On 29 July, 2005 the Panel announced that it had extended the deadline by which Precinct Investments Limited (“Precinct”) must either announce an offer for Jurys Doyle under Rule 2.5 of the Takeover Rules or announce that it will not proceed with an offer for Jurys Doyle to 5.00 p.m. on 19 August, 2005.

Following a request from Precinct for an extension of this deadline, the Panel has consented to an extension of the deadline until 5.00 p.m. on 2 September, 2005.  The board of Jurys Doyle has confirmed to the Panel that it is supportive of such an extension.
