Dear shareholder,
I am pleased to invite you to attend the 2010 Annual General Meeting (AGM) of NuSep Holdings Ltd to be held at Level 18, 133 Castlereagh Street, Sydney on Friday 26 November 2010 at 10am. We have attached a proxy form for those shareholders who can not attend the Annual General Meeting for you to vote on the specified motions. Enclosed is the Notice of Annual General Meeting and associated documents.
I look forward to reporting on the last year and outlining the next 12 months at the AGM. Your input is invited and greatly valued by the Board and Management team.
As you may have guessed, we have been incredibly busy over the last year and the Company produced a maiden $3.29 million net profit for the year to 30th June 2010. This result represents a $6 million turnaround from a loss of $2.71m for the previous 12 months.
If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact the Company Secretary on (02) 8197 3377.
We look forward to seeing you at our Annual General Meeting.
Yours sincerely
