Dear Shareholder
We are pleased to advise that Peet (PPC) continues to trade well and company prospects are sound.
We are proposing to re-brand Peet so as to update our image and part of this involves abbreviating our name from Peet & Company Limited to Peet Limited.
The Corporations Act, requires a proposed abbreviation to the Company's name be affected by way of a special resolution of shareholders. Accordingly, a brief special shareholders' meeting is being called to deal with this.
The meeting to be held in our Boardroom is expected to be very brief and we encourage you to vote by proxy if you agree with the Board on this proposal.
The new brand identity will be showcased to Peet shareholders prior to implementation.
Yours sincerely
PEET & COMPANY LIMITED
ennon.
