    Press Release Standard & Poor’s Announces March Quarterly Rebalance To The S&P/ASX Indices Sydney, March 7, 2008—Standard & Poor’s Index Services, the leading provider of equity indices in Australia, today announced that the following constituent additions and deletions will take place in the S&P/ASX indices from the close of trade March 20, 2008. The March quarterly rebalance is the most comprehensive review of S&P/ASX indices, where each index portfolio from the S&P/ASX 20 through to the All Ordinaries index is reviewed in order to maintain a representative index suite. A full stock free-float review is also conducted at the March rebalance. S&P/ASX index methodology, together with sensible index governance, has limited the scope of index constituent changes despite severe market conditions. “Despite major volatility within the Australian market, the smoothing of stock-price information inherent in our methodology has limited the number of constituent changes to the S&P/ASX 200 portfolio,” said Simon Karaban, associate director at Standard & Poor’s Index Services. “We have maintained the cost-effectiveness of passive investment portfolios by successfully limiting index portfolio turnover within a volatile environment.” S&P/ASX 20 - No Change S&P/ASX 50 ADDITIONS FMG FORTESCUE METALS GROUP LTD LEI LEIGHTON HOLDINGS LIMITED WOR WORLEYPARSONS LIMITED REMOVALS AIO ASCIANO GROUP ALL ARISTOCRAT LEISURE LIMITED CNP CENTRO PROPERTIES GROUP S&P/ASX 100 For personal use only ADDITIONS TSE TRANSFIELD SERVICES LIMITED REMOVALS SIP SIGMA PHARMACEUTICALS

    Press Release Standard & Poor’s Announces September Quarterly Rebalance to the S&P/ASX Indices Sydney, September 5, 2008 — Standard & Poor’s Index Services, the leading provider of equity indices in Australia, today announced that the following constituent additions and deletions will take place in the S&P/ASX indices from the close of trade September 19, 2008. Both the S&P/ASX 200 and the S&P/ASX 300, together with component indices, are reviewed as part of the September quarterly rebalance. The quarterly rebalance considers the aggregate market capitalisation and liquidity of stocks for the preceding 6-months for 2008 as a basis for eligibility. “The aggregate out-performance of resources stocks relative to the broader market over the last 6-months has significantly boosted the index eligibility of resources firms, said Simon Karaban, associate director at Standard & Poor’s Index Services. “It therefore comes at no surprise that approximately 75% of the inclusions to the S&P/ASX 300 were resources-based securities, which includes energy and metals and mining stocks”.
