BIL INTERNATIONAL LIMITED 2002-06-28 ASX-SIGNAL-G HOMEX - Sydney +++++++++++++++++++++++++ 28 June 2002 - Further to our announcement released on 12 April 2002, the Board of Directors of BIL International Limited ("BIL") wishes to confirm that BIL securities will be removed from quotation of the official list of Australian Stock Exchange ("ASX") on 1 July 2002. Thus, BIL securities will cease to trade on the ASX with effect from 1 July 2002 although the Australian register will continue to open for settlement of trades for 5 days from 1 to 5 July 2002 for trades transacted on the last trading day, 28 June 2002. Shares will be moved onto the New Zealand register at the close of business on 5 July 2002. Should Australian Shareholders require their shares to be sold in the week from 1 to 5 July 2002, they can contact their Australian share brokers who are able to request the transfer of BIL securities onto the New Zealand register to trade on the New Zealand market. As announced on 12 April 2002, BIL has made arrangements with its broker, JBWere Limited ("JBWere") in Australia to allow BIL shareholders who are currently on the Australian register of the company to sell their BIL Shares on the New Zealand Stock Exchange should they so desire. This trading arrangement, which will be operated through JBWere's Were OnCall division, will operate from 1 July 2002 to 31 December 2002.
