Vocus Communications Limited (ASX:VOC) is pleased to confirm that following its announcement on 25 July 2014 concerning progress with its offer for the shares of FX (Offer), it will, today, issue its formal offer document to FX Shareholders.
In connection with the Offer, Vocus has been granted an exemption by the New Zealand Financial Markets Authority from having to issue a prospectus in connection with the shares in Vocus to be issued to shareholders in FX (as part consideration for their FX shares to be acquired by Vocus (Exemption)). The information set out below is provided pursuant to the Securities Act (Vocus Communications Limited) Exemption Notice 2014 (NZ).
As required as a condition to the Exemption, Vocus confirms that:
(1) its offer to issue shares in Vocus to the FX shareholders pursuant to the Offer is being made to eligible shareholders of FX in reliance upon the Exemption, (which replicates the exclusion in clause 19 of Schedule 1 of the Financial Markets Conduct Act 2013 (NZ)); and
(2) as at the date of this announcement and the Offer, Vocus is in compliance with:

(A) the continuous disclosure obligations that apply to it pursuant to the listing rules of the ASX in relation to the existing equity securities of the same class as the Vocus Shares issued pursuant to the Offer; and

(B) all requirements imposed under:

(i) statute to prepare financial statements (or group financial statements) in relation to Vocus (or its group), to have those statements audited, and to lodge or register those statements; and
(ii) the listing rules of the ASX in relation to providing financial statements for Vocus for release to the market in relation to any more recent interim accounting period than the period to which the statements referred to in paragraph (i) apply.
Vocus is incorporated in Australia and listed on the ASX. It may not be subject in all respects to New Zealand law. Investors should satisfy themselves as to the tax implications of investing in an Australian company.
