Results of Elections 
 
The Company received the following elections (including deemed elections) in 
connection with the Scheme: 
 
  * Rollover Option: 141,052,192 Shares 
 
  * Cash Option: 72,801,139 Shares 
 
The Cash Option, which is limited to 20 per cent. of the Shares in issue 
(excluding Shares held in treasury), was therefore oversubscribed. Accordingly, 
the Basic Entitlement of all Shareholders who have validly elected or deemed to 
have elected for the Cash Option will be accepted in full and Excess 
Applications for the Cash Option will be scaled back into New MUT Shares on a 
pro rata basis. Excess Applications will be satisfied to the extent of 
approximately 40.1 per cent. of the excess Applications made. 
 
In accordance with the Scheme, eligible Shareholders that made no Election have 
been deemed to have elected for the Rollover Option. 
 
Accordingly, after scaling back Excess Applications, 80 per cent. of the 
Company's Shares will rollover into Murray Income, with the balance taking the 
Cash Option. 
 
Therefore, the Shares will be reclassified as follows: 
 
  * 171,082,665 Shares with "A" rights, being the right to receive New MUT 
    Shares; and 
 
  * 42,770,666 Shares with "B" rights, being the right to receive cash. 
 
The amendment to the listing of the Shares has been requested and dealings in 
the Reclassified Shares are expected to commence at 8:00 a.m. on 16 November 
2020, and the listing and dealings in Reclassified Shares is subsequently 
expected to be suspended at 7:30 am on 17 November 2020. 
 
Defined terms used in this announcement have the meanings given in the Circular 
unless the context otherwise requires.
