Centuria Offer for Primewest Declared Unconditional

SYDNEY (Friday, 4 June 2021) – Centuria Capital Group (“Centuria” or ASX:CNI) is pleased to announce:

  • Acceptances of Centuria’s off-market takeover offer to acquire all of the stapled securities in Primewest (“Centuria Offer”) now represents 76% of total Primewest securities

  • Centuria has waived all remaining conditions and the Centuria Offer is now unconditional

  • Primewest securityholders who have accepted the Centuria Offer will receive $0.20 in cash plus 0.473 Centuria securities for each Primewest security (“Offer Consideration”) within 5 business days

Since opening the Centuria Offer on 17 May 2021, Centuria has received total acceptances (including acceptance instructions held subject to the acceptance facility) which represent 76% of total Primewest securities.

Centuria announces that it has waived all remaining defeating conditions (with Primewest having consented to the waiver of the minimum acceptance condition) and has declared the Centuria Offer unconditional.[1]

The formal notice under section 650F of the Corporations Act 2001 (Cth) which frees the Centuria Offer from all outstanding defeating conditions is attached to this announcement by way of service pursuant to section 650F(3)(a) of the Corporations Act 2001 (Cth).

Centuria has also given written notice to the facility agent under the acceptance facility that the offers have been declared unconditional. Accordingly, the facility agent will now take the steps set out in the terms of the acceptance facility to cause the offers to be accepted in respect of the acceptance instructions as soon as possible.

Primewest securityholders who have already accepted the Centuria Offer will receive the Offer Consideration within 5 business days. Based on acceptances to date, this will result in the issue of 143 million new Centuria securities. Primewest securityholders who have not yet accepted the Centuria Offer will receive the Offer Consideration within 5 business days of acceptance of the Centuria Offer (provided that the Primewest securityholder accepts before the close of the Centuria Offer).

The offer period is scheduled to close at 7:00pm (Sydney time) on 24 June 2021 (unless extended).

John McBain, Centuria Joint CEO, said, “We are delighted at the significant response from Primewest securityholders and to be able to declare the offer unconditional.

We look forward to receiving further acceptances and to the completion of the offer, which has been unanimously recommended by the Primewest Board. Centuria’s expanded funds management platform will have enhanced geographic and sector diversification, enabling the merged group to take advantage of a broader range of acquisition opportunities.
