Redbank Energy Limited (ASX: AEJ) (REL) requests an immediate trading halt in respect of its shares.
On Saturday 5 October 2013, REL's wholly owned subsidiary Redbank Project Pty Ltd (Redbank Project) was notified by its secured lenders of the appointment of receivers to Redbank Project, Redbank Construction Pty Ltd, and the shares in Redbank Project held by Redbank Project Holdco Pty Ltd.
REL requests that the trading halt remain in place until the commencement of normal trading on
Wednesday 9 October 2013.
REL otherwise expects to end the trading halt once it has had an opportunity to fully consider the impact of these appointments. Subject to discussions with its lenders over the next 48 hours, which Redbank Project is trying to convene, a suspension may be requested following the end of the trading halt.

REL is not aware of any reason why the trading halt should not be granted. Yours faithfully
Richard Butler

Director and Company Secretary
