The Board of Treasury Wine Estates Limited (ASX:TWE or the "Company") announces that it has rejected a preliminary, indicative, non-binding and conditional proposal to acquire all of the shares of TWE at a price of $4.70 cash per share from Kohlberg Kravis Roberts & Co. L.P. ("KKR") by way of a scheme of arrangement.

KKR requested that the proposal be kept confidential. The Board of TWE decided that, in order to have meaningful discussions with KKR, it was important to preserve the confidentiality of the proposal and that premature disclosure would be contrary to the interests of TWE shareholders, especially given the highly conditional nature of the proposal.
