AIX announces completion of institutional component of equity raising to raise approximately $106 million

AIX has completed the institutional component of its accelerated non-renounceable 1 for 2 entitlement offer (“Institutional Entitlement Offer”), announced to the market on 18 June 2009.

The Institutional Entitlement Offer has raised approximately $106 million from the issue of 96.7 million stapled securities (“New Securities”) at an issue price of $1.10 per stapled security.

The Institutional Entitlement Offer was oversubscribed with strong demand from existing Australian and international institutional investors.

AIX Chief Executive Officer, Jeff Pollock said: “AIX is very pleased with the support shown by existing securityholders, as well as a number of new institutions who have become securityholders through the offer”.

Settlement of the New Securities is scheduled to take place on Friday 3 July 2009, with trading expected to commence on Monday 6 July 2009.

Retail entitlement offer

Further announcements will be made shortly in relation to the retail component of the entitlement offer (“Retail Entitlement Offer”). The Retail Entitlement Offer has been fully underwritten and will raise approximately $105 million through the issue of approximately 95.5 million New Securities. Existing securityholders will have the opportunity to subscribe for New Securities in excess of their pro rata entitlements, subject to any scale back or cap determined by the underwriters in consultation with AIX, in their absolute discretion.

The Retail Entitlement Offer will proceed according to the timetable set out in the announcement released to the ASX on 18 June 2009. A retail information booklet will be released to the market and mailed to security holders on Friday 26 June 2009.
