Shareholders are referred to the announcement released on SENS on Thursday, 26 September 2013 (the
“firm intention announcement”) wherein shareholders were advised, inter alia, that a combined offer
circular containing full details of the offer to be made to Austro shareholders by Ricophase Proprietary
Limited (“Ricophase”) together with the persons with whom Ricophase is acting in concert or deemed to be
acting in concert (the “offeror”), and incorporating the Austro board’s view of such offer and the offer
consideration (the “circular”) would be posted to Austro shareholders within one month of the date of such

Shareholders are advised that due to unforeseen delays, the company together with the offeror will not be able to
post the circular to Austro shareholders within the stipulated time period. It is anticipated that the combined
offer circular will be posted to Austro shareholders on or about 5 November 2013, or as soon as reasonably
possible thereafter.
A further announcement will be released on SENS once the combined offer circular has been posted to Austro
