ASX information

Please click here for detailed information on Peplin, Inc. from the Australian Securities Exchange.

Securities trading

As a result of Peplin's October 2007 restructuring in the United States as Peplin, Inc., the electronic transfer system used on the ASX, known as CHESS, cannot be used directly for the transfer of securities of foreign companies. To enable companies such as Peplin to have their securities cleared and settled electronically through CHESS, depositary interests called CDIs are issued.

CDIs confer beneficial ownership in foreign securities, legal title to the securities being held by a depositary, CHESS Depositary Nominees Pty Limited (CDN), a subsidiary of ASX. CDI holders receive all of the economic benefits of actual ownership of the underlying shares or options. Peplin's shares and options now trade on the ASX as CHESS Depositary Interests (CDIs) at an exchange ratio of 20:1.

For more information on CDIs, including the rights and entitlements of CDI holders, please contact Peplin via info@peplin.com or call David Smith, the Chief Financial Officer, at +61-7-3250-1200.

For information on converting your shares to CDIs or vice versa, please see below.

Peplin's Australian and United States share register is maintained by Computershare, a world leader in financial services and technology provider for the global securities industry, managing more than 100 million shareholder and employee accounts for over 14,000 corporations in 17 countries on five continents.
