    The New Hydrodec Shares due to Virotec shareholders will be allotted today. Dealings in the New Hydrodec Shares are expected to commence
at 8.00am on 25 June 2008. Fractional entitlements to New Hydrodec Shares will be retained and sold in the market for the benefit of the
Enlarged Group. Cheques for those Virotec Shareholders who will receive cash as full or part settlement will be sent no later than 14 days
after the Effective Date.
