generally superannuation funds regulated under the

Superannuation Industry Supervision Act 1993.

The holding of shares in the Company was acquired as part of a wide portfolio of Australian

shares acquired for the Funds and Portfolios.

Ausbil and the Custodians may hold relevant interests due to the capacity of these entities

to dispose of the shares in the Company.

Each investor in a fund owns an individual interest in the Fund’s assets; no investor

directly owns any asset of the Fund. The unit holding of each Fund varies from time to time

as clients enter and withdraw from the Funds. The various institutional investors with

portfolios delegate the management of the Portfolios to Ausbil.
