Buybsck details


"Due to the strong demand for the buy-back, a scale back of tenders is required. Shareholders who tendered their shares at a 14 per cent discount and/or as final price tenders, will have a priority allocation of 200 shares bought back before the scale back is applied. As a result of the 62.43 per cent scale back, successful shareholders will have 37.57 per cent of their shares tendered in excess of the priority allocation bought back. No tenders were excluded on the basis of a minimum price condition.
To ensure that registered shareholders with small holdings are not disadvantaged, the scale back has been structured so that successful shareholders who tendered all of their shares at a 14 per cent tender discount and/or as a final price tender and who would be left with 80 shares or less as a result of the priority allocation and scale back, will have all of their shares bought back in full.
For shareholders who have successfully tendered their shares, A$22.31 of the buy-back price is treated for Australian tax purposes as a fully franked dividend. For Australian capital gains tax purposes, the deemed capital proceeds are A$7.39, being the A$2.50 capital component plus A$4.89, being the excess of the Tax Value3 over the buy-back price."
