Preliminary Appendix 3B in relation to fully paid ordinary shares in Australian Renewable Fuels Limited which may be issued as consideration for the acceptance of Australian Renewable Fuels Limited 's takeover offer for Wentworth Holdings Limited

We refer to the off-market takeover bid by Australian Renewable Fuels Limited for all of the fully paid ordinary shares in Wentworth Holdings Limited under Chapter 6 of the Corporations Act 2001 ( Offer ).

In accordance with section 625(3) of the Corporations Act, we enclose a preliminary Appendix 3B applying for quotation of the maximum number (being 1,358,602,212) of Australian Renewable Fuels Limited ordinary shares which may be issued as consideration to Wentworth Holdings Limited shareholders who accept the Offer.

The precise number of ordinary shares that will be issued in connection with the Offer is dependent on the number of Wentworth Holdings Limited shareholders who accept the Offer, and therefore is unknown at this time. Australian Renewable Fuels Limited will make an announcement when the number of ordinary shares to be issued in connection with the Offer is known, and will lodge a final Appendix 3B setting out the number of Australian Renewable Fuels Limited ordinary shares issued in connection with the Offer.

Yours faithfully,
