National Australia Bank Limited (NAB) | 4:04 pm, Friday 8 August 2008
National Australia Bank Limited (NAB) has received a request from Hassle Free
Share Sales Pty Ltd (Hassle Free) for a copy of NAB's register of
shareholders. The register is a public document containing shareholders'
details (including the number of shares held and address details of
individual shareholders). NAB is obliged to provide Hassle Free with these
details, under the Corporations Act.
Hassle Free has contacted shareholders of other Australian listed companies
with unsolicited offers to purchase their shares at a price below the current
market price.
The Australian Securities and Investments Commission (ASIC) has previously
advised shareholders to be aware of the pitfalls associated with unsolicited
offers to purchase shares, and have provided a 'safety checklist' to assist
shareholders in assessing such offers (available from www.fido.gov.au).
Further details on dealing with unsolicited share purchase offers can also be
obtained from ASIC by contacting 1300 300 630.
If shareholders receive an offer from Hassle Free for NAB shares,
shareholders
should:
- read the offer document carefully;
- compare the offer price against the market price of NAB shares; and
- seek independent advice from a qualified professional advisor before making
any decisions about selling their NAB shares.
NAB's market share price is published in the financial pages of major
newspapers and is available from the NAB website (www.nab.com.au) or from the
ASX (www.asx.com.au, code: NAB). The ASX website also provides details on how
to find a licensed broker.
If you have any questions regarding unsolicited offers, please contact our
share registry, Computershare on 1300 367 647.
