    Refined Assumptions

    1.Capital Expenditure & Debt

    • Capex: Expected to reduce significantly after a peak investment phase (retooling, automation, sustainability).

    • FY23 Capex: ~$145M

    • Forward Capex: Management guides a material reduction toward$80M–$90M p.a.

    • Free Cash Flow (FCF): Likely to improve materially — higher earnings + lower capex = more cash to repay debt or return to shareholders.

    • Debt Reduction Potential: FY24 net debt ~$663M, with scope to reduce by ~$100M+ over 12–24 months if FCF strengthens.

    2.Implied Shareholder Value Uplift

    If we assume:

    • FY25 EBITDA = ~$270M

    • Capex = ~$85M

    • Interest = ~$50M

    • Tax = ~$35M

    • Normalized FCF = ~$100M/year

    With gearing declining and operating leverage improving, therisk profile of cash flows improves, which justifies a higherEV/EBITDA multipleandequity multiple.

    3.Updated Valuation Ranges

    a.EV/EBITDA Valuation (Revised)

    ScenarioEV/EBITDAEBITDAEVNet DebtEquity ValueShare Price (342M shares)
    1Conservative6.0x$270M$1.62B$663M$957M$2.80
    2Moderate/Base6.5x$270M$1.76B$663M$1.10B$3.22
    3Aggressive7.0x$270M$1.89B$663M$1.23B$3.59

    4.Control Premium Approach (Revised)

    Last public offer was$0.84/share. Applying arevised control premium of 40–50%, considering operational tailwinds and FCF outlook:

    • 40% → $0.84 × 1.40 = $1.18

    • 50% → $0.84 × 1.50 = $1.26

    But these are still backward-looking. Based on forward multiples and improved FCF profile, those premiums understate fair value.

    Revised Fair 100% Control Valuation

    Taking all into account (lower capex, deleveraging, forward EBITDA, strategic control, limited public float), areasonable acquisition rangeshould be:

    $2.75 – $3.25 per share

    This would value the company at:

    • ~$950M–$1.1Bin equity value

    • A forwardEV/EBITDA multiple of 6.5–7x, aligned with peers in packaging/logistics with improving capital intensity

    • Reflects optionality from future dividend reinstatement or capital returns
