INDEPENDENCE GROUP NL - ACCELERATED NON-RENOUNCEABLE PRO RATA ENTITLEMENT OFFER TO RAISE APPROXIMATELY \$164.3 MILLION.
Participating Organisations are advised that Independence Group NL (the "Company") has announced a 1 for 15 fully underwritten accelerated non-renounceable pro rata entitlement offer (the "Entitlement Offer"), at an offer price of \$6.65 per security (the "Offer Price") to raise approximately \$50.6 million. The Company has also announced an institutional placement (the "Placement") at the Offer Price to raise approximately \$113.8 million.
The Entitlement Offer has two components:
- An institutional entitlement offer, where offers have been made to qualifying institutional securityholders for them to apply for their pro-rata entitlement to raise approximately \$113.8 million (the "Institutional Entitlement Offer").
- A retail entitlement offer, where an offer will be made to qualifying retail security holders for them to apply for their pro-rata entitlement to raise approximately \$50.6 million (the "Retail Entitlement Offer").
Bell Potter Securities Limited ("Bell Potter") is sole Lead Manager to the Institutional Placement and the Entitlement Offer and Sole Underwriter of the Entitlement Offer. Euroz Securities Limited has been appointed Co-manager to the institutional Placement and Institutional Entitlement Offer.
The Record Date for the Entitlement Offer is 9 November 2010.
The Retail Entitlement Offer is expected to close on 26 November 2010.
The Company will ignore changes in security holdings which occur after the commencement of the trading halt on Thursday, 4 November 2010 (other than registrations of transactions which were effected through the ASX Trading Platform before the commencement of the trading halt).

Settlement Issues
Despite the fact that securities are trading "ex entitlement" on ITS, CHESS will not recognise for settlement purposes the "ex entitlement" or the "cum entitlement" tag on CHESS messages and CHESS will not maintain cum balances during the deemed "CHESS ex-period", i.e. the period commencing on the deemed CHESS Ex-Date up to and including the record date. However,
Ŷ.
. 34
a record date cum balance will be available the business day following the record date, which will be equal to the registered holding balance at CHESS end of day on the record date. As a result any transfer that occurs prior to record date will be effectively transferred on a "cum" basis.
Therefore, Participants must ensure that any transfer, including the priming of Broker Entrepot Accounts, is conducted in accordance with the basis of quote. For example, a transfer in relation to a transaction conducted on an ex-basis should ordinarily only occur post record date.
CHESS will perform automatic diary adjustments to "cum entitlement" settlement obligations outstanding as at the record date.
Trading issues
ASX will not price a "cum" market with respect to trading in the Company's securities. Persons who acquire the Company's securities after the commencement of the trading halt on Thursday, 4 November 2010 are not entitled to participate in the Entitlement Offer.
Further Information
For further details, please refer to the Company's announcements or contact the Company.
