Re: Notice of Interests of Substantial Shareholder under Section 671B

Company Secretary:

Enclosed is a Form 603 dated 11 September 2009. Please note that a copy of this report has been sent to the Australian Stock Exchange.

The Capital Group Companies, Inc. (“CGC”) is the parent company of Capital Research and Management Company (“CRMC”). CRMC is a U.S.-based investment management company that manages The American Funds family of mutual funds. CGC is also the parent company of Capital Group International, Inc. (“CGII”), which in turn is the parent company of five investment management companies: Capital Guardian Trust Company, Capital International, Inc., Capital International Limited, Capital International Sàrl and Capital International K.K. Each of these investment management companies acts separately from the others and from CGC in exercising investment discretion over its managed accounts.

Neither CGC nor any of its affiliates own shares of your company for its own account. Rather, the shares reported on Form 603 are owned by accounts under the discretionary investment management of one or more of the investment management companies described above.

For the purposes of this Notice an outstanding share balance of 592,485,824 shares was used to calculate the percentages of holdings of the relevant share capital. We believe this outstanding share balance is current; however, if this number is not accurate, please contact us as soon as possible so that we may make the necessary revisions to this Notice.

Should you have questions or require additional information, please contact Gina Martinez or Vivien Tan at (213) 615-0469 or send a fax message to (213) 486-9698. Alternatively, you may contact us via E-mail at GRGroup@capgroup.com.
