ASX Announcement

Settlement of Callinans first earn-out
IPH is pleased to announce that the Callinans business acquired by its subsidiary Fisher Adams Kelly Pty Limited in November 2015 has achieved a first earn out payment of $2m based on earnings from key clients since acquisition as agreed with the sellers as part of its acquisition.
Accordingly the sellers are entitled to a first earn-out payment to be satisfied 50% by the issue of new shares in IPH and 50% in cash. IPH has therefore today issued 143,248 new IPH shares to the sellers at an issue price of $6.98/share (with all of those shares being escrowed until November 2017). The remainder of the first earn-out payment has been settled in cash. A potential second and final earn out payment of up to $1m (to be settled in cash) remains to be determined after 2 May 2017.
