Dear Sir/Madam
Notification pursuant to section 671B of the Corporations ActWe act for Ferrovial Services Australia Pty Limited (the Bidder), a wholly owned subsidiary of Ferrovial S.A..
We refer to the off-market takeover bid by the Bidder to acquire all of the shares in Broadspectrum Limited (the Target) (the Offer) and the institutional acceptance facility established by the Bidder (the Facility) on the terms set out in Eighth Supplementary Bidder's Statement dated 6 April 2016 which supplements the Replacement Bidder's Statement dated 23 December 2015 (as otherwise supplemented or amended) (the Bidder's Statement).
We attach an ASIC Form 604 (Notice of change of interests of substantial holder) in relation to a change in relevant interests held by the Bidder as a result of acceptances of the Offer.
Since the previous notice given in relation to the Facility dated 29 April 2016, the aggregate (after deducting any withdrawals of acceptances or acceptance instructions) of:
the number of Target shares in respect of which the Bidder has received acceptance instructions under the Facility as at 7pm (Sydney time) on 29 April 2016 (in the form of acceptance forms and/or directions to custodians to accept the Offer); and
the number of Target shares in which the Bidder has a relevant interest, has changed from 31.21% to 59.26% of Target shares on issue.
The following table shows separately and in aggregate the change in those two categories.
Number of Target shares | % of Target shares | |||
Previous notice | Current notice | Previous notice | Current notice | |
Shares subject to the Facility | 116,537,794 | 111,252,191 | 22.74% | 21.71% |
Relevant interest | 43,378,416 | 192,415,560 | 8.46% | 37.55% |
Total | 159,916,210 | 303,667,751 | 31.21% | 59.26% |
awsp A0136134971v1 120461162 2.5.2016
Shares which are the subject of the Facility do not at this stage constitute formal acceptances of the Offer (and may be withdrawn). Accordingly, the Target shares in which the Bidder has relevant interests (as set out in the table above and reported in the attached ASIC Form 604) do not include the Target shares which are the subject of the Facility. Further details regarding the Facility including preconditions to the facility operator releasing the facility acceptances can be found in the Eighth Supplementary Bidder's Statement dated 6 April 2016.
The Bidder reminds Target shareholders that unless the Bidder achieves acceptances in respect of more than 50.01% of all Target shares (including under the Facility) by 7 p.m. (Sydney time) on 2 May 2016 or the Offer is otherwise extended in accordance with the Corporations Act, the Offer will lapse and Target shareholders will no longer be able to accept the Offer, all acceptances received under the Offer will be of no effect, and no Offer consideration will be paid.
Yours faithfully
