WESFARMERS LIMITED - CAPITAL RETURN AND SHARE CONSOLIDATION

Participating Organisations are advised that an annual general meeting of shareholders will be held on Thursday, 7 November 2013, at which shareholders of Wesfarmers Limited (the "Company") will vote on resolutions to approve a $579 million capital reduction and a 1 for
0.9876 consolidation (the "Consolidation") of the Company's fully paid ordinary shares and partially protected shares.
If both resolutions are approved by shareholders, the capital reduction will be effected by way of a return of capital to each registered holder of fully paid ordinary shares and partially protected shares in the Company as at 7:00 pm AEDT (4:00pm WST) on Friday, 15
November 2013 the amount of $0.50 per fully paid ordinary share and partially protected share held at that time, calculated on a pre-consolidation basis (the "Capital Return").
The Consolidation will involve the conversion of every one ordinary share on issue into
0.9876 ordinary shares in the Company, and every one partially protected share into 0.9876 partially protected shares in the Company. Where the Consolidation results in a shareholder having a fractional entitlement to a share, the Company will round up the entitlement to the next whole number of shares.
The indicative timetable for the Capital Return and Consolidation is as follows:

ASX is not able to disseminate a corporate action message in relation to the Capital Return and therefore trading on ASX Trade will not be tagged XC (ex-return of capital). The corporate action message is disseminated via a Reconstruction and the trading on ASX Trade will be tagged Reconstructed (RE) from Monday, 11 November 2013.
Payment of the Capital Return to shareholders will be by way of direct credit to the financial institution in Australia, New Zealand or the United Kingdom (including a bank, building society or credit union account) as registered by the shareholder. Participating Organisations processing a transfer that results in a new shareholding prior to the record date (Friday, 15 November 2013) are requested to advise their clients to provide their bank account details online at www.wesdirect.com.au prior to 7:00 pm AEDT (4:00pm WST) on Friday, 15 November 2013.
For further details, please refer to the Company's notice of annual general meeting lodged with ASX on 26 September 2013.
