CHAIRMAN’S LETTER

==> picture [184 x 74] intentionally omitted <==

1 October 2009

Dear Shareholder

I am pleased to introduce to you our 2009 renounceable Rights Issue Booklet.

Campbell Brothers is offering to Shareholders one fully paid ordinary share for every six shares already held. The issue price is A$22.00 per share, which represents a discount of approximately 25.7% to the closing market price of A$29.59 on Wednesday, 30 September 2009, the last day the shares traded on the ASX before the Rights Issue was announced. The Rights Issue is renounceable, which means that entitlements may be traded on the ASX or otherwise transferred if you do not wish to take up some or all of the new shares to which you are entitled. Shareholders may also apply for additional new shares in excess of their entitlement* at the same issue price of A$22.00 per share.

The Rights Issue is fully underwritten by J.P. Morgan Australia Limited and RBS Morgans Corporate Limited and will raise approximately A$196.6 million.

The proceeds from the Rights Issue will provide Campbell Brothers with the balance sheet flexibility to take advantage of strategic opportunities. Potential acquisitions continue to be identified and Campbell Brothers are currently analysing a number of these opportunities.

The Rights Issue coincides with the announcement that Campbell Brothers, through its wholly owned subsidiary, Australian Laboratory Services Pty Ltd, proposes to make a cash offer for all of the issued capital in PearlStreet at 56 cents per share. Perth based PearlStreet is the largest provider of Non Destructive Testing (NDT) to the energy, resources and infrastructure sectors, and employs over 500 engineers, scientists and technicians across Australia.

The proposed acquisition of PearlStreet will provide Campbell Brothers with an excellent platform from which to grow its presence in the NDT market. The acquisition is consistent with Campbell Brothers' stated objective of diversifying its analytical services business, both geographically and in terms of service capability.

Campbell Brothers has also updated its first half FY10 NPAT guidance to approximately A$38 million, which is in line with its previous guidance of A$35 – 40 million. Customer activity levels are showing clear signs of stabilisation and improvement and the increased predictability within Campbell Brothers' core business gives it confidence in expanding its footprint.

  • There is no guarantee of the number of new additional shares (if any) that will be available for Shareholders to take up in addition to their entitlement under the Rights Issue.

ASX RELEASE

1 October 2009

Campbell Brothers Limited announces a A$196.6 million fully underwritten Rights Issue and proposal to make an all cash offer for PearlStreet Limited

Campbell Brothers Limited (ASX Code: CPB) has today launched a fully underwritten 1 for 6 renounceable rights issue to raise approximately A$196.6 million.

The issue price under the Rights Issue is A$22.00 per share; a 25.7% discount to the last closing price of Campbell Brothers shares on 30 September 2009 and a 22.8% discount to the Theoretical Ex-Rights Price. The Rights Issue is fully underwritten by J.P. Morgan Australia Limited and RBS Morgans Corporate Limited.

The proceeds from the Rights Issue will provide Campbell Brothers with the balance sheet flexibility to take advantage of strategic opportunities. Potential opportunities continue to be identified and Campbell Brothers are currently analysing these opportunities.

Campbell Brothers also announced today that its wholly owned subsidiary, Australian Laboratory Services Pty Ltd, proposes to make a cash offer for all of the issued capital in PearlStreet Limited (ASX Code: PST).

FY10 Guidance Updated

Campbell Brothers today updated its first half FY10 NPAT guidance to approximately A$38 million in line with previous guidance of A$35 – A$40 million, with Managing Director Greg Kilmister commenting:

“Our customers’ activity levels are showing clear signs of stabilisation and improvement, which bodes well for volume throughput in our laboratories.”

Proposed offer for PearlStreet

Campbell Brothers proposes to offer PearlStreet shareholders cash consideration of 56 cents per share. The proposed offer for PearlStreet implies total consideration of approximately A$86.7 million, comprising A$42.1 million for equity[1] and A$44.6 million for net debt as at 30 June 2009.

Perth-based PearlStreet is the largest Non Destructive Testing (NDT) services provider in Australia. It provides testing, inspection and asset care services to the energy, resources and infrastructure sectors. PearlStreet has over 500 employees across Australia, including engineers, scientists and technicians.

The proposed offer will be subject to limited conditions, including a Board recommendation and a minimum 90% acceptance condition. Importantly, the proposed offer will not be subject to any finance or due diligence condition.

J.P. Morgan Australia Limited is acting as sole financial advisor and Minter Ellison is acting as sole legal advisor to Campbell Brothers on the proposed offer for PearlStreet.

Rights Issue

The Rights Issue will give existing Campbell Brothers shareholders the opportunity to acquire 1 new Campbell Brothers share for every 6 existing Campbell Brothers shares at the issue price of A$22.00 per New Share.

The Rights Issue is renounceable, which means that rights may be traded on the ASX or otherwise transferred if shareholders do not wish to take up some or all of the New Shares to which they are entitled. Shareholders who take up their full entitlement will be able to apply for additional New Shares at the same issue price, being A$22.00 per share.[2]

New Shares issued under the Rights Issue will rank equally with existing ordinary shares on issue and will be entitled to Campbell Brothers’ FY10 interim dividend.

Post the Rights Issue, Campbell Brothers’ gearing will reduce from 34% to below 20% (including the proposed acquisition of PearlStreet and before any other bolt-on acquisitions) or below 10% (excluding any acquisitions). This provides Campbell Brothers with the financial flexibility to pursue further strategic opportunities.

Further details regarding the timetable for the Rights Issue are included in the Annexure to this announcement.

The Rights Issue is fully underwritten by J.P. Morgan Australia Limited and RBS Morgans Corporate Limited and Minter Ellison is acting as sole legal advisor on the Rights Issue.

ASX ANNOUNCEMENT – CAMPBELL BROTHERS OFFER FOR PEARLSTREET

==> picture [167 x 67] intentionally omitted <==

ASX RELEASE

1 October 2009

Campbell Brothers Limited announces proposal to make a cash offer for PearlStreet Limited All cash offer of 56 cents per share 79% premium to 5 day VWAP prior to announcement of recapitalisation

Campbell Brothers Limited (ASX Code: CPB) today announced that its wholly owned subsidiary, Australian Laboratory Services Pty Ltd, proposes to make a cash offer for all of the issued capital in PearlStreet, including shares issued following the exercise of PearlStreet options during the offer period (Proposed Offer).

Perth-based PearlStreet is the largest Non Destructive Testing (NDT) services provider in Australia. It provides testing, inspection and asset care services to the energy, resources and infrastructure sectors. PearlStreet has over 500 employees across Australia, including engineers, scientists and technicians.

Campbell Brothers proposes to offer PearlStreet shareholders a cash consideration of 56 cents per share, which represents a 79% premium to PearlStreet’s 5 day volume-weighted average price (VWAP) of 31 cents per share up to close of trading on 28 September 2009, the day prior to the announcement of PearlStreet’s proposed recapitalisation. In addition, PearlStreet shareholders will retain the benefit of the final 2009 dividend of 1 cent per share. If any further dividends or other rights are declared or paid after 1 October 2009, Campbell Brothers will be entitled to reduce the consideration per share by the amount of the dividend or other right.

The Proposed Offer for PearlStreet represents total consideration of approximately A$86.7 million, comprising A$42.1 million for equity[1] and A$44.6 million for net debt as at 30 June 2009.

Campbell Brothers’ Proposed Offer will provide PearlStreet shareholders with the opportunity to realise a significant premium for all of their shares. In addition, the ability to receive cash is attractive given the illiquid market for PearlStreet shares.

Greg Kilmister, Campbell Brothers’ Managing Director commented:

“The acquisition of PearlStreet will provide Campbell Brothers with an excellent vehicle to grow its presence in the NDT market, and will complement our existing portfolio of testing businesses.

It represents a significant step towards our goal of diversifying our analytical services business, both geographically and in terms of capabilities.

We look forward to early engagement with PearlStreet during the offer process, with the aim of early satisfaction of outstanding conditions and completion of the offer.”

The Proposed Offer will be subject to limited conditions, summarised in Annexure A, including a Board recommendation and a minimum 90% acceptance condition. Importantly, the Proposed Offer will not be subject to any finance or due diligence conditions.

J.P. Morgan Australia Limited is acting as financial adviser and Minter Ellison is acting as legal adviser to Campbell Brothers.

The Rights Issue is being made to all Eligible Shareholders on the register of Campbell Brothers at 6:00pm (AEST) on the Record Date with an address in Australia or New Zealand. Campbell Brothers is not required to determine whether or not any registered holder is acting as a nominee or the identity or residence of any beneficial owners of Existing Shares. Where any holder is acting as a nominee for a foreign person, that holder, in dealing with its beneficiary, will need to assess whether indirect participation in the Rights Issue by the beneficiary is compatible with applicable foreign laws. Campbell Brothers is not able to advise on foreign laws.

If you decide to take up all or part of your Entitlement then you must complete and return the personalised Entitlement and Acceptance Form with the requisite Application Monies or pay your Application Monies via BPAY® by following the instructions set out on the personalised Entitlement and Acceptance Form.

Campbell Brothers will treat you as applying for as many New Shares as your payment will pay for in full. Amounts received by Campbell Brothers in excess of your Entitlement may be treated as an application to apply for as many Additional New Shares as this excess amount will pay for in full.

5.

Payment methods

You may make payment of your Application Monies by BPAY® or by cheque, bank draft or money order.

Payment by BPAY®

For payment by BPAY® , please follow the instructions on the personalised Entitlement and Acceptance Form (which includes the Biller Code and your unique Reference Number). You can only make a payment via BPAY® if you are the holder of an account with an Australian financial institution that supports BPAY® transactions.

Please note that should you choose to pay by BPAY® :

  • you do not need to submit the personalised Entitlement and Acceptance Form but are taken to have made the declarations on that Entitlement and Acceptance Form; and

  • if you do not pay for your full Entitlement, you are deemed to have taken up your Entitlement in respect of such whole number of New Shares which is covered in full by your Application Monies.

Please make sure to use the specific Biller Code and unique Reference Number on your personalised Entitlement and Acceptance Form. If you receive more than one personalised Entitlement and Acceptance Form, please only use the Reference Number specific to the Entitlement on that form. If you inadvertently use the same Reference Number for more than one of your Entitlements, you will be deemed to have applied only for Additional New Shares on the Entitlement to which that Reference Number applies.

It is your responsibility to ensure that your BPAY® payment is received by the Registry by no later than 5:00pm (AEST) on Monday, 2 November 2009 (subject to any variation). You should be aware that your financial institution may implement earlier cut-off times with regards to electronic payment and you should therefore take this into consideration when making payment.

Any Application Monies received for more than your final allocation of New Shares and Additional New Shares (only where the amount is A$1.00 or greater) will be refunded as soon as practicable. No interest will be paid to applicants on any Application Monies received or refunded.

Payment by cheque, bank draft or money order

You should complete your personalised Entitlement and Acceptance Form in accordance with the instructions on the form and return it accompanied by a cheque, bank draft or money order in Australian currency for the amount of the Application Monies, payable to “Campbell Brothers Rights Issue” and crossed “Not Negotiable”.

Your cheque, bank draft or money order must be:

  • for an amount equal to A$22.00 multiplied by the number of New Shares and Additional New Shares that you are applying for; and

  • in Australian currency drawn on an Australian branch of a financial institution.

You should ensure that sufficient funds are held in relevant account(s) to cover the Application Monies. If the amount of your cheque for Application Monies (or the amount for which the cheque clears in time for allocation) is insufficient to pay in full for the number of New Shares you have applied for in your personalised Entitlement and Acceptance Form, you will be taken to have applied for such lower number of whole New Shares as your cleared Application Monies will pay for (and to have specified that number of New Shares on your personalised Entitlement and Acceptance Form). Alternatively, your application may not be accepted. Please note that post dated cheques may not be accepted.

Any Application Monies received for more than your final allocation of New Shares and Additional New Shares (only where the amount is A$1.00 or greater) will be refunded as soon as practicable. No interest will be paid on any Application Monies received or refunded.

Cash payments will not be accepted. Receipts for payment will not be issued.

Any scale-back of applications for Additional New Shares will be at Campbell Brothers’ discretion, and Campbell Brothers’ decision on the number of New Shares to be allocated to you will be final.

No Additional New Shares will be issued to a Shareholder which will result in them increasing their voting power in Campbell Brothers above 20%.

IMPORTANT INFORMATION

This Rights Issue Booklet (including the ASX announcement and Investor Presentation in relation to the Rights Issue) and enclosed personalised Entitlement and Acceptance Form have been prepared by Campbell Brothers. This Rights Issue Booklet is dated Thursday, 1 October 2009.

No party other than Campbell Brothers has authorised or caused the issue of this Rights Issue Booklet, or takes any responsibility for, or makes, any statements, representations or undertakings in this Rights Issue Booklet.

This Rights Issue Booklet is important and requires your immediate attention.

You should read this Rights Issue Booklet carefully and in its entirety before deciding whether to invest in New Shares or Additional New Shares. In particular, you should consider the risk factors outlined in the "Risks" section of the Investor Presentation (enclosed in this Rights Issue Booklet) that could affect the operating and financial performance of Campbell Brothers or the value of an investment in Campbell Brothers.

You should consult your stockbroker, accountant, solicitor or other independent professional adviser to evaluate whether or not to participate in the Rights Issue.

Campbell Brothers has applied to the ASX for official quotation of the New Shares. It is expected that normal trading on the ASX of New Shares issued under the Rights Issue will commence on Thursday, 12 November 2009. Campbell Brothers disclaims all liability (to the maximum extent permitted by law) to persons who trade New Shares before the New Shares are listed on the Official List of ASX or receiving their confirmation of issue, whether on the basis of confirmation of the allocation provided by Campbell Brothers, the Registry or the Underwriters .

1. Eligible Shareholders

This Rights Issue Booklet contains an offer of New Shares to Eligible Shareholders in Australia and New Zealand and has been prepared in accordance with section 708AA of the Corporations Act as modified by ASIC Class Orders CO 07/571 and CO 08/35.

Eligible Shareholders are those holders of Shares who:

  • acquired Shares prior to the Ex-Date; and

  • continue to be a registered holder of the Shares as at 6:00pm (AEST) on the Record Date; and

  • have a registered address in Australia or New Zealand; and

  • are eligible under all applicable securities laws to receive an offer under the Rights Issue.

2.

Ineligible Shareholders

Campbell Brothers has decided that it is unreasonable to make the offer to other Shareholders with registered addresses outside of Australia and New Zealand as at the Record Date having regard to the number of Shareholders in each other jurisdiction, the number and value of securities held by those Shareholders and the costs of complying with the legal and regulatory requirements in those jurisdictions. In accordance with the ASX Listing Rules, Entitlement and Acceptance Forms are not being sent to Ineligible Shareholders.

Campbell Brothers will appoint a nominee for Ineligible Shareholders. Campbell Brothers will issue the Nominee with the Entitlements that would have been available for subscription by Ineligible Shareholders had they been eligible to participate in the Rights Issue (Non-participating Rights). The Nominee will endeavour to sell the Non-participating Rights to purchasers who are sophisticated investors for the purposes of s708(8) of the Corporations Act or professional investors for the purposes of s708(11) of the Corporations Act. Campbell Brothers will remit the proceeds of any such sales (net of expenses) proportionately to Ineligible Shareholders.

Neither Campbell Brothers nor the Nominee will be subject to any liability, including for negligence, for failing to sell the Non-participating Rights nor for failing to sell the Non-participating Rights at any

particular price. Any interest earned on the proceeds of the sale of the Non-participating Rights will be applied against costs and expenses of the sale first and any balance will accrue to Campbell Brothers.

If, in the reasonable opinion of the Nominee, there is not a viable market for the Non-participating Rights or a surplus over the expenses of sale cannot be obtained for the Non-participating Rights that would have been offered to the Ineligible Shareholders, then the Non-participating Rights will be allowed to lapse and the Underwriters will subscribe for, or procure subscriptions for the relevant New Shares.

3.

No cooling off rights

Cooling off rights do not apply to an investment in New Shares or Additional New Shares. You cannot withdraw your application once it has been accepted.

4. Not investment or financial product advice

This Rights Issue Booklet is not a prospectus under the Corporations Act and has not been lodged with ASIC. It is also not financial product advice and has been prepared without taking into account your investment objectives, financial circumstances or particular needs. Campbell Brothers is not licensed to provide financial product advice in respect of the New Shares or Additional New Shares. The Rights Issue Booklet does not purport to contain all the information that you may require to evaluate a possible application for New Shares or Additional New Shares.

Before deciding whether to apply for New Shares or Additional New Shares, you should consider whether they are a suitable investment for you in light of your own investment objectives and financial circumstances and having regard to the merits or risks involved. If, after reading the Information, you have any questions about the Rights Issue, you should contact your stockbroker, accountant, solicitor or other independent professional adviser.

5. Taxation

There may be tax consequences for Shareholders who decide to participate in the Rights Issue and receive New Shares or to transfer or sell their Entitlement (in whole or in part). Campbell Brothers considers that it is not appropriate to give advice to its Shareholders regarding the tax consequences of selling or transferring Entitlements, taking up Entitlements, exercising Entitlements or receiving New Shares under the terms of the Rights Issue. Eligible Shareholders should seek specific advice applicable to their own particular circumstances from their own licensed financial or tax advisers when deciding whether to participate in the Rights Issue.

The Entitlements may not be taken up by persons in the United States, persons who are U.S. Persons or who are persons acting for the account or benefit of a U.S. Person, and the New Shares (and Additional New Shares) may not be offered, sold or resold in the United States for the account or benefit of, a U.S. Person, except in a transaction exempt from, or not subject to, the registration requirements of the Securities Act and applicable U.S. state securities laws. Accordingly, the New Shares (and Additional New Shares) may constitute “restricted securities” within the meaning of Rule 144(a)(3) under the Securities Act and, for so long as the New Shares (and Additional New Shares) remain restricted securities, the New Shares (and Additional New Shares) may not be deposited in any unrestricted American Depositary Receipt facility with respect to the securities of Campbell Brothers.

Persons holding rights or interests in relation to Shares, other than Shares, will not be entitled to participate in the Rights Issue in respect of those rights or interests unless they have become entitled to exercise their right or interest under the terms of their issue and do so such that they become the holder of Shares and an Eligible Shareholder in respect of those Shares.
