ASX Announcement 20 March 2009

REA Group Ltd (the "Company") Appendix 3Y – Change of Director's Interest Notice

  1. The attached Appendix 3Y notices set out the notifiable interests held by Company directors in News Corp, a "related body corporate" of the Company.

The Company only first became aware that directors were required to disclose interests held not only in the Company, but also in related bodies corporate such as News Corp, last week in the course of the preparation by its new Company Secretary of an Initial Directors Interest notice for a new director. As the result of this previous oversight, information about the interests of directors of REA Group in News Corp have not previously been included in the notices of directors' interest lodged with the ASX.

As soon as this issue was identified last week, the Company worked together with its existing directors and the ASX to obtain the information required for lodgement with the ASX.

As can be seen from the notices lodged today, no REA Group director has any interest in News Corp which is of any significance in the context of the issued capital of News Corp.

    1. The Company has existing arrangements in place with its directors under which the directors agree and undertake to provide the Company Secretary with details of any change to their notifiable interests.
    1. The Company Secretary has now made changes to these existing arrangements and put in place new policies with the aim of addressing any previous oversights in the Company's systems for notifying the ASX of director's notifiable interests.
