    Progen to propose M&A deal or return of all capital
    11:30, Monday, 24 November 2008

    Sydney - Monday - November 24: (RWE Australian Business News) -
    Progen Pharmaceuticals Ltd (ASX:PGL) chairman Dr Mal Eutick told this
    morning's annual meeting that the company would announce, within 45 days
    from today, terms of an M&A transaction able to deliver a value to
    shareholders in excess of a $1.10 per share.
    This would be prior to January 14 and was likely to require
    shareholder approval.
    "At this point, we envisage that part of any deal would involve
    a capital return to shareholders," he said.
    "Should this not occur, the board will recommend that the entire
    capital of the company (less liabilities and allowances for the
    continuing statutory and other costs) be returned to shareholders.
    "This is a sum we currently estimate by February to be
    approximately $70m, or about $1.10 per share," Dr Eutick said, adding
    that this would also require shareholder approval.
    "This places a considerable time pressure on the company to
    aggressively bring possible M&A opportunities to this stage and for us
    to be able to convince you, our shareholders, that such an M&A
    transaction is in your best interest.
    "To ensure that all of this is done quickly, we are able to
    announce today the appointment of PriceWaterhouseCoopers as our advisers
    for this task," he told the meeting.
