TRANSACTION UPDATE Lodgement of Scheme Booklet
As announced to the ASX on 5 November 2014, MEO Australia Limited (ASX:MEO) (MEO) is
proposing a scheme of arrangement under which Neon Energy Limited (ASX:NEN) (Neon) will acquire all of the shares in MEO (Proposal).
MEO has today lodged with the Australian Securities Investment Commission (ASIC) a draft scheme booklet in relation to the recommended Proposal. ASIC's review of the scheme booklet will be followed by an initial Court hearing, expected to occur during December 2014, to approve the scheme booklet and make orders convening a scheme meeting of MEO shareholders. Once approved by the Court and registered with ASIC, the scheme booklet will be released publically, printed and dispatched to MEO shareholders. The scheme meeting is expected to take place on 2
February 2015. Accordingly, implementation of the scheme is anticipated to occur in the second half
of February 2015.
The dates relating to the scheme are indicative only and are subject to (among other things) the
Court approval process. Any changes to these dates will be announced.
