Amalgamated Holdings Limited – Renounceable Pro-Rata Entitlement Offer

3 November 2009

Dear Shareholder,

On behalf of Amalgamated Holdings Limited ( AHL ), I am pleased to invite you to participate in a 1 for 5 renounceable pro-rata entitlement offer for AHL ordinary shares ( New Shares ) at an offer price of $4.10 per New Share ( Entitlement Offer ) to raise up to approximately $107 million.

Over the past 3 years AHL has invested over $275 million in capital expenditure and acquisitions. AHL has undertaken a number of hotel and cinema acquisitions and property redevelopments and expects to continue to pursue such opportunities in the future. The proceeds of the entitlement Offer will be used to strengthen AHL’s capital base and provide increased financial flexibility to pursue growth opportunities.

Entitlement Offer

On 3 November 2009 AHL announced its intention to raise up to approximately $107 million through a renounceable pro-rata entitlement offer. The entitlement Offer entitles eligible Shareholders to subscribe for 1 New Share for every 5 AHL Shares held at the Record Date of 7.00pm (eDT) on 12 November 2009. eligible Shareholders may also apply for New Shares in excess of their entitlement. The equity raising is not underwritten.

The offer price of $4.10 per New Share represents a discount of approximately 31.3% to the closing price of AHL Shares on 2 November 2009 (the last trading day before the equity raising was announced) and a discount of 27.5% to the theoretical ex-rights price[1] .

New Shares will be issued on a fully paid basis and will rank equally with existing AHL Shares.

Renounceable Offer

Consistent with what the Board of AHL considers to be the best treatment for all shareholders, the entitlement Offer is renounceable. This provides eligible Shareholders the opportunity to sell some or all of their Rights. Trading of Rights is expected to commence on the ASX on 6 November 2009 and to cease on close of trading on 23 November 2009.

AHL will appoint an ASIC-approved nominee to sell your Rights if you are ineligible to participate. The net proceeds (if any) of the sale of those Rights will be forwarded to you in due course. please read this booklet for further details.

Dividend

AHL expects to maintain a dividend of 32 cents per share on the expanded capital base in FY2010, subject to any unforeseen circumstances. It is expected that FY2010 dividends will continue to be fully franked. The New Shares will be entitled to any dividends with a record date after the date of issue of the New Shares.

Participation of Major Shareholders

The offer is not underwritten. However, AHL’s Major Shareholders (Alphoeb pty Limited, Carlton Investments Limited, enbeear pty Limited, Investors Mutual Limited, Maple-Brown Abbott Limited, perennial Value Management Limited and myself, Alan Rydge), which in aggregate hold approximately 70% of the issued capital of AHL, have each entered into arrangements under which they have committed to subscribe for (or procure subscriptions for) all of their entitlements.

Having entered into these arrangements, AHL has commitments for a minimum of 70% of the total amount that could be received under the entitlement Offer.

1 The theoretical ex-rights price is the theoretical price at which AHL Shares would trade immediately after the ex-date for the entitlement Offer assuming 100% take-up of the entitlement Offer. This is a theoretical calculation only and the actual price at which AHL Shares trade immediately after the ex-date for the entitlement Offer will depend on many factors and may not be equal to the theoretical ex-rights price.

In addition to these commitments all of AHL’s Directors have interests in AHL Shares and have indicated that they intend to take up their entitlements in full (including in the case of the Managing Director in respect of AHL Shares held on his behalf under AHL’s performance Share plan).

Key Risks

can impact the A$ translated financial results and balance sheet of AHL. A sustained appreciation of the A$ against international currencies can also have an effect on demand from overseas visitors, which could impact the performance of AHL’s hospitality and leisure division.

FILM INDUSTRY DYNAMICS

AHL must contend with numerous industry trends which pose a threat to the profitability of its cinema operations. These threats include alternative film delivery methods and a rise in popularity of other forms of entertainment (including home entertainment), the shortening of the release window from film to DVD and an increase in the unauthorised recording (piracy) of audio and visual recordings for commercial sale. AHL’s entertainment strategy is to increase the appeal of the cinema experience in the face of these trends including innovative refurbishment of cinemas to enhance customer experience.

CAPITAL INVESTMENT

AHL must make significant capital investments in refurbishments, expansions and maintenance of its cinema, hotel and resort assets to remain competitive.

WEATHER CONDITIONS

Weather conditions can have a significant effect on AHL’s performance QUALITY OF FILM PRODUCT through their effect on the quantity and quality of snow at AHL’s Thredbo Cinema attendance and hence the performance of AHL’s entertainment resort during the winter period. division depends to a significant extent on the quality of film product ACQUISITIONS produced by film studios.

LITIGATION RISK

ENVIRONMENT

Litigation risks to AHL include, but are not limited to disputes, customer claims, personal injury claims, employee claims, disputes with landlords and intellectual property disputes. Legal claims, if successful could adversely impact the profits or financial position of AHL.

AHL’s resort and leisure businesses rely on being able to maintain the integrity of the surrounding environment in order to provide a quality customer experience. AHL’s financial performance could be adversely affected if this integrity were compromised. AHL must also comply with stringent environmental regulations. If any breach of these regulations occurs AHL may be subject to material clean-up costs and other liabilities.

STAFF Maintaining quality and dynamic staff is key for the performance AHL’s businesses.

Key Risks (cont’d)

OCCUPATIONAL HEALTH AND SAFETY (OH&S)

If AHL fails to comply with necessary OH&S legislative requirements, it could result in fines, penalties and compensation for damages as well as reputational damage to AHL. SHARE PRICE AND VOLUME FLUCTUATIONS

Securities may experience extreme price and trading volume fluctuations. Following the Offer, there may not be an active market trading in AHL shares. If a market is not sustained, it may be difficult for investors to sell their shares at a price that is attractive to them or at all. The price of the New Shares may not be representative of the price that will prevail after the Offer.

The equity market has experienced price and volume volatility that has affected the share price of many companies. Security prices for many companies have experienced wide fluctuations that have often been unrelated to the operating performance of those companies. Fluctuations such as these may adversely affect the market price of AHL shares.

ECONOMIC RISKS

AHL is exposed to economic factors in the ordinary course of business. Factors such as changes in fiscal, monetary and regulatory policies can adversely impact AHL’s earnings. Given that interest rates in Australia and New Zealand are at historically low levels, there is a strong likelihood of some increase in the medium to longer term.

GENERAL BUSINESS COMPETITION

AHL can provide no assurance that AHL will be able to compete effectively with existing or new competitors or that increased competition will not have a material and adverse effect on AHL’s future operating and financial performance.

GOVERNMENT POLICIES AND LEGISLATION

including environment, taxation, the regulation of trade practices and competition as well as legislation and policies relating specifically to the industries in which AHL operates. TAXATION IMPLICATIONS

Future changes in Australian taxation law, including changes in interpretation or application of the law by the courts or taxation authorities in Australia, may affect taxation treatment of an investment in AHL shares, or the holding and disposal of those shares. Further, changes in tax law, or changes in the way tax law is expected to be interpreted, in the various jurisdictions in which AHL operates, may impact the future tax liabilities of AHL.

CHANGES IN ACCOUNTING STANDARDS

AHL is subject to the usual business risk that there may be changes in accounting standards which impact on AHL. ASSET IMPAIRMENT

As a consequence of the global financial crisis, the Australian Securities and Investments Commission has specifically identified impairment of assets as an issue for Australian companies. The AHL Board regularly monitors impairment risk. Consistent with accounting standards, AHL is periodically required to assess the carrying value of its assets. Where the value of an asset is assessed to be less than its carrying value, AHL is obliged to recognise an impairment charge in its profit and loss account. Impairment charges can be significant and operate to reduce the level of a AHL’s profits and, potentially, its capacity to pay dividends. Impairment charges are a noncash item.

INVESTMENT PROPERTY VALUATIONS

AHL has a number of investment properties which are valued each half year. Movements in valuations are taken to AHL’s profit and loss account. A significant movement in the property market may impact AHL’s profits or financial position.

AHL has operations in the entertainment, hospitality, leisure and property sectors, all of which are subject to government regulation. AHL may be affected by changes to government policies and legislation

CHAIRMAN’S ADDRESS TO THE ANNUAL GENERAL MEETING OF SHAREHOLDERS FRIDAY 23 OCTOBER 2009

Ladies and gentlemen,

It is a pleasure to welcome you to the State Theatre Building for this Annual general Meeting of shareholders and to present to you the financial statements for the Company and group for the year ended 30 June 2009. These financial statements, together with other related reports and statements and the Managing Director’s Review of Operations by Division, are contained within the Annual Report, which has been released to the market and forwarded to those shareholders who have requested it.

My comments on the year are contained within the Chairman’s Review included within the Annual Report however I will take this opportunity to highlight certain group matters relevant to this forum.

In reviewing the financial highlights it is pleasing to be able to report that the normalised result, being profit before individually significant items and discontinued operations was $71.0 million, an increase of 31% over the prior year. The result has benefited strongly from an uplift in the profit from both the international and domestic cinemas.

The group’s net profit for the year decreased by 30% to $69.5 million. The prior year’s net profit benefited from various individually significant items totalling $42.7 million. The prior year result included a net profit of $38.0 million on the sale the group’s interest in Roadshow Distributors pty Limited.

given the financial turbulence of the last 18 months, the Board has been pleased with the performance of the year under review. The results for the 2009 financial year continue to demonstrate that your Company is a collection of sound businesses with a good management team that is ably led by the Managing Director.

As a result of the increase in normalised profit, the Board was able to approve a final dividend for the year of 21 cents per share which, when combined with the interim dividend, makes a total distribution of 32 cents per share and is an increase of 7% over the prior year’s dividend and is the 8th consecutive year of increased total dividend. The Board strives to maintain a dividend policy that is mindful of the needs and expectations of shareholders, but which also endeavours to ensure the longer-term continuity of earnings for both shareholders and the group.

The total net debt at 30 June 2009 was $56.7 million compared to $8.6 million at 30 June 2008 and the group’s financing facilities, excluding working capital components, is $230 million with maturity not until July 2012. The increase in net debt is directly attributable to the purchase of various assets. During the year the group purchased property, plant and equipment totalling $114 million and the assets included the properties known as the gold Coast International and Rydges Sayaba port Douglas. Since 30 June 2009 the group has made further strategic acquisitions involving outlays of approximately $46 million. The Managing Director will comment further regarding those acquisitions. We expect in the year ahead there will be further growth opportunities available for us to consider.

The Board continues to review, assess and monitor appropriate capital management initiatives and strategies. As shareholders are aware non-performing or non-core assets have, in recent years, been divested and an active capital management program implemented. The capital management initiatives have been implemented to maintain gearing to a level commensurate with the stability and certainty of cash flows while retaining the flexibility to make appropriate acquisitions and further investment in the business. The capital management program is managed within the context of maintaining a strong balance sheet and maximising total return to shareholders.

Last year I commented on the economic uncertainty and the impacts to the group. The group’s track record demonstrates that we have a proven business model, a capable management team and a solid foundation on which to grow shareholder returns and future expansion. The Board carefully monitors domestic and international economic environments and, whilst the current uncertainty within the global economy continues to hold cause for concern, there is considerable comfort in acknowledging that the group has businesses that continue to perform strongly.

Turning now to corporate governance matters, shareholders will note that the 2009 Corporate governance Statement has been expanded from previous years to include a table of compliance, or otherwise, to the ASX’s Corporate governance Council’s principles and Recommendations. pages 15 to 27 of the 2009 Annual Report sets out the corporate governance practices and procedures and should assist shareholders in understanding and appreciating the importance placed upon good corporate governance.

As mentioned in previous years, the only area of non-compliance is Recommendation 2.2, which states that the chair should be an independent director. The Recommendations suggest that where the chair is not independent it is beneficial to appoint a lead independent director. The Board’s appointed lead independent director is Mr Tony Clark who was appointed such in July 2006. The lead independent director’s role is to chair any meetings of the independent directors and to takeover the role of the chairman when the chairman is unable to act in that capacity as a result of the lack of independence.

From an overall corporate governance perspective, I am pleased to say that the Company has continued to meet all disclosure and regulatory requirements and I can assure shareholders that the Board, and Committees of the Board, remain committed to providing the highest possible standard of disclosure and maintaining best practice.

I would now like to comment on the structure of the Board.

Shareholders are aware that Ms Meredith Hellicar resigned from the Board in April 2009. I would like to take this opportunity to express our appreciation to Ms Hellicar for her significant contribution and counsel during her tenure as a director of the Company.

In July 2009 Mr peter Coates joined the Board. peter’s appointment was recommended by the Nomination and Remuneration Committee and he has already contributed strongly to the Board. I am confident that his skills and energy will see an ongoing contribution to the future performance of the group. I welcome peter to the Board.

I would also like to extend my appreciation to Mr Tom Ford who retires from the Board today. Tom has been a director since 1993 and, during this tenure, Tom has brought relevant skills, experience and wise counsel and has made a valuable contribution to the Board. I would like to thank Tom for his efforts and wish him well with his future activities.

The Nomination and Remuneration Committee will be reviewing potential candidates for appointment as a director. The Committee will be making a recommendation to the Board in due course.

There have also been some changes at the executive level and the Managing Director will comment on those changes within his address.

Ladies and gentlemen, as I have mentioned previously, the business segments in which the group operates are at times volatile and always subject to varying degrees of change. Your Board and management continue to focus on optimising your Company’s position so it can take advantage of appropriate opportunities as they arise.

I would now like to thank my co-directors for their efforts during the year and our 4,400 shareholders for their continued and on-going support. I also acknowledge the considerable efforts of the Managing Director and his unwavering commitment and dedication and also the executive team for their collective and personal efforts.

I will now ask Mr Seargeant to present his review of the operations of the group. Thank you.

I am pleased to report on our performance over the past year, a year in which we not only achieved a very solid result, but importantly, continued to lay further foundations for the future strength and growth of our Company.

Alan has already referred to the profit highlights, so I intend to focus on the divisional and operational aspects of the results.

In exhibition, we grew our domestic box office by 12% over the prior year and this was driven primarily by the standout performance of The Dark Knight , which achieved in excess of $45 million at the Australian Box Office. Australia, Mamma Mia! and Quantum of Solace , all grossing over $30 million, and Madagascar: Escape 2 Africa, Twilight, Hancock and Monsters v’s Aliens achieving in excess of $20 million.

We also expanded our 3D digital footprint capitalising on the increasing number of titles releasing in 3D. Over the 12 month period, 46 additional 3D digital systems were installed over the circuit taking the total number of systems to 53. This is the largest deployment of any exhibitor within Australia with the total set to exceed 100 screens by the time of the release of Avatar in December this year.

Merchandising revenue continued to grow with a 5.6% improvement in revenue per admission over the prior year. This growth was driven by a number of successful candy bar combo promotions and the ongoing success of our gold Class concept. The increased box office and merchandising revenue along with effective control of operating costs, resulted in the Domestic exhibition earnings for the period increasing over the prior year by $8.7 million or 25%.

In May 2009 we launched our new cinema brand, event Cinemas. event Cinemas is a new concept and features our premium cinema offering of gold Class and/or Vmax and exciting new food and beverage facilities, including our Scoop Self Serve Candy Bar and Set Café and Bar.

During the year we also successfully launched our cinema loyalty program, Cinebuzz. Key benefits to members include rewards for frequency, invitations to special advance screenings and discounted ticket offers. Over 500,000 customers had joined the program by 30 June 2009.

A strong focus on corporate sales as well as the continued broadening of retail sales channels for our range of gift cards resulted in a 13.3% increase in the sales of these products.

growth in online ticketing is continuing with the launch of mobile ticketing and overall we achieved some 27% growth in customers booking online.

New openings included an 11 screen cinema at the Robina Town Centre on Queensland’s gold Coast, replacing an existing six screen complex. This development is an event Cinema and includes one Vmax and three gold Class screens. We also converted six screens at the Castle Hill complex in Sydney’s North-west creating our first stand alone gold Class with five screens. In addition we closed our five screen cinema at Hindley Street in Adelaide, however, have retained ownership of the site, leasing the property to a commercial tenant. Our presence in the Adelaide market remains strong with refurbishment works to shortly commence on our Marion Megaplex.

The contribution from our 50% interest in the Village managed circuit in Victoria increased by 54.0% over the prior year. This significant improvement was largely due to the strong movie line-up, the successful opening of a new nine screen cinema at Doncaster in October 2008 and the closure of the loss-making site at Waverley gardens in the later part of the prior year.

germany was the stand-out performer within the group with an increase in profit before interest and tax of $11.6 million. Box office revenue increased over the prior year by 10.3%, with the top performing films for the year being Madagascar: Escape 2 Africa, Angels & Demons, Quantum of Solace, Mamma Mia!, Hancock and The Dark Knight . These films were well supported by a number of german productions. The Reader , a joint US and german production also performed strongly.

Merchandising revenue per admission increased by 3.7% over the prior year.

With our strong focus on the level of operating costs continuing the growth in revenue was fully maximised in terms of earnings.

During the period four non-profitable sites were closed. However several significant loss making sites remain under review, particularly our sites at Augsburg and Chemnitz.

3D capability has been rolled out to ten sites with a further 26 sites earmarked for 3D deployment prior to the end of this year.

The Middle east cinema business continued to show growth and traded very strongly. Box office was ahead of the prior year period by 14.7%. Merchandising revenue also grew to be up by 17.6% over the prior year.

The weakening of the Australian dollar against both the euro and Dirham also contributed to an increase in contribution from our international cinema operations, particularly from October 2008 through to March 2009.

The result for the group’s owned hotels was generally pleasing given the severity of the impact of the global financial crisis on business travel and conference demand. In the hotel management company earnings were impacted by the failure to achieve profit based incentive fees in a number of our hotels under management.

The consolidated result for our hotel business was a profit before interest and tax of $24.5 million which represented a decline over the prior year of 20.5%.

In recognising the challenging trading conditions, the focus was on cost control and growing market share through increased levels of promotional activity. This resulted in significantly improved volume growth from the leisure market. However, this growth in leisure travel was not at a level sufficient to offset the decline in the corporate, conference and inbound segments.

The Rydges prioritygUeST program has grown into a significant contributor to the group’s revenues with rooms booked through this program exceeding 245,000, an increase of some 50% over the prior year.

Bookings from rydges.com accounted for 17% of total rooms sold during the year with total rooms booked online now 28% of total rooms sold.

Following our acquisition of the gold Coast International Hotel in October 2008 we gained three new hotels under management. Rydges Hideaway Resort Fiji, Rydges Brighton and Rydges Kalgoorlie. In addition a 380 room extension and major expansion of conference space was completed at Rydges Bell City in Melbourne, and an 80 room extension and a new ball room is currently under construction at Rydges Auckland.

A review of the carrying value of owned hotel properties as at 30 June 2009, resulted in impairment write-downs totalling $3 million in respect of two hotel properties. The impairment write-downs have been disclosed as individually significant items for the year ended 30 June 2009.

With the completion of Stage 4 of the enhancement and automation of our snowmaking system at Thredbo, we now offer an improved product over ski slopes of all skier levels from beginners, intermediate and advanced. Thredbo achieved over 390,000 skier days, which was the best result over the past five years and the third best ever recorded.

The favourable skiing conditions particularly in July and August 2008 helped Thredbo achieve a record financial result. Other positive earnings initiatives included the maximisation of yield-per-skier, increased marketing of the shoulder periods and effective management of operating costs.

Featherdale Wildlife park earnings were slightly ahead of the prior year despite the continued weakness in the inbound tourist market. This weakness in the inbound market was largely offset by strong domestic market admissions, boosted by World Youth Day.

The State Theatre experienced significantly improved trading conditions compared to the prior year, driven by an increase in the number of concert performances.

I would now like to take this opportunity to comment on some of the significant transactions that occurred during the year and since the 30th of June 2009.

The development of a competitive advantage in food and beverage continues to be an essential element in all our growth plans for our cinemas, hotels and resorts and Thredbo. We believe that if we continue to be truly innovative and create new and exciting food and beverage experiences across all of our current and future brands, we can continue to drive a true competitive advantage and sustainable growth in market share.

We are currently undertaking a major refurbishment of the ground floor foyer restaurant and bar of Rydges Lakeside in Canberra and, following the completion of our exciting new gold Class complex at Castle Hill, are currently undertaking a refurbishment of our cinema complex at Macquarie including gold Class and the establishment of a café bar in the foyer. In addition we are looking to upgrade a number of our candy bars in our event Cinemas to the new Scoop Alley Self Serve concept and establish vibrant new café bars in our foyers.

I have in previous years highlighted the need for technological innovation and this continues to be a foundation platform on which we also build our competitive advantage. We continue to drive the success of our online booking sites and loyalty programs, Rydges priorityguest and Cinebuzz.

As mentioned in the previous year we as a Company seek to build on our asset base and property holdings when suitable opportunities arise.

In addition to the purchase of the gold Coast International Resort earlier in the year we announced, in May 2009, the acquisition of the Rydges Sabaya Resort, port Douglas for a purchase price of $20.55 million. The Resort comprises 127 apartments and associated resort facilities. The 104 apartments acquired by the group are a combination of one and two bedroom apartments. A further 23 apartments are held by private interests and were not part of the acquisition. Subsequent to the purchase we have acquired a parcel of land adjacent to the Resort for $2 million.

Since 30 June 2009, we have announced the acquisition of Rydges gladstone and Rydges Townsville for a total purchase price of $34.2 million. Rydges gladstone is a 95 room, 4-star hotel with associated conference facilities. Rydges Townsville is a 98 room, 4-star hotel with extensive conference facilities and additional retail tenancies. The purchase includes management letting rights to 12 two-bedroom self contained apartments located near Rydges Townsville. Both hotel properties, which have been managed by Rydges Hotels since 2007, are expected to continue to experience growth in demand from the mining sector.

The group also acquired the leaseholds for the Beverly Hills and Cronulla cinema complexes for the total purchase price of $9.8 million. The six screen cinemas are located within Sydney’s South-western and Southern suburbs on King georges Road, Beverly Hills and Cronulla Street, Cronulla. The acquisition builds on the group’s domestic cinema circuit and improves our footprint within the greater Sydney Region.

The redevelopment of appropriate existing owned property is continuing with a seven level commercial office development of the former cinema site at Mort Street, Canberra Civic expected to be completed in November this year. An agreement has been entered into for the long term lease of the building. This property will be held as an investment property. We anticipate that we will recognise a before tax development gain of approximately $8 million on revaluation of the property in the half year to 31 December 2009. No gain has been recognised for this property in the results for the first three months.

The sales of residential land from the sub-division of the former Bass Hill Drive-In site is progressing well with deposits taken for 22 of the 106 lots. No profit on the sale of the lots has been recognised in the first three months results as the profit will only be recognised once the civil works have progressed to a satisfactory stage of completion. The sale of lots is expected to occur over the next two years.

We are currently and will continue to evaluate appropriate acquisitions and development opportunities that will provide future earnings growth.

Turning now to the executive team, since the last Annual general Meeting, Mr Ross entwistle resigned as Managing Director of Domestic entertainment in February 2009. The responsibilities of this position have for now been absorbed by myself and the senior domestic exhibition executives.

For all that we have achieved this past year, to the senior executive team and all our valued employees, I would like to express my appreciation for their highly valued contribution.

Turning now to the current year and the results achieved for the first three months, I am pleased to report that the profit before tax was $42 million. There were no individually significant items to report. On a like-for-like basis, this represents an increase of 35% over the prior comparable period. The major driver of this lift in earnings was the performance of our cinema business in germany which benefited from the absence of a major football championship over the summer and the very strong release slate of American and local german film product.

earnings from our domestic circuit were also strong being up 16% on the prior year with the quarter featuring the major standout releases of Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince, Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen and Bruno .

The result from our hotel business was encouraging with early signs of a strengthening in demand from the business travel and conference segments.

Thredbo, with a strong start to the 2009 season, experienced inconsistent conditions over August and September and this had a significant impact on the earnings comparison with the prior year record season.

With a degree of uncertainty still surrounding many of the world’s major economies it remains difficult to comment with any high level of confidence on the outlook for the remainder of the year.

With a strong performance in the first quarter, a strong film line up, including a number of highly anticipated films such as Avatar and New Moon and some encouraging signs in the hotel sector we do believe however that we are well positioned to continue to meet the challenges this uncertainty presents.

Thank you. Your support and interest in attending this morning is appreciated.

How to Apply

1 The Entitlement Offer

AHL is making an entitlement Offer of New Shares to shareholders who have a registered address in Australia or New Zealand (and who are not otherwise ineligible within the definition of ‘excluded Shareholders’ in the glossary).

eligible Shareholders who are on AHL’s share register at 7.00pm (eDT) on 12 November 2009 ( Record Date ) will be entitled to apply for one New Share for every 5 AHL Shares held on that date, at an issue price of $4.10 per New Share. The issue price is payable in full on application.

The number of New Shares to which you are entitled is shown on the accompanying entitlement and Acceptance Form. In determining entitlements, any fractional entitlements have been rounded up to the nearest whole number of shares (with holdings in the same name aggregated for the purposes of the calculation).

The New Shares will be fully paid and will rank equally with AHL’s existing issued ordinary shares.

Amount to be raised

If all shareholders take up their entitlements under the entitlement Offer, approximately 26.1 million New Shares will be issued and AHL will raise approximately $107 million before costs. The entitlement Offer is not underwritten but the Major Shareholders, holding approximately 70% of the issued capital of AHL, have committed to subscribe for (or procure subscriptions for) all their entitlements.

Rights trading

The entitlement Offer is renounceable. This means that eligible Shareholders who do not wish to take up all or some of their entitlement may sell or transfer their rights to their entitlement ( Rights ). eligible Shareholders are able to renounce (sell) the Rights which they do not wish to accept in order to realise the value which may attach to their Rights. Information on how Rights may be sold or transferred is set out below. The Rights will be quoted on ASX. If you decide not to exercise all or part of your Rights, you should consider whether to renounce your Rights.

Additional Shares

eligible Shareholders may, in addition to taking up their entitlement in full, apply for Additional Shares in excess of their entitlements. Additional Shares will only be available where there is a shortfall between applications received from eligible Shareholders (or persons to whom Rights have been transferred or sold) and the number of New Shares proposed to be issued under the entitlement Offer. Additional Shares will be issued at the offer price of $4.10 per share.

Allocation policy

All eligible Shareholders who apply for New Shares will, at a minimum, have their applications satisfied up to their entitlement, unless all or part of the entitlement Offer is withdrawn. AHL may scale back applications for Additional Shares in its absolute discretion. eligible Shareholders who apply for Additional Shares may be allocated a lesser number of Additional Shares than applied for, or may be allocated no Additional Shares at all, in which case excess Application Money will be refunded without interest.

5 Role of Your Stockbroker

Where you elect to sell your Rights, your stockbroker will act on your behalf. AHL accepts no responsibility for any failure by your stockbroker to carry out your instructions. persons buying Rights will need to pay the Application Money to take them up and should follow the directions of their stockbroker.

6 Entitlements of Excluded Shareholders

In compliance with Listing Rule 7.7.1 and sections 708AA (including section 9A) and 615 of the Corporations Act, AHL will appoint an ASIC-approved nominee (the Nominee ) to arrange for the sale on ASX of the Rights which would have been granted to excluded Shareholders. The Nominee will direct the net proceeds (if any) to AHL or other party upon its instruction to facilitate pro rata payments to excluded Shareholders.

The Nominee will have the absolute and sole discretion to determine the timing and the price at which the Rights may be sold and the manner in which any sale is made. Any interest earned on the proceeds of the sale of these Rights will firstly be applied against expenses of such sale, including brokerage, and any balance will accrue to AHL.

The proceeds of sale (if any) will be paid in Australian dollars to the excluded Shareholders for whose benefit the Rights have been sold in proportion to their shareholdings (after deducting brokerage commission and other expenses). If any such net proceeds of sale are less than the reasonable costs that would be incurred by AHL for distributing those proceeds, such proceeds may be retained by AHL.

Notwithstanding that the Nominee may sell Rights, excluded Shareholders may nevertheless receive no net proceeds if the costs of the sale are greater than the sale proceeds.

Neither AHL nor the Nominee will be liable for a failure to sell Rights or to sell Rights at any particular price. If, in the reasonable opinion of the Nominee, there is no viable market for the Rights of excluded Shareholders, or a surplus over the expenses of sale cannot be obtained for the Rights that would have been offered to the excluded Shareholders, then those Rights will be allowed to lapse.

Important Information

1 General

You should read the information in this booklet carefully and in its entirety before deciding whether to invest in New Shares. In particular, you should consider the risk factors outlined in the Investor Presentation released to the ASX on 3 November 2009 that could affect the operating and financial performance of AHL or the value of an investment in AHL.

AHL has applied for the grant by ASX of Official Quotation of the New Shares. If the ASX does not grant quotation for the New Shares, AHL will not allot any New Shares and all Application Money will be refunded without interest.

It is expected that normal trading will commence in relation to New Shares issued under the entitlement Offer on 9 December 2009. AHL disclaims all liability (to the maximum extent permitted by law) to persons who trade New Shares before the New Shares are quoted on ASX or receiving their confirmation of issue, whether on the basis of confirmation of the allocation provided by AHL or the Share Registry.

2 Excluded Shareholders

AHL is only making an offer under the entitlement Offer to eligible Shareholders. An eligible Shareholder is a holder of AHL Shares who is registered as a holder of AHL Shares as at 5.00pm (eDT) on the Record Date and who is not an excluded Shareholder.

A person will be an Excluded Shareholder if that person:

  • has a registered address which is not in Australia or New Zealand;

  • is in the United States or is a U.S. person (as defined in Regulation S under the U.S. Securities Act of 1933) or acting for the account or benefit of a U.S. person; or

  • is ineligible under any applicable securities laws to receive an offer under the entitlement Offer.

  • AHL has decided that it is unreasonable to extend the entitlement Offer to excluded Shareholders having regard to:

  • � the number of shareholders outside Australia and New Zealand;

  • the number and value of New Shares that would be offered to shareholders outside of Australia and New Zealand; and

  • the cost of complying with the legal requirements, and requirements of regulatory authorities, in the overseas jurisdictions.

3 Not Investment Advice

The information in this Offer Booklet is not a prospectus under the Corporations Act and has not been lodged with ASIC. It does not contain all the information that would be required to be included in a prospectus. It is also not financial product advice and has been prepared without taking into account your investment objectives, financial circumstances or particular needs. AHL is not licensed to provide financial product advice in respect of the New Shares.

The information in this Offer Booklet does not purport to contain all the information that you may require to evaluate a possible application for New Shares.

4 Consents and Disclaimers

Caliburn partnership pty Limited ( Caliburn ) has given and has not, before the publication of this Offer Booklet, withdrawn its written consent to be named in this Offer Booklet as financial advisor to AHL.

Caliburn:

  • does not make, or purport to make, any statement in this Offer Booklet other than those statements made in the capacity and to the extent Caliburn has provided its consent, as referred to above; and

  • to the maximum extent permitted by law, expressly disclaims and takes no responsibility for any part of this Offer Booklet other than as described in this section with Caliburn’s consent.

5 Taxation

Set out below is a general summary of the Australian income tax, goods and services tax and stamp duty implications of the entitlement Offer for eligible Shareholders who are residents of Australia for tax purposes and who hold their AHL Shares as capital assets.

The summary below does not necessarily apply to eligible Shareholders who hold their AHL Shares as assets used in carrying on a business or who may carry on the business of share trading, banking or investment.

The summary below does not necessarily apply to eligible Shareholders whose AHL Shares are held through an employee share plan or whose AHL Shares are held as revenue assets or trading stock.

The summary below also does not take account of any individual circumstances of any particular eligible Shareholder, including those eligible Shareholders that are non-residents of Australia for tax purposes. eligible Shareholders should seek specific advice applicable to their own particular circumstances from their own licensed financial or tax advisers.

The summary below is based on the law in effect as at the date of this booklet.

Issue of Rights

Subject to the qualifications noted above, the issue of the Rights should not itself result in any amount being included in the assessable income of an eligible Shareholder. Further, no capital gains tax should arise on issue of the Rights.

Sale of Rights

eligible Shareholders who sell their Rights on the ASX or off-market will generally need to consider the capital gains tax consequences. eligible Shareholders will be taken to have acquired the Rights when the existing AHL Shares were acquired. Accordingly, the capital gains tax consequences should be as follows:

  • For eligible Shareholders who acquired the existing AHL Shares before 20 September 1985, the sale of the Rights will generally not be subject to capital gains tax.

  • For eligible Shareholders who acquired the existing AHL Shares on or after 20 September 1985, the sale of the Rights may trigger a capital gain generally equal to the consideration received on sale of the Rights less any non-deductible incidental costs associated with the Rights. The capital gain may be reduced by the availability of any capital losses and any capital gains tax discount, being one half for an individual or trust and by one-third for complying superannuation entities, provided that the existing AHL Shares were held for at least 12 months prior to sale of the Rights.

Lapsing of Rights

As the terms of the entitlement Offer provide that eligible Shareholders do not receive any consideration if the Rights are not exercised, the lapsing of Rights should not give rise to any income tax (including capital gains tax) implications for the eligible Shareholders.

Exercise of Rights

eligible Shareholders who exercise their Rights and are allocated New Shares (including any Additional Shares applied for and allocated) will acquire the New Shares with a cost base for capital gains tax purposes as follows:

  • Where the existing AHL Shares were acquired on or after 20 September 1985, the cost base will generally include the offer price payable for the New Shares plus any non-deductible incidental costs incurred in acquiring the New Shares.

  • Where the existing AHL Shares were acquired before 20 September 1985, the cost base will generally include the sum of the market value of the Rights when exercised, the offer price payable for the New Shares plus any non-deductible incidental costs incurred in acquiring the New Shares.

eligible Shareholders should not make any capital gain or loss, or derive assessable income, from exercising Rights or subscribing for the New Shares.

New Shares

eligible Shareholders who exercise their Rights will acquire New Shares (including any Additional Shares applied for and allocated). Any future dividends or other distributions made in respect of those New Shares will be subject to the same taxation treatment as dividends or other distributions made on AHL Shares held in the same circumstances.

On any future disposal of New Shares, eligible Shareholders may make a capital gain or capital loss, depending on whether the capital proceeds of that disposal are more than the cost base or less than the reduced cost base of the New Shares. The cost base of those shares is described above.

New Shares will be treated as having been acquired when the eligible Shareholder exercised the Right to subscribe for them. Accordingly, in order to benefit from the capital gains tax discount in respect of a disposal of the New Shares, those shares must have been held for at least 12 months after the date of exercise before the disposal occurs.

Other taxes

No goods and services tax is payable in respect of the grant or exercise of Rights or the acquisition of New Shares.

No stamp duty should be payable in respect of the grant or exercise of Rights or the acquisition of New Shares.
