Indicative Takeover Proposal

Brisbane, Nov 20, 2012 AEST (ABN Newswire) - WestSide Corporation Limited (googlechartASX:WCL) has received an indicative, conditional, non-binding and confidential proposal from a party which has conducted extensive due diligence on the Company.

This proposal involves the acquisition of 100 per cent of the shares in WestSide for cash consideration of 52 cents a share.

The Board has not yet formed a view on the indicative offer price and advises shareholders to take no action at this time while the Board assesses the proposal.

In the meantime WestSide is facilitating access to final due diligence information which the party submitting the proposal has requested.

The Board has agreed with the party which has submitted the proposal that WestSide will not solicit proposals from other parties for a three week period to allow time for further due diligence and negotiation.

Uncertainty remains as to whether any binding proposal which might be acceptable to the WestSide Board will eventuate.

WestSide will keep the market informed of any material developments in accordance with its disclosure obligations.
