Update for proposed acquisition of Class and SID amendment
HUB24 Limited ( HUB24 ) refers to its previous announcement on 18 October 2021 in relation to the entry into a Scheme Implementation Deed ( SID ) with Class Limited ( Class ) regarding HUB24’s proposed acquisition of 100% of the ordinary shares in Class by way of scheme of arrangement ( Scheme ). The proposed transaction remains on track in accordance with the illustrative timetable set out in that announcement.
-
HUB24 and Class have agreed to amend the SID to simplify the Scheme terms such that:
-
the cash consideration payable by HUB24 is increased from $0.10 to $0.125 per Class share;
-
• Class shareholders who receive HUB24 shares (1 HUB24 share for 11 Class shares) as a result of the Scheme being successfully implemented, will now be eligible for any HUB24 FY22 interim dividend determined and associated franking credits[1] ; and
-
Class will not declare any dividend, including any ordinary interim dividend of up to 2.5 cents per share in respect of FY22.
As a result, if the Scheme is successfully implemented, the scheme consideration payable by HUB24 under the Scheme will comprise of 1 HUB24 share for 11 Class shares and $0.125 per Class share, in each case, in respect of Class shares held on the scheme record date.
The proposed transaction is expected to accelerate HUB24’s platform of the future strategy, consolidating the Group’s position as a leading provider of integrated platforms, technology and data solutions for financial professionals and their clients.
