GoldLink IncomePlus Limited 04 - Panel Makes Interim Orders

TP09/004

The Panel has decided to conduct proceedings and has made interim orders in relation to the application by Emerald Capital Limited dated 8 January 2009 (see TP09/02).

The interim order is to the effect that Emerald must not deliver any payment due to Fortina Pty Limited under its bid for GoldLink IncomePlus Limited until after the Panel has made a determination in respect of the application. Fortina, as trustee for numerous separate trusts, lodged acceptances in relation to each trust's holding of GoldLink shares on 4 January 2009. When Emerald would otherwise be required to pay Fortina, Emerald is required to place all of the funds that would be payable to Fortina in an interest bearing account until the determination of the application.

Based on the information available, the Panel limited its interim order to Fortina at this stage. A copy of the interim order is attached.
