BRAMBLES LIMITED - DIVIDEND REINVESTMENT PLAN 
 
 
As a result of today's announcement of CHEP USA's new service and quality 
offering, the Board of Brambles has decided to amend the rules of Brambles' 
Dividend Reinvestment Plan (DRP) and to implement changes to the administration 
of the DRP as it applies to the 2009 final dividend (Dividend). These changes 
are being made to provide participants in the DRP with the opportunity to take 
into account today's announcement before making a final decision on whether to 
participate in the DRP for the Dividend or to take the Dividend in cash. 
 
 
The amendments to the DRP rules: 
 
 
  *  give Directors discretion to extend the period of time (Withdrawal Period) 
  during which shareholders can withdraw their participation in the DRP beyond the 
  proposed record date for a dividend; 
  *  give Directors discretion to determine that the issue or transfer of shares 
  pursuant to the DRP take place after the Withdrawal Period on a date they 
  determine and which falls after the proposed dividend payment date; and 
  *  clarify that the pricing period for the DRP may be set or reset by the Directors 
  at any time prior to the end of the Withdrawal Period. 
 
 
 
The amendments to the DRP are shown marked up on a copy of the DRP rules 
available on Brambles' website at www.brambles.com: go to "Investors and Media", 
"Dividends". 
 
 
The changes to the administration of the DRP which the Board has decided to 
implement for the Dividend are: 
 
 
  *  To extend the Withdrawal Period by which existing DRP participants for the 
  Dividend can withdraw from the DRP to 16 October 2009; 
  *  To set an alternative pricing period for the Dividend of 12 October to 23 
  October 2009; 
  *  To issue the DRP shares at the lower of the price per share calculated for the 
  original pricing period of 22 September to 5 October 2009 and the alternative 
  pricing period, less the 2.5% discount announced on 20 August 2009; 
  *  To issue shares under the DRP to shareholders who elect to remain in the DRP on 
  27 October 2009; and 
  *  To pay the cash dividend to shareholders who elect to withdraw from the DRP on 
  27 October 2009. 
 
 
 
There is no change to the payment date of the Dividend for all shareholders who 
are not presently participants in the DRP, which is 8 October 2009. 
 
 
A copy of a letter which will be sent to all DRP participants is available on 
Brambles' website at www.brambles.com: go to "Investors and Media", "Dividends".
