Australian Stock Exchange Company Announcements Platform 3 July 2006 UXC Limited ABN 65 067 682 928 MARKET ANNOUNCEMENT UXC Increases Interest in IT&e UXC Limited has today announced that it has increased its ownership interest in ASX listed Technology Company IT&e Limited. UXC Executive Chairman Geoff Lord commented that “UXC has had a substantial interest in IT&e for several years. We felt that the timing was right to once again increase that investment as the quality of the specialist risk management products developed and marketed by IT&e to top-tier global financial institutions does not seem to be reflected in its enterprise value. We also believe that UXC can be of some help in improving IT&e’s prospects, through such means as assisting to strengthen IT&e’s balance sheet and by providing support in a number of IT service areas.” The notice of change in substantial interest is attached hereto.
