FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

EGM to Approve Share Purchase Offer and Associated Sale of Small Shareholdings

SYDNEY, AUSTRALIA – 14 August 2007 – NuSep Ltd (ASX: NSP) has issued the attached Notice of Meeting and associated Notice of sale of unmarketable parcels. The EGM to consider these matters will be held at 10am on 25[th] September at the Company’s head office in Frenchs Forest.

Currently NuSep has over 2,500 shareholders who hold less than $100 worth of shares in the Company, which represents approximately 3% of the total shares on issue. The Directors are concerned at the high cost of maintaining these small shareholdings, money which could be better spent growing the Company.

The Directors believe the most efficient way to reduce these costs is to offer all NuSep Shareholders a chance to top up their shareholding via the Share Purchase Offer (SPO). Details of the SPO are contained in the Short Form Prospectus dated 8 August 2007.

Any Shareholder who holds less than $100 worth of Shares once the SPO closes will be offered the opportunity to sell their Shares at the SPO price (25 cents) without brokerage. In this way, small Shareholders have the opportunity to either acquire more Shares in NuSep or to sell their Unmarketable Parcels at the same price without paying any brokerage.

Taylor Collison and two Directors of NuSep have agreed to underwrite $1.5m of the SPO and the Directors have agreed to buy the shares sold under the Unmarketable Parcel Sale Facility.

Confidential syddocs 804819v2 SSEG

7

Accordingly, in order for the Directors to participate in the Share Purchase Offer to subscribe for Shares, it is necessary to obtain the approval of shareholders by way of ordinary resolution.

The Directors are all currently shareholders of the Company and as such are each entitled to acquire up to $5,000 worth of shares (equivalent to 20,000 Shares) under the Share Purchase Offer. The directors all intend to take up their entitlement.

The terms being offered to Directors in their capacity as directors are identical to those being offered to other Shareholders.

Intended use of the marketing of the Gels; funds raised: completing the Sperm Sorter Clinical Trials; strategic acquisitions of both products and companies; and general working capital purposes and to meet estimated expenses of the Offer.

4. Resolution 3

As stated above, ASX Listing Rule 10.11 provides that unless one of the exceptions in ASX Listing Rule 10.12 applies, an entity must not issue shares to Directors without the approval of holders of ordinary securities by ordinary resolution.

The Company has entered into the Underwriting Agreement with Taylor Collison, Mr John Manusu and Nicholas Caré to underwrite the first $1.5 million of the Share Purchase Offer. If shareholders do not apply for the first $1.5 million of Shares under the Share Purchase Offer, Mr John Manusu and Mr Nicholas Caré will subscribe for the shortfall together with Taylor Collison. Mr John Manusu may therefore subscribe for up to $925,000 (or 3,700,000 shares) and Mr Nicholas Caré may therefore subscribe for up to $75,000 (or 300,000 Shares ).

Confidential syddocs 804819v2 SSEG

Accordingly, in order for the Directors to underwrite the Share Purchase Offer, it is necessary to obtain the approval of shareholders by way of ordinary resolution.

Listing Rule 10.13 requires that the following information be provided to Shareholders:

Name of Person Mr Nicholas Caré (Chairman, Director) Mr John Manusu (Director, Managing Director, CEO)

Intended use of the marketing of the Gels; funds raised: completing the Sperm Sorter Clinical Trials; strategic acquisitions of both products and companies; and general working capital purposes and to meet estimated expenses of the Offer.

5. Resolution 4

Clause 106 of the Company's constitution ( Constitution ) permits the Company to sell the Shares of a member who holds less than a marketable parcel of shares, subject to certain requirements.

The Constitution currently adopts the definition of a marketable parcel in the ASX Listing Rules. A marketable parcel is a parcel of equity securities (as defined in the ASX Listing Rules) in the Company of not less than $500 ( Marketable Parcel ).

The Company currently has a large number of shareholders with less than a Marketable Parcel of shares, and it incurs considerable costs in the administration of those shareholdings and providing reports, notices and other information to shareholders. The Company believes that by requiring the sale of Small Holdings (that is, with a value of less than $100) in accordance with clause 106 of its Constitution it can reduce these costs.

The Company has issued a notice to all shareholders currently holding less than a Marketable Parcel of Shares as required by clause 106 of its Constitution ( Notice ). Shareholders are required under the Notice to:

  • (a) lodge the application form for additional shares in the Company included in the prospectus dated 8[th] August 2007 by 27[th] August 2007; or

  • (b) purchase additional NuSep shares on the ASX to increase their holding to a parcel of more than $100; or

Confidential syddocs 804819v2 SSEG

9

  • (c) advise the Company in writing by completing the share retention notice attached to the Notice and returning it to the Company on or before 5pm on 26[th] September 2007,

before their Shares are sold by the Company.

Listing Rule 12.4 requires that the Company maintain certain minimum requirements in relation to its Shareholders in order to remain listed on the ASX. The Company on 3 August 2007 had 4,512 shareholders. If the Company sold all unmarketable parcels under the current definition in the constitution it is possible that it would not continue to meet the requirements of Listing Rule 12.4.

The proposed amendment to the constitution allows the Company to only require the sale of Small Holdings of Shares (that is, with a value of less than $100) which will affect approximately 2,500 Shareholders. This would reduce the costs currently being incurred in relation to administration of unmarketable shareholdings and ensure that the Company complies with the spread requirements under the ASX Listing Rules.

Please Note: If this resolution is not passed by the Meeting the Company will not sell any Small Holdings of Shares.

Dear Shareholder

Sale Notice to Holders of Unmarketable Parcels of Shares Pursuant to Clause 106 of NuSep Ltd's Constitution

Our share registry records, maintained by Registries Limited, show that the number of NuSep Ltd ( Company ) shares held in your name is less than a marketable parcel as defined in the Company's Constitution which is currently $500. The closing price of the Company's shares on the record date 3 August 2007 was 27 cents per share. On this basis, your shareholding shown above constitutes an unmarketable parcel at this date.

The Company is proposing to hold an extraordinary meeting of shareholders of the Company on Tuesday 25 September 2007 ( EGM ) to approve a change to the Constitution to allow the sale of small shareholdings. A small shareholding is a parcel of securities of less than $100 ( Small Holding ).

You will appreciate that the Company incurs considerable costs to administer shareholdings, and to provide Annual Reports, Notices of Meetings, and other information to its shareholders.

To reduce these costs the Company gives notice that, subject to shareholder approval at the EGM, if your shareholding in the Company is less than $100 in value as at the close of Australian Securities Exchange (ASX) trading on 26 September 2007 (Effective Date), the Company will exercise its right to sell your shares.

The Directors have agreed to purchase any Small Holding offered for sale at 25 cents being the issue price of the Company's current capital raising.

Actions required

If you do not wish for your shares to be sold, you will need to:

  • (a) lodge the application form for additional shares in the Company included in the prospectus dated 8 August 2007 ( Application Form ) by 27 August 2007, this prospectus is only open to Australian registered holders; or

  • (c) advise the Company in writing by completing the share retention notice ( Share Retention Notice) attached to this Sale Notice. The form must be received on or before 5pm (AEST) on 26 September 2007.
