21 April 2008 Company Announcements Australian Securities Exchange Level 4 20 Bridge Street SYDNEY NSW 2000
Disclosure regarding shareholdings in various ASX listed entities
Reference is made to previous announcements made by Australia and New Zealand Banking Group Limited ( ANZ ) regarding its interests in various ASX listed entities arising under transactions entered into pursuant to Australian Master Securities Lending Agreements with Opes Prime Stockbroking Limited and Leveraged Capital Pty Ltd (the Opes Prime AMSLAs ).
The details of ANZ’s interests in shares in the companies referred to in the schedule to the announcement that was provided to the ASX on 17 April 2008 (in terms of both numbers and percentages) remain unchanged as at close of trading on 18 April 2008.
The interests identified in that announcement may include shares which have been sold by the ANZ Group (as part of the Disposal Programme referred to in earlier announcements) pursuant to transactions which had not settled as at close of trading on 18 April 2008.
The schedules attached to previous announcements indicated that ANZ had an interest in excess of 5% of the total issued voting shares in Renison Consolidated Mines NL (RSN) arising in connection with the Opes Prime AMSLAs. ANZ's interests in RSN securities are in respect of partly paid shares that carry proportional voting rights and in convertible notes that have no voting rights, rather than fully paid ordinary shares that carry full voting rights. As such, having regard to the current number of issued voting shares in that company, the previous schedules were incorrect and ANZ does not have an interest in that company in excess of 5% arising in connection with the Opes Prime AMSLAs.
Yours faithfully
Simon Pordage
Deputy Company Secretary
