7 JULY 2021 - Condition fulfilled, offer unconditional, offer closes 7.00PM (Sydney time) 15 July 2021
In relation to its off-market takeover bid for all the ordinary shares in Devine that it does not already own (Offer), CRI, a wholly owned subsidiary of CIMIC Group Limited (CIMIC), has:
- received valid acceptances in respect of at least 75% (by number) of the Non-Associated Shares; and
- a Relevant Interest in at least 90% (by number) of the Devine Shares on issue.
Accordingly, the “minimum acceptance” condition to the Offer has been fulfilled, and the Offer is now unconditional.
As the Offer is now unconditional, Devine Shareholders whose valid acceptances have already been received by CRI will be paid their consideration under the Offer by 7 business days after today’s date.
All other Devine Shareholders who accept the Offer before the end of the Offer Period will be paid the consideration under the Offer by 7 business days after receipt of their valid acceptance.
As the “minimum acceptance” condition to the Offer has been fulfilled, CRI is entitled to proceed to compulsorily acquire Devine Shares not acquired under its Offer. Devine Shareholders who have their shares compulsorily required will only be paid the offer consideration following the end of the compulsory acquisition process. Devine Shareholders who wish to be paid sooner should accept CRI’s Offer before the Offer closes.
CRI has declared its Offer, at $0.24 cash per Devine share, to be its last and final Offer Price, the Offer Price will not be increased. The Offer is at a 100% premium to the last closing price of Devine Shares prior to the Announcement Date of 12 cents per share.
As set out in Devine’s Target’s Statement dated 28 June 2021, the independent expert appointed by the Devine Board has concluded that the Offer is fair and reasonable, and the directors of Devine have unanimously recommended that its shareholders accept the offer in the absence of a superior proposal. As noted in Devine’s Target’s Statement, none of the directors of Devine are independent of CIMIC.
Enclosed with this Fourth Supplementary Bidder’s Statement in accordance with section 630(5)(b) of the Corporations Act are:
- a notice under section 630(4) of the Corporations Act that the condition to the Offer has been fulfilled; and
- a notice under section 630(3) of the Corporations Act of the status of the condition.
TIMETABLE AND PROCESS
The Offer is scheduled to close at 7.00pm (Sydney time) on 15 July 2021, unless it is extended or withdrawn by CRI in accordance with the Corporation Act.
