Acceptances tendered after 4:00 p.m. on Friday, 3 February 2012 will only be valid if the Offers are revised or extended. If Joy Global decides to extend the Offers, an announcement will be made stating the next closing date or that the Offers will remain open until further notice. In the latter case, at least 14 days' notice in writing will be given before the Offers are closed, to those IMM Shareholders and IMM Optionholders who have not accepted the Offers and an announcement will be published. Acceptances of the Offers shall be irrevocable and not capable of being withdrawn except in the circumstances set out in the paragraph headed "Right of Withdrawal" in Appendix I to the Composite Document.

(4) The consideration payable for the IMM Shares and the Share Options under the Offers will be posted by ordinary post to the IMM Shareholders and IMM Optionholders that accept the Offers at their own risk as soon as possible, but in any event within 10 days of the date of receipt by the receiving agent, Computershare Hong Kong Investor Services Limited, (in respect of the Share Offer) or the Company Secretary of IMM (in respect of the Option Offers) of all relevant documents necessary to render the acceptance under the Offers complete and valid.

WARNING: If the level of acceptances reaches the level prescribed under the Companies Law of the Cayman Islands (as amended), and if Rule 2.11 of the Takeovers Code permits a compulsory acquisition and Joy Global proceeds with the privatisation of IMM, dealings in the securities of IMM will be suspended from the closing date of the Offers (or such later time or date as Joy Global may, subject to the rules of the Takeovers Code, decide) up to the withdrawal of listing of IMM's securities from the Stock Exchange pursuant to Rule 6.15 of the Listing Rules. If, at the close of the Offers, less than 25% of the IMM Shares are held by the public or if the Stock Exchange believes that: • a false market exists or may exist in the trading of the IMM Shares; or • there are insufficient IMM Shares in public hands to maintain an orderly market, then the Stock Exchange may exercise its discretion to suspend dealings in the IMM Shares. In this connection, it should be noted that upon completion of the Offers, there may be insufficient public float for the IMM Shares and therefore trading in the IMM Shares may be suspended until a prescribed level of public float is attained.

The directors of IMM jointly and severally accept full responsibility for the accuracy of the information contained in this announcement (other than that relating to Joy Global and Bidco) and confirm, having made all reasonable enquires, that to the best of their knowledge, opinions expressed in this announcement (other than those expressed by Joy Global or Bidco or any directors of Joy Global or Bidco) have been arrived at after due and careful consideration and there are no other facts not contained in this announcement, the omission of which would make any statement in this announcement misleading.

In accordance with Rule 3.8 of the Takeovers Code, the respective associates (including any person who owns or controls 5% or more of any class of relevant securities (as defined in Note 4 to Rule 22)) of Joy Global, Bidco and IMM are reminded to disclose their dealings in IMM Shares pursuant to the requirements of the Takeovers Code. Reproduced below is the full text of Note 11 to Rule 22 of the Takeovers Code:

"Responsibilities of stockbrokers, banks and other intermediaries

Stockbrokers, banks and others who deal in relevant securities on behalf of clients have a general duty to ensure, so far as they are able, that those clients are aware of the disclosure obligations attaching to associates and other persons under Rule 22 and that those clients are willing to comply with them. Principal traders and dealers who deal directly with investors should, in appropriate cases, likewise draw attention to the relevant Rules. However, this does not apply when the total value of dealings (excluding stamp duty and commission) in any relevant security undertaken for a client during any 7 day period is less than $1 million.

This dispensation does not alter the obligations of principals, associates and other persons themselves to initiate disclosure of their own dealings, whatever total value is involved.

Intermediaries are expected to co-operate with the Executive in its dealings enquiries. Therefore, those who deal in relevant securities should appreciate that stockbrokers and other intermediaries will supply the Executive with relevant information as to those dealings, including identities of clients, as part of that cooperation."
