Re: Cancellation of AIM Listing
On 27 August 2008, e-pay Asia Limited announced its intention to cancel its AIM listing. The Board has taken this decision as a result of a strategic review of the Company's business, which is now primarily focused on improving shareholder value. The Company will maintain its listing on the Australian Stock Exchange ('ASX') and shareholders of the Company ('Shareholders') wishing to trade the Company's ordinary shares ('Ordinary Shares') after 30 September 2008 will be able to do so through ASX.
UK shareholders of EPY should be aware of the following information:
Key dates:
Shareholders can either:
a) prior to 30 September 2008, direct their broker to trade their Ordinary Shares on AIM;
b) on or after 30 September 2008, if Shareholders wish to trade their Ordinary Shares, direct their broker to complete a CREST Stock Withdrawal, upon which their holding will be transferred on to the share register of the Company (“Share Register”) and Shareholders can trade in Australia; or
c) do nothing and on or shortly after 1 December 2008, Computershare will cancel all depositary
interests and automatically move the Ordinary Shares on to the Australian Share Register of the
Company. Shareholdings in the Company will then be domiciled in Australia and will be tradable
on the ASX
The Company has also provided a share dealing facility to UK shareholders who require the service via the Sydney based broker, Cameron Stockbrokers Limited (www.camstock.com.au). If Shareholders would like to trade their shareholding through Cameron Stockbrokers, please call UK toll free 0808 234 6211 or email mail@camstock.com.au.
