Class Action - IMF (Australia) Ltd ("IMF") is proposing to fund a class action against the Commonwealth and others for losses caused by alleged misfeasance in public office leading to the collapse of Pan Pharmaceuticals Ltd (in liquidation) in April 2003 - to participate in the action to be funded by IMF, you must have suffered loss as a result of the actions of the Commonwealth. You may have held an interest in Pan Shares on 28 April 2008. You may have been a Sponsor or other creditor and have submitted a proof of debt to Pan's liquidator. If you are a Sponsor or other creditor of Pan, you need to show claims submitted (or which IMF considers you would have been entitled to submit) to the liquidator in excess of AUD $50,000 (excluding applicable GST) - for further details see www.imf.com.au or email Tim McLernon to request a pack at tmclernon@imf.com.au or contact Tim McLernon on 1800 016 464 on or before Monday, 13 October 2008

a third interim dividend is paid to creditors (the first was 10 cents, the second 5 cents) at the rate of 10 cents in the dollar - based on current estimates, payment of a fourth and final dividend in the range of 5 to 9 cents in the dollar should be possible following receipt of the balance of the settlement amount from Mr Selim, and once the proceedings in relation to the assigned causes of action against the TGA have concluded - this may not occur until after April 2010

23/07/2008

the Liquidators and Jim Selim reach a settlement and the proceedings have now been dismissed - under the terms of the settlement, which remain confidential, Mr Selim has agreed to pay a sum of money to the Liquidators and the Liquidators have assigned all Pan's causes of action against the TGA to Mr Selim - the Liquidators have also agreed to provide reasonable assistance to Mr Selim in respect of those causes of action in connection with any reasonable request for the provision of information

on 31 October 2006, the Federal Court of Australia ruled in favour of a Pan Sponsor in relation to a trade practices claim for loss of future profit - the Liquidators appealed the judgement at a appeal hearing before the Full Federal Court on 31 July and 1 August 2007 - judgment has been reserved and is likely to be several months before it is available - declaration of a further interim dividend has been delayed until the judgment is available - if the appeal is successful, a further dividend of 5 cents in the dollar is likely to be paid by the end of the year - should the appeal fail, the extent of any additional claims will need to be ascertained before any further dividend is declared

01/08/2007

Jim Selim pleads not guilty in the Supreme Court of New South Wales in Sydney in relation to four charges brought by ASIC - ASIC alleges Mr Selim gave information to the directors of Pan Pharmaceuticals that he knew omitted certain details, which rendered the information misleading in a material respect - a trial date of 15 October 2007 was set down for the matter to be heard before the Supreme Court of New South Wales

As the mediation remains adjourned, the Liquidators and the CoI continue to monitor opportunities for further engagement with Mr Selim"

31/07/2006

19/12/2003

in response to the question as to whether any legal action contemplated could be taken on behalf of the company and therefore join other stakeholders, in particular shareholders, the liquidator informs us any funds flowing from a successful action would (after payment of costs) firstly be available to creditors and shareholders would only receive a benefit if there were surplus monies after paying creditors in full - based on current information, it seems unlikely that sufficient potential recoveries could be made to pay creditors in full - therefore, it would appear extremely unlikely that shareholders would ultimately benefit from such an action

26/09/2003

founder Jim Selim and the Australian Workers Union today launched a double headed legal action against liquidator Tony McGrath - the case will be heard in the Supreme Court of NSW on October 13 and 14 - it appears the argument is all about the swag of 470 proxy votes submitted by the Selim/Bart camp prior to the creditors meeting which were mostly rejected by McGrath, who said they showed insufficient proof of claim
