NOTIFICATION OF CHANGE IN SUBSTANTIAL SHAREHOLDING

As required under Listing Rule 3.19, Echo Entertainment Group Limited ( Echo ) gives notice that it has become aware that on 18 June 2014, there was a change in the interests of Perpetual Limited and its subsidiaries (including Perpetual Investment Management Limited), a substantial shareholder of Echo. The interests held decreased from 105,211,880 to 96,911,085 ordinary shares, which represents 11.74% of the voting power in Echo.

Echo’s Constitution, as well as certain agreements entered into with the New South Wales Independent Liquor and Gaming Authority and the Queensland Office of Liquor and Gaming Regulation, contain restrictions prohibiting an individual from having a voting power of more than 10% in Echo. Echo may refuse to register any transfer of shares which would contravene these shareholding restrictions or require divestiture of the shares that cause an individual to exceed the shareholding restrictions.

As announced by Echo on 3 July 2012, Perpetual Investment Management Limited has obtained the necessary regulatory approvals to increase its potential voting power in Echo up to a maximum of 15%. These approvals override the general restriction that an individual’s voting power in Echo must not exceed 10% without the written consent of the New South Wales Independent Liquor and Gaming Authority and the Queensland Minister.
