Dear Jill
Request for Voluntary Suspension
We refer to our request for a trading halt dated 1 June 2010 pending the release of an announcement to the market regarding a proposed acquisition and equity raising.
Pursuant to Listing Rule 17.2, we now request that the ASX grant a voluntary suspension in the ordinary shares of Orbital Corporation Limited (OEC) with immediate effect on the following basis:
·
The Company proposes to shortly make an announcement to the market regarding a proposed acquisition and equity raising.
·
The Company requests the voluntary suspension remain in place until the announcement in relation to the proposed acquisition and equity raising is released to the market. The Company expects that this will be prior to the commencement of normal trading on Thursday 10 June 2010.
·
The Company is not aware of any reason why the voluntary suspension should not be granted nor any other information necessary to inform the market about the requested suspension.
Yours faithfully
Ian Veitch
Company Secretary
