Dear Shareholder,

Share Purchase Plan- ineligible shareholders

CBio Limited (ASX:CBZ) today announced its Share Purchase Plan (SPP), which will provide the opportunity for eligible shareholders to purchase up to $15,000 of CBio ordinary shares at $0.35 per share, without incurring brokerage or transaction costs.

Please find enclosed documents relating to the CBio SPP for your information only.

Only eligible shareholders registered as holders of ordinary shares at the record date of 21 May 2010 with a registered address in Australia or New Zealand may participate in the SPP.

The Company considers it unreasonable on this occasion to extend the SPP to shareholders with a registered address outside of Australia having regard to the small number of such shareholders and the costs of complying with legal and regulatory requirements in each of those jurisdictions.

Thank you for your continued support of CBio and I trust you understand the Company’s position in this matter.

Yours sincerely

BEN GRAHAM Company Secretary CBio Limited
