ASX & MEDIA ANNOUNCEMENT
BUSINESS UPDATE
17 March 2008
SHERATON MIRAGE PORT DOUGLAS
MFS Limited (ASX: MFS) confirms its subsidiaries, in their capacity as trustees of the
Blue Sky Development Trust, have entered into exclusive negotiations for the sale of a
number of Port Douglas assets.
The assets include the Sheraton Mirage Resort, Mirage Country Club and Golf Course,
two development sites and the Balé resort.
MFS has been engaged in discussions with several interested parties since it
commenced an international sales campaign for the assets in September 2007. This
process resulted in expressions of interest from a number of potential purchasers.
MFS believes that the proposal presented by the potential purchaser with which it is in
exclusive negotiations with would, if consummated, represent the best outcome for
stakeholders in the Blue Sky Development Trust in the current circumstances. There is
no guarantee that any binding sale agreements will eventuate from the current
negotiations.
MFS will update the market further should binding sale agreements be executed.
SENIOR UNSECURED NOTES
MFS has received a statement of claim from Challenger Managed Investments Ltd
alleging a breach of the subscription agreement in relation to the issue of Senior
Unsecured Notes (which are due November 2011).
MFS has endeavoured to resolve disagreements in relation to the terms of the Notes
through negotiation with Challenger during recent weeks.
MFS strongly denies there has been any breach and will resist the claim vigorously.
MFSG STAPLED SECURITIES
MFS also confirms that the Queensland Public Trustee, as trustee for the listed
unsecured MFSG Stapled Securities, issued legal proceedings seeking information from
