Share Buy-Back October 2007

On 28 August 2007 Foster's announced its intention to buy back up to $250 million of Foster's Shares through an off market buy-back tender process (the Buy Back).

In order to be eligible to participate in the Buy-Back, the Foster's Shares (Shares) must be registered in your name as at Thursday, 6 September and you must not be an Excluded Foreign Person. Further, you cannot participate in the Buy-Back in respect of any Limited Employee Shares that you hold.

You are deemed to be an Excluded Foreign Person if you hold Shares and you are a person:

  1. to whom Foster's would be prohibited from paying money pursuant to:
    1. the Banking (Foreign Exchange) Regulations 1959 (Cth);
    2. Part 4 of the Charter of the United Nations Act 1945 (Cth);
    3. the Charter of the United Nations (Terrorism and Dealings with Assets) Regulations 2002 (Cth);
    4. the Charter of United Nations (Sanctions - Afghanistan) Regulations 2001 (Cth);
    5. the Charter of the United Nations (Sanctions - Iraq) Regulations 2006 (Cth);
    6. the Criminal Code Act 1995 (Cth); or
    7. any other act, rule or regulation prohibiting Foster's from making payments to foreign persons;
  2. who resides in a foreign jurisdiction where it would be:
    1. illegal under the laws of that jurisdiction; or
    2. in Foster's opinion, excessively onerous, costly and/or time consuming, to permit shareholders residing in that jurisdiction to participate in the Buy Back.

Without limitation, Foster's has determined Excluded Foreign Persons to include any person who is (or is acting for the account or benefit of a person who is) in the United States, a US Person or a resident of Canada.
