Brambles confirms the ongoing separation of its IFCO RPC business

Sydney – 18 February 2019: In response to media speculation today relating to a possible sale of Brambles’ IFCO business, Brambles refers to its statement made on 24 August 2018 announcing its intention to separate its IFCO RPC business via a dual track demerger or sale process.

Brambles confirms the separation process is on track and is expected to be completed during 2019. Whilst the assessment of sale interest is at an advanced stage, the processes are incomplete and both the demerger and sale work streams are continuing.

Brambles will inform the market of the any relevant developments on the IFCO separation in accordance with its continuous disclosure requirements.
