Transpacific Industries Group Limited - Disclosures regarding shareholding interests

Reference is made to the substantial holding notice given by Australia and New Zealand Banking Group Limited (ANZ) on 22 May 2008 in connection with its interests in Transpacific Industries Group Limited.

As indicated in ANZ’s earlier announcement of 7 April 2008, ANZ has commenced a disposal programme (Disposal Programme) with respect to securities in which it has an interest arising under transactions entered into pursuant to Australian Master Securities Lending Agreements (AMSLAs) with Opes Prime Stockbroking Limited and Leveraged Capital Pty Ltd (Opes Prime AMSLAs).

We note that of the securities identified in the substantial holding notice given by ANZ on 22 May 2008, only the 5,650 securities that were acquired by ANZ pursuant to the Opes Prime AMSLAs are subject to the Disposal Programme (although other securities may be disposed of from time to time independently of the Disposal Programme).

Yours faithfully

John Priestley

Company Secretary
