Dear Ms Finucan

Application for Trading Halt – CMI Limited (CMI)

CMI requests that ASX Limited grant an immediate trading halt for the Class A (ASX:CMIPC) and Ordinary shares (ASX:CMI) of CMI pending an announcement regarding a proposed capital restructure.

CMI requests the trading halt to continue until the earlier of the commencement of normal trading on the second trading day after the trading halt commenced and when CMI makes an announcement to the market and requests that the trading halt be lifted then.

CMI is not aware of any reason why the trading halt should not be granted.

CMI proposes to make an announcement to the market regarding the capital restructure in the next 48 hours.

Please contact the writer should you require anything further to support this application.

Yours sincerely
