ASX & MEDIA RELEASE
16 FEBRUARY, 2005

NOVOGEN PATENT LICENCE TO SOLAE NOW TRANSFERRED TO ADM

The licence covering Novogen patent rights to soy isoflavones,
which was with the DuPont joint venture company Solae LLC,
has now been transferred to Archer Daniels Midland Company (ADM).

ADM has assumed the rights and obligations formerly held by Solae,
including royalty and milestone payments under the Novogen licence.

ADM is one of the world's largest processors of soybeans,
and has over 26,000 employees, more than 250 processing plants
and net sales for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2004
of over $US 36 billion.

The transfer of the Novogen patent licence and certain
other business of Solae to ADM consolidates ADM's position
as one of the world leaders in the soy industry.

The Novogen licence to ADM is worldwide, other than for
Australia and New Zealand.

Novogen CEO Christopher Naughton said the transfer of the
licence coincided with the settlement of litigation
initiated by Solae against ADM, and was facilited by
Novogen's consent to the transfer.
