TP09/083
The Panel has made an interim order in respect of the application by Australian Style Investments Pty Ltd in relation to the affairs of Multiplex Prime Property Fund (see TP09/78).
Brookfield Multiplex Capital Management Limited, the responsible entity of the Fund, had previously undertaken not to allot or issue units under the entitlement offer (or process any applications under the related cash-out facility) unless, among other things, the proceedings are terminated, or the Panel is given two business days' notice if the undertaking is to be withdrawn (see TP09/81). On 23 October 2009, Brookfield Multiplex and the Fund announced that Brookfield Multiplex had given notice.
The interim order is in similar terms to the undertaking and is to maintain the status quo pending the Panel's determination of the application.
A copy of the interim order is attached.
