Result of Open Offer

Following a 1 for 8 Open Offer announced by Aminex on 30 June 2009 (the "Open Offer") which closed at 11.00 a.m. on 4 August 2009, the Company announces that applications have been received for 38,297,790 New Ordinary Shares and accordingly the Open Offer was oversubscribed by approximately 26.5%. All entitlements will be met and excess applications will be scaled back pro rata. Consequently, the maximum number of 30,266,841 Open Offer Shares will be issued under the Open Offer.

Application has been made to the Irish Stock Exchange and to the UK Listing Authority for 30,266,841 New Ordinary Shares to be issued pursuant to the Open Offer to be admitted to the Official List of the Irish Stock Exchange and the Official List maintained by the UK Listing Authority. Application has also been made to the Irish Stock Exchange and the London Stock Exchange for admission of such New Ordinary Shares to trading on their respective main markets for listed securities. It is expected that admission will become effective and that dealings in the New Ordinary Shares will commence at 8.00 a.m. on 10 August 2009.

Unless otherwise defined, capitalised terms in this announcement have the same meaning as in the Prospectus dated 17 July 2009.

Commenting, Aminex chairman Brian Hall said: "We are very pleased with the strong interest expressed in the Open Offer which, together with the placing announced on 30 June, will put Aminex in a strong position going forward".
