Notice of change of relevant interests of substantial holder and change of interests under Institutional Acceptance FacilityWe act for Downer EDI Services Pty Limited (Downer Services), a wholly owned subsidiary of Downer EDI Limited (ASX:DOW) in relation to its off-market takeover offer for all of the ordinary shares in Spotless Group Holdings Limited (ACN 154 229 562) (Spotless) that it does not already own (the Offer) on the terms set out in the bidder's statement dated 21 March 2017, as replaced by the replacement bidder's statement dated 10 April 2017 and supplemented by the second supplementary bidder's statement dated 3 May 2017 and the notice of extension dated 22 May 2017 (the Bidder's Statement).
We refer to the institutional acceptance facility (the Facility) established by Downer Services on the terms set out in section 7 of the second supplementary bidder's statement dated 3 May 2017 (the Second Supplementary Bidder's Statement).
Since Downer Services' notice of change of relevant interests of substantial holder and change of interest under Institutional Acceptance Facility dated 24 May 2017, the aggregate (after deducting any withdrawals of acceptances or acceptance instructions) of:
the number of Spotless shares in respect of which Downer Services has received acceptance instructions under the Facility as at 7:30pm (Sydney time) yesterday (in the form of acceptance forms and/or directions to custodians to accept the Offer); and
the number of Spotless shares in which Downer Services has a relevant interest, has changed from 17.217% to 18.796% of Spotless shares on issue.
The following table shows separately and in aggregate the change in those two categories:

Total | 189,109,498 | 206,459,341 | 17.217% | 18.796% |
Note: Downer Services entered into a cash-settled equity swap with UBS AG Australia Branch, which as at the date of this notice, relates to a notional 54,804,679 Spotless Shares (equivalent to approximately 4.99% of the Spotless Shares currently on issue). Key terms of the cash-settled equity swap are described in the Notice ofInitial substantial holder lodged by Downer on 21 March 2017. The cash-settled equity swap does not give Downer Services or any Downer Group Company any relevant interest in the Spotless Shares.
Downer Services therefore has an interest equivalent to 23.786% in the issued share capital of Spotless, comprising its relevant interest and a further economic interest in 4.99% pursuant to the cash-settled equity swap.
Shares which are the subject of the Facility do not at this stage constitute formal acceptances of the Offer and may be withdrawn at any time prior to certain preconditions being met. Such preconditions require the Facility operator to receive confirmation from Downer Services that it has declared the Offer to be free of all Defeating Conditions (as defined in the Bidder's Statement) or that it will declare the Offer free of all Defeating Conditions not later than the time that all facility acceptances are processed (Confirmation). Accordingly, the Spotless shares in which Downer Services has relevant interests (as set out in the table above) do not include the Spotless shares which are the subject of the Facility. As soon as possible after (and not before) Downer Services provides the Confirmation to the Facility operator, the Facility operator must release the facility acceptances.
Further details regarding the Facility, including all relevant terms and the arrangements Downer Services has entered into to enable the operation of the Facility can be found in section 7 of the Second Supplementary Bidder's Statement.
We enclose an ASIC Form 604 (Notice of change of interests of substantial holder) in relation to the change in relevant interests held by Downer Services as a result of acceptances of the Offer.
Yours faithfully
