CLASS ACTION PROCEEDING AGAINST SPOTLESS

24 February 2017

Spotless (ASX: SPO) has today been served with a representative proceeding filed in the Federal Court of Australia.

The proceeding has been filed on behalf of applicants, who bring the claim on behalf of themselves and shareholders who acquired an interest in Spotless' shares between 25 August 2015 and 2 December 2015.

The statement of claim includes allegations that Spotless' financial results for the financial year ended 30 June 2015 were misleading or deceptive and that Spotless breached its continuous disclosure obligations.

Spotless considers that it has at all times been in compliance with its continuous disclosure obligations and strongly denies these allegations. Spotless will vigorously defend the proceeding.
