I can't work out why people are having so much trouble, their options are simple:

1) Do nothing and you will end up with a Share Certificate for PRE shares for the same number of PM8 shares that you hold on Feb 19

2) Fill in the form and your shares will be sold for you and you will receive a Cheque in the mail

3) Contact your Broker and get them to open an International account and then transfer your PM8's to PRE's for you, (Note) You do need a Broker who trades on the LSE for this, otherwise open an account with a Broker who does eg: Comsec / IG / NAB etc and get them to transfer your shares for you.

4) Sell your PM8's on the ASX now or sometime before Feb 19,

If you still can't understand that, I suggest you go and ask your Wife / Accountant / Attorney / Guardian !
