2 JULY 2021 - ACCEPTANCES LIFT DVN HOLDING TO 81.54%; OFFER CLOSES 15 JULY
CIMIC Group Limited (CIMIC), and its wholly owned subsidiary CRI, have now received acceptances under CRI’s offer to acquire all of the ordinary shares in Devine that CRI does not already hold (Offer) which bring its Relevant Interest in Devine Shares to 81.54%.
Given CRI’s position as the majority holder of the Devine Shares on issue, there is unlikely to be an alternative proposal for Devine.
CRI’s LAST AND FINAL offer is at a price of $0.24 cash per Devine Share (Offer Price) and is open. CRI encourages investors to ACCEPT it as soon as possible.
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.
CRI’s Offer remains subject to a “minimum acceptance” condition which will be fulfilled if at the end of the Offer Period, CRI 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.
The Offer is scheduled to close at 7.00pm (Sydney time) on 15 July 2021, unless it is extended or withdrawn by CRI in accordance with the Corporations Act 2001 (Cth).
Devine Shareholders should read this document, the Replacement Bidder’s Statement and Devine’s Target’s Statement in their entirety. If in any doubt as to how to deal with the Offer or this document, Devine Shareholders should consult their legal, financial or other professional advisers as soon as possible. If Devine Shareholders have any queries about the Offer, they may also call the CIMIC Offer Information Line on 1300 560 339 (for calls made within Australia) or +61 2 8011 0354 (for calls made from outside Australia) between 9.00am and 5.00pm (AEST) Monday to Friday.
This Third Supplementary Bidder’s Statement has been approved by a resolution passed by the directors of CRI.
