ASX & MEDIA RELEASE

21 JULY, 2011

NOVOGEN REACHES AGREEMENT TO SELL ITS CONSUMER PRODUCTS DIVISION

Novogen Limited (ASX: NRT NASDAQ:NVGN) announces it has entered into an agreement for the sale of its consumer products division. The sale remains subject to certain conditions but is expected to close within the next 60 days. The buyer and terms of the agreement were not disclosed.

In making the announcement the Company’s Chairman, William D Rueckert, said “As advised at both the Company’s AGM in October, 2010 and the EGM held in May, 2011 the Company has been looking at strategic alternatives for its consumer products business. While this business has grown over the past 12 months and is profitable, it does not fit with our longer term focus on therapeutic drug development programs primarily, through our majority owned subsidiaries Marshall Edwards, Inc. and Glycotex, Inc.”

“With this transaction we believe we will realise good value for our shareholders from a buyer which will continue the development of our successful brands. The Novogen Board is looking at opportunities for the reinvestment of the proceeds of the sale and will provide more information after the sale is completed.”
