  • Improved joint proposal from AMP and AXA SA values AXA Asia Pacific Holdings (AXA AP) shares at A$6.221 – an A$0.88 per share increase – which reflects:

  • A$515 million (A$0.54 per share) increase in cash consideration, with AXA SA contributing A$415 million and AMP contributing A$100 million

  • If AXA AP independent directors do not accept and recommend revised proposal to minority shareholders and AXA AP does not execute legal 2 documentation by 21 December 2009, AMP and AXA SA will regard the AXA AP independent directors as having rejected it and the proposal will lapse
