The Company will target, in the absence of unforeseen circumstances, a gross annualised dividend yield of 6 per cent, based on the Issue Price for the period from Admission to 30 June 2008. The Company does not intend this target to be a projection or forecast of dividends actually payable or actual profit or cash available for distribution.

The estimate could vary for bid and investigation costs beyond the anticipated level.
