Ausdrill Limited (ASX: ASL) refers to its announcement dated 19 May 2016 and is pleased to confirm that it has successfully completed the sale of its Drilling Tools Australia ("DTA") business to Robit Plc with effect from today.

Under the terms of the Sale and Purchase Agreement, the full purchase price for the shares of $66 million is to be paid by Robit in two tranches being:
