1 Response to Fourth Supplementary Bidder's Statement
Atlas Arteria notes the Fourth Supplementary Bidder's Statement released by the Bidder on 3 June 2026 (Fourth Supplementary Bidder's Statement).
1.1 Extension of Offer Period – Offer continues to be highly conditional
In the Fourth Supplementary Bidder's Statement, the Bidder extended the Offer Period by one week, to 7.00pm (Sydney Time) on 18 June 2026.
As a result of the extension of the Offer Period, the Bidder has stated that the date on which it will give a Notice of Status of Conditions is now 11 June 2026 (unless the Offer Period is extended further).
The Bidder did not otherwise vary the Offer.
The Offer remains subject to extensive Conditions. The Bidder did not waive any of those Conditions in the Fourth Supplementary Bidder's Statement, nor did the Bidder give notice of the satisfaction of any Conditions.
1.2 Timing of the extension of the Offer Period – Low level of acceptances
The Bidder gave notice of the extension of the Offer Period one day before the date on which it would otherwise have been required to give its Notice of Status of Conditions.
The Notice of Status of Conditions requires the Bidder to disclose its Voting Power in Atlas Arteria. The Bidder thus avoided the need to disclose this information by extending the Offer Period one day prior.
However, it is apparent that the Bidder has at best received a low level of acceptances of its Offer. Any increase in the Bidder's Voting Power (combined with votes attached to ALX Securities subject to the IAF Triggering Condition) of 1% must be announced on ASX on the next trading day. No such increase has been announced by the Bidder at the time of this Supplementary Target's Statement.
1.3 No urgency to accept
The Independent Directors recommend that ALX Securityholders REJECT the Offer at $4.75 and at $5.10.
However, even if ALX Securityholders are inclined to accept the Offer, there is no urgency to do so - ALX Securityholders will know whether the Bidder declares its Offer unconditional at least seven days before the end of the Offer Period.
1.4 The Bidder can pay more
In its Third Supplementary Bidder's Statement, the Bidder committed to reducing the Offer Price for any distributions paid or declared during the Offer Period. However, the Bidder has not made an equivalent statement about its approach to acquiring ALX Securities after the end of the Offer Period. Therefore, after the Offer Period (currently scheduled to end on 18 June 2026), the Bidder is not precluded from acquiring ALX Securities on terms under which ALX Securityholders may receive:
- up to $5.10 from the Bidder; plus
- the value of any ordinary distributions; plus
- the value of any special distributions by Atlas Arteria.
Importantly, Atlas Arteria has confirmed its ordinary distribution guidance of 40.0cps in 2026 and also confirms that proceeds from any asset sales would be available to be returned to ALX Securityholders.¹
Atlas Arteria customarily pays distributions in October and March/April.
2 Additional information
2.1 Date of the Supplementary Target's Statement
This Supplementary Target's Statement is dated 5 June 2026, which is the date on which it was lodged with ASIC and provided to ASX.
2.2 ALX Securityholders to seek independent advice
Atlas Arteria encourages ALX Securityholders to read the Target's Statement (including the Independent Expert's Report and the First Supplementary Target's Statement) in full and consider the Offer having regard to your personal circumstances. ALX Securityholders should also seek any independent financial, legal, tax or other professional advice that you require before taking any action in respect of the Offer.
