Scheme Booklet

A copy of the explanatory statement (Scheme Booklet) is required to be sent to Scheme
Shareholders, as approved by the Court.


The Scheme Booklet sets out details of the Scheme, including how Scheme Shareholders can vote at the Scheme Meeting.

Central will today lodge the Scheme Booklet with the Australian Securities and Investments
Commission for registration.

The Scheme Booklet, notice of the Scheme Meeting and instructions on how to vote will be sent
to Scheme Shareholders either by post or electronically on 5 May 2017 and also released to the
ASX.

Recommendation of Independent Expert

The Scheme Booklet includes an independent expert’s report prepared by Ernst & Young
Transaction Advisory Services Limited (Independent Expert).

The Independent Expert has concluded in its report that the terms of the Scheme are fair and reasonable and that, accordingly, the Scheme is in the best interests of Scheme Shareholders.

Recommendation of directors

Central’s board of directors has unanimously recommended that Scheme Shareholders vote in favour of the Scheme, and each member of the board of directors intends to vote all of their Scheme Shares in favour of the Scheme, in the absence of a superior proposal.
