David Jones : DJS - David Jones Scheme Meeting Postponed Until 14 July 2014

David Jones Limited (DJS) today announced it has postponed its Scheme Meeting relating to the Woolworths Holdings Limited (WHL) proposal until 14 July 2014. The WHL proposal is to acquire all of the David Jones shares on issue for $4.00 cash per share (WHL Proposal). The Scheme Meeting has been postponed following lodgement of a substantial shareholder notice by Australian Retail Investments Pty Ltd (ARI) yesterday, confirming that entities associated with Solomon Lew hold 9.89% of David Jones shares.
David Jones, with the agreement of WHL, applied to the Federal Court seeking the two week postponement of the Scheme Meeting. The Court has granted this postponement to allow sufficient time for the David Jones Board to assess the implications of ARI's shareholding in David Jones for shareholders.
The Scheme Meeting will now be held on Monday 14 July 2014 at the Wesley Conference Centre, 220
Pitt Street, Sydney, commencing at 10.00 am. The time for determining eligibility to vote at the Scheme Meeting will now be 7.00 pm on Saturday 12 July 2014. Signed and completed proxy forms must be received by 10.00 am Saturday 12 July 2014.
David Jones will send a letter to all shareholders advising them of this postponement and will continue to keep shareholders updated of any further developments in accordance with its continuous disclosure obligations. Any developments could include a further postponement of the Scheme Meeting.

Set out as Annexure A is an updated timetable for the remainder of the Scheme process.
