Regulatory Approvals Update 
 
 
On 23 December 2009, Amcor Limited announced that the consultation process with 
the European Works Council relating to Amcor acquiring certain parts of Alcan 
Packaging from Rio Tinto PLC has been successfully completed. 
 
 
Following completion of the European Works Council consultation, Rio Tinto Plc 
has formally signed the Sale and Purchase Agreement. 
 
 
On 29 December 2009, Amcor announced that the US Department of Justice 
terminated the Hart-Scott-Rodino premerger waiting period, allowing Amcor to 
acquire substantially all of the operations of Alcan Packaging and limiting its 
ongoing review to Alcan's Medical Flexibles operations in the US. 
 
 
A decision on whether Amcor is able to acquire Alcan's Medical Flexibles 
operations in the US will be made following a detailed review of the market by 
the US Department of Justice. 
 
 
In summary, regulatory approvals have been granted in Europe, United States, 
Australia, Canada, Russia, Turkey and Ukraine. 
 
 
In Europe, Amcor has agreed to divest two plants and in the US, Amcor has agreed 
to hold back on acquiring four plants. 
 
 
The decision of the US Department of Justice allows the acquisition to proceed 
on all of the operations except Alcan's Medical Flexibles operations in the US.
