ASX CODE: TPR ASX ANNOUNCEMENT
7 October 2016
Company Update
Timpetra Resources Limited ( Timpetra or the Company ) wishes to provide an update to shareholders regarding the transactions to acquire the Australian Murray Cod aquaculture businesses as previously announced to the ASX on 7 July 2016.
Proposed Change of Name
The Company previously announced that it intended to change its name to ‘Ponde Aquaculture Limited’ as part of the transaction. Following further consultation with advisors and the aquaculture business vendors, the Company will seek to change its name to ‘ Murray Cod Australia Limited ’. This branding is simplistic and reflects the Company’s intention to become a market leading business in the Murray Cod aquaculture industry in Australia.

Media Coverage
The NSW Murray Cod industry and the aquaculture businesses to be acquired by Timpetra were recently featured on a national television broadcast presented by ABC’s Landline program.
Please click here to view the television feature (linked to the Company’s website under ‘News & Media’).
The program includes interviews with Matthew Ryan, Ian Charles and Roger Commins, who will join the Company following the proposed acquisition, as well as an interview with Company Chairman, Ross Anderson.
Timetable
The Company confirms that due diligence on each of the businesses was delayed while the financial statements of each of the vendor businesses were audited (as required by ASIC and ASX rules and policy), with the process taking longer than anticipated. The Company has not encountered any significant due diligence issues during its investigations to date and continues to prepare a Notice of Meeting to seek shareholder approval for the transactions.
