Dear Sir / Madam

Acquisition of TSF Engineering

Envirozel Limited (ASX: EVZ) is pleased to announce it has entered into negotiations under a non binding offer to acquire the business of TSF Engineering.

TSF Engineering is a Sydney based operation which specialises in the design and installation of power generation equipment, communications equipment and marine installations. TSF operates throughout Australia, Asia and the Pacific region.

Established in 1966, TSF Engineering has a proven history of profitability and has completed significant contracts for an impressive client list including:

  • St George Bank

  • Westpac Bank

  • Investa

  • IBM

  • Tabcorp

  • Tenix

  • Global Switch

  • New Children’s Hospital, Westmead

  • Australian Department of Defence

  • Royal Brisbane Hospital

  • Northern Territory Electricity Commission

The acquisition is subject to:

  • The satisfactory completion of a comprehensive Due Diligence process.

  • Execution of a purchase agreement for the business.

  • Envirozel Limited shareholders approval (if deemed necessary).

Envirozel Limited Chairman, Mr Gordon McKern stated;

“The proposed acquisition of the business of TSF Engineering follows on from our recent successful acquisition of the National Engineering business. The TSF Engineering acquisition would increase the Envirozel Group’s annualised turnover to in excess of $100 million. In addition, Envirozel will pursue synergies between the operating businesses and anticipates significant organic growth will occur within all the operating businesses in the coming years”.

The TSF Engineering business will meet Envirozel’s acquisition criteria, which is as follows:

  • Well established, profitable companies with good management

  • Minimum of five years profitability

  • Transaction size up to $25 million

  • Must have strong organic growth potential

Mr McKern further stated:

“TSF Engineering is a profitable operation which will provide the Envirozel Group with a geographic entry into the lucrative Sydney and NSW market”.

“TSF Engineering will also provide many opportunities for the other businesses in the Envirozel Group and vice versa”.

Finally, Mr McKern stated:

“Envirozel believes the acquisition of TSF Engineering is expected to be earnings per share accretive”.

The anticipated acquisition cost of the TSF Engineering business is in the vicinity of $14 million.

Envirozel Limited will in due course provide the market with further information on the progress of this acquisition in line with the ASX’s continuous disclosure requirements.

Yours faithfully

Ian Wallace Company Secretary
