BAP announces close of Retail Entitlement Offer

On 15 June 2015, Burson Group Limited (BAP) announced a fully underwritten 7 for 15 accelerated renounceable entitlement offer (Entitlement Offer) of new ordinary shares (New Shares) at an offer price of A$2.85 per New Share to raise approximately A$218 million. The results of the institutional component of the Entitlement Offer were announced on 18 June 2015.

The retail component of the Entitlement Offer (Retail Entitlement Offer) closed on Monday, 6 July 2015. Eligible retail shareholders subscribed for approximately 17.1 million New Shares under the Retail Entitlement Offer (raising approximately A$48.9 million). This represents eligible shareholders’ taking up 85% of their entitlements.

Approximately 3.1 million New Shares (being equivalent in number to those New Shares not taken up in the Retail Entitlement Offer and New Shares that would have been offered to ineligible retail shareholders) will be offered for subscription through a Retail Shortfall Bookbuild (Retail Bookbuild). The Retail Bookbuild will commence after market close today.

The settlement date for the New Shares under the Retail Entitlement Offer and under the Retail Bookbuild is 15 July 2015. These New Shares are expected to be issued on 16 July 2015 and commence trading on ASX on 17 July 2015.
