Computershare Asia Pacific

Hong Kong

• Mainly investor services, but growing plans opportunities (esp into China).

• Developing analytics and proxy opportunities.

• 80% market share, and dominant in large transactions (eg, Link REIT). Main competitor Tricor(owned by Bank of East Asia).

• Hot IPO market currently (Link REIT attracted over 400K applications).

India

• Mainly investor services, but analytics, proxy, print and mail opportunities being explored.

• Significant mutual fund record-keeping business.

• 35% market share in a very fragmented corporate investor services market (working on consolidation opportunities).

• IPO levels reasonable, but not as many privatisations as had been hoped for if BJP had been re-elected.

Malaysia

• Looked at investor services market, but very small and parochial.

Page 7: Investors & Analyst Briefing - computershare.com Investor and...Investors & Analyst Briefing March 2005. ... Document Services Plans Investor ... • Preliminary analysis of investor

New Zealand

• Mainly investor services.

• Unattractive tax environment for plans. Some analytics opportunities.

• 90% market share in investor services. Sole competitor (BK) recently sold to NZX and ASX Perpetual (50% each), and new owners clearly have plans to move it up-market.

• IPO and M&A levels reasonable.

Philippines

• Markets technology, and significant data capture and research provider to global analytics business.

• Have looked at local investor services market. Initial assessment is that it is very fragmented and highly manual, making a CPU entry difficult.

Korea

• Analytics and proxy distribution arrangement with local IR consultancy.

• Preliminary analysis of investor services market encouraging, but more research needed.

Computershare Asia PacificJapan

• Analytics and proxy distribution arrangements with a range of market players.

• Material interest from some investor services participants in CPU offering as the Japanese market opens up and dematerialises.

Singapore

• Mainly creative and client management for customer relationship services in Pepper / Stakeholder Relationship Group.

• Investor services mostly centralised in CSD, with limited opportunities for “commercial” services. However lack of innovation / service quality from CSD may drive change /create opportunities in the medium term

China

• Like Singapore, investor services centralised in CSD. CPU has a longstanding consulting / advisory relationship with CSD.

• Good flow of PRC IPOs to HK

• Limited PRC internal opportunities while RMB remains unremittable, except some cross-border facilitation.

Computershare Australia – market overview

• Very high level of M&A and capital management activities.

• Increased penetration of the Computershare “integrated solution”, especially in the M&A and

IPO spaces. Examples include Westfield triple stapling (processing, print and mail, analytics

and proxy), Newscorp redomicile (processing, analytics and proxy in Australia and USA; print

and mail in Australia), BHP Billiton Buy-back.

• Opportunities for integrated customer management solutions being explored (bringing together

processing and call-centre capacities of investor services, print and mail capacities of

Document Services, and analytical capacities of Pepper).

• Bringing Indian mutual fund (unit trust) capacities to Australian market to service existing book

of non-standard products and enter the currently under-serviced outsourced administration

service for collective investment schemes in Australia.

Computershare Australia – by business line

Investor Services

• 65% market share.

• Europe is still very much a collection of vastly differing markets – local knowledge is absolutely key.

• Harmonisation of EU financial markets is likely but uncertain – Euroclear SSE project still some way off (2008/10).

• Consolidation of exchanges / CSDs:• OM led through Scandinavia & the Baltics• Acquisition of LSE by Deutsche Bourse / Euronext.

• EU directives on prospectuses and cross border mergers - expected pick up in M&A activity in 2005/6.

• Sarbanes-Oxley driving many European issuers away from the US and back towards European markets.

• EU consultation on shareholder rights and overall drive for greater corporate governance may promote ‘UK model’ (though potentially not a UK Government priority) though registered shares appear to be becoming more common.

– CDS – adding value…

– Status of regional business units

– Global Summary

Page 52: Investors & Analyst Briefing - computershare.com Investor and...Investors & Analyst Briefing March 2005. ... Document Services Plans Investor ... • Preliminary analysis of investor

Story so far…

– Volumes internal/external have increased 3 fold since acquisition in 2000

– CDS had 3 stable facilities in 2 countries now has 10 in 4 countries (includes 2 Equiserve facilities)

– CDS external revenue streams are constant and annuity based providing resistance against the peaks and troughs in the capital markets

– Strategic acquisitions have supported coverage model (Perth) and provided competitive advantage in our service offering (Technology Partners Group)

Page 53: Investors & Analyst Briefing - computershare.com Investor and...Investors & Analyst Briefing March 2005. ... Document Services Plans Investor ... • Preliminary analysis of investor

Overall Business Model – how it works for CPU

– Start up viability: Internal volumes usually underpin 75% of startup cost base

– Long term viability: Within 3-5 years reach a 50/50 split of internal/external revenue

– Capability: External focus drives people skill, product and technology innovation & ensures competitiveness

– Integration: End to end systems/process’s integrate with CPU core systems. Increased efficiency in the upstream and downstream processes i.e. scanning, set up’s, document design.

– Leverage: Leverage the relationships with Blue Chip companies. Create scalable products/service offerings that can be delivered globally

Page 54: Investors & Analyst Briefing - computershare.com Investor and...Investors & Analyst Briefing March 2005. ... Document Services Plans Investor ... • Preliminary analysis of investor

Overall Business Model – Growth Strategy

– Internal sales - CIS/CPM - Outsourced Work – ensure no leakage- New Products – Quick Certs, Edgar filings, Quorum, Financial Print, Quarterly Reports

– External sales- Targeted client segments: energy, insurance, financial- Leverage all CPU business unit relationships

– Outsourcing / take over existing facilities

– Acquisitions

Page 55: Investors & Analyst Briefing - computershare.com Investor and...Investors & Analyst Briefing March 2005. ... Document Services Plans Investor ... • Preliminary analysis of investor

Overall Business Model – Lessons Learnt

– Inefficient in-house operations are the best targets for off-shore growth

– Large customers are sticky – In Australia we have seen very little movement of large accounts

– Large accounts have been won by using our Consultancy Methodologyto provide tailored communication solutions

– We invest in our people – client facing consultants that add value & provide differentiation – moves us from a commodity based price war.

– Not print & mail company BUT a stakeholder communications company
