Standard & Poor’s Announces Revised Timetable For Inclusion Of Sydney Roads Group In The S&P/ASX 50

Standard & Poor’s, the leading provider of equity indices in Australia, announces a revised timetable for the inclusion of Sydney Roads Group (ASX: SRG) in the S&P/ASX 50 and all related indices. This follows Macquarie Infrastructure Group’s (ASX: MIG) decision to amend its own timetable for its in-specie distribution of SRG shares to shareholders.

Due to the lag between the revised ex date (July 24, 2006) and the revised date the SRG shares are scheduled to start trading (July 31, 2006), Standard & Poor’s will now add a cash security, SRGX, to the S&P/ASX 50 and all related indices after the close of trade on Friday July 21, 2006.
