Dear Emma
GNC - Appendix 3Y - Change of Directors Interest Notice - Alison Watkins – Deferred Equity Plan Shares.
We refer to the attached Appendix 3Y lodged today concerning 38,281 GNC ordinary shares (Shares) transferred to Alison Watkins on 16 November 2012 pursuant to the vesting of Share rights issued under the GNC Deferred Equity Plan (DEP).
We provide the following further details concerning this Change of Directors Interest Notice.
The Appendix 3Y was lodged late due to a misunderstanding between the person involved in transferring GNC ordinary shares to eligible DEP participants and the Company Secretariat Office. Prior to their transfer to Alison Watkins, the Shares had been held by the trustee of the GNC Employee Share Plan Trust.
The notice of change to a Director’s holding of GNC securities received from the Company’s share registry on 17 November 2012 was not actioned for the same reason.
This error was identified on Friday 24 May 2013 during a review of the shareholdings of all GrainCorp Directors. Action was immediately taken to clarify the nature of the Shares and draft an Appendix 3Y concerning their transfer to Alison Watkins on 16 November 2012 in satisfaction of the vesting of DEP share rights.
The vesting of the 38,281 share rights was disclosed to the market in the Remuneration Report on Pages 40 and 41 of the 2012 Annual Report and Financial Statements for the year ended 30 September 2012 which was lodged with the ASX on 15 November 2012.
All GrainCorp Directors are aware of their obligation to notify the Company Secretary in respect of all changes to their interests in the securities of the Company.

A schedule of the material interests of each Director, including the number of GrainCorp Shares held directly or indirectly, is provided in the Board Papers for each Directors meeting to facilitate the notification of any changes to the Company Secretary.
In addition, the Company has arranged for the share registry to place a flag on each Director’s direct and indirect holdings which results in all changes being notified to the Company Secretariat Office on the day the registry records the transaction.
The Company believes that the current arrangements are adequate. The late lodgement in this case was the result of a misunderstanding by the Company Secretariat Office that the transfer of the Shares to Alison Watkins had previously been disclosed to the market.
The Company will review the arrangements for the transfer of ordinary shares to eligible participants pursuant to the vesting of share rights and ensure that suitable procedures are in place for the immediate lodgement of an Appendix 3Y where appropriate. The Company will increase the number of people who receive the notice of change to a flagged holding sent by the Company share registry to provide additional oversight of the obligations under Listing Rule 3.19A.
Yours faithfully GrainCorp Limited
