PROMINA GROUP LIMITED(PMN)

delisted following the merger of the company with Suncorp-Metway Limited and redemption of the company's reset preference shares

we understand that in connection with the merger of Promina with Suncorp, the final factor was unchanged from the indicative adjustment factor announced on 12 March 2007 - on implementation of the scheme, for each Promina share, Promina ordinary shareholders received $1.80 cash and 0.2703 Suncorp Shares (Suncorp subsequently received advice from the Australian Taxation Office which confirmed that the market value of a Suncorp share for taxation purposes, at the merger date of 20 March 2007, was $21.1043)

the company has paid a $100,000 fine following an investigation by the Australian Securities and Investments Commission (ASIC) into an alleged failure to comply with the continuous disclosure obligations contained in the Corporations Act - the company failed to inform ASX that it had received a proposal from Suncorp-Metway Limited to acquire all the ordinary shares of Promina

Suncorp-Metway Limited (Suncorp) advises that it has today allotted 280,279,063 fully paid ordinary shares to Promina scheme shareholders - holding statements for the shares, together with payment advices for the cash component of the scheme consideration, have been despatched today

for capital gains tax purposes scrip-for-scrip rollover is available to the extent that Promina shareholders exchanged their shares for Suncorp shares but rollover relief is not available for the cash amounts received - the capital gain/loss is calculation depends on if investors choose roll-over (then they work out their capital gain - if they received any cash - by subtracting a portion of the cost base of their Promina shares from the value of cash that they received) and if roll-over does not apply (then investors work out their capital gain or loss by comparing the total cost base of their Promina shares with the total value, as at the disposal date, of the cash and/or shares that they received) - the acquisition cost of new Suncorp shares calculation depends on whether investors choose roll-over (they work out the acquisition cost of their new Suncorp shares by allocating a portion of the cost base of their Promina shares to it) or to the extent that roll-over does not apply (the acquisition cost of investors' new Suncorp shares is $20.4218 per share) - the disposal date of the Promina shares was 20 March 2007
