Change of Director’s Interest Notice – PJR Snowball November 2012

Appendix 3Y

Annexure A

The changes refer to the number of shares that have been allocated to the Director under the EPSP on vesting of Performance Rights granted in 2009.

The registered holder of the shares in which the Director has an interest under the EPSP is CPU Share Plans Pty Ltd (Trustee).

Allocation (vesting) of Shares and Forfeiture of Performance Rights:

In October 2009 the Director was granted 900,000 performance rights (2009 Offer) under the EPSP, which entitles the Director to receive up to a maximum of 900,000 shares subject to satisfaction of certain Performance Criteria to be assessed over the following Performance Periods;

Tranche 1 - (300,000 performance rights) – 1 October 2009 to 30 September 2012

Tranche 2 - (300,000 performance rights) - 1 October 2009 to 30 September 2013

Tranche 3 – (300,000 performance rights) - 1 October 2009 to 30 September 2014

The terms of the 2009 Offer permit the Director to make an election at the end of the three year Performance Period for Tranche 1 to either have the rights allocated based on the Performance Criteria as assessed at that time, or to extend the Performance Period for a further two years.

The Performance Criteria is the Company’s share market performance as measured by Total Shareholder Return ( TSR ) compared with the S&P/ASX 100 top 50 listed companies (excluding property trusts).

The Performance Criteria for Tranche 1 were assessed on 30 September 2012 and based on that TSR performance result, the Director is entitled to 96% of the Tranche 1 Performance Rights.

The Director has elected to accept that result and have 288,000 shares allocated to him as fully paid ordinary shares ( Allocated Shares ), which means the remaining 12,000 Tranche 1 Performance rights are forfeited and revert to the Trustee.

The Allocated Shares will continue to be held by the Trustee on behalf of the Director and remain subject to the EPSP rules until withdrawn from the EPSP by the Director.

Therefore the Director now has the right and power to exercise, or control the exercise of the right to vote in relation to, and, subject to withdrawal of the Allocated Shares from the EPSP in accordance with the EPSP rules, the right to dispose of, any of the Allocated Shares.

The Director has no present right or power to exercise, or control the exercise of, the right to vote in relation to, or the right to dispose of the shares underlying the remaining 600,000 performance rights granted under the 2009 Offer, which remain subject to TSR based performance hurdles.

• See chapter 19 for defined terms.
