Sydney, Dec 14, 2007 AEST (ABN Newswire) - CommSec is offering the opportunity to invest in PrimeAg Australia Limited (PrimeAg, the Company). PrimeAg Australia Limited will own and operate quality Australian agricultural land and water entitlements with a view to produce income and long-term capital growth through the production of soft commodities.

PrimeAg is seeking to raise A$300 million through the issue of 150 million Shares at a price of A$2.00 each. Applications must be for a minimum of 1,000 (A$2,000) Shares and in increments of 250 Shares (A$500) thereafter.

CommSec is a Co-manager to the Offer and is inviting clients to apply for Shares in PrimeAg.

Investment Highlights

- Exposure to the growing global demand for soft commodities

- Agricultural commodity prices are not strongly correlated with Australian share prices on the ASX. This creates the opportunity for portfolio diversification.

- Geographic spread of properties over 1,200 km mitigates climatic risk.

- Price risk is mitigated through the production of a diverse range of commodities and having the ability to switch between these commodities in response to price movements or climatic changes.

- Production is further secured through the ownership of irrigation water entitlements.

- Economies of scale and innovative "Hub" structure makes PrimeAg a globally competitive low cost producer of agricultural commodities.

- An experienced Board and management team with the skills and vision to build a significant Australian agricultural company.

- Sustainability focus on efficient water use, efficient chemical use, reduced carbon emissions, efficient nitrogen use and increased carbon sequestration.
