ASX Announcement

ONTHEHOUSE AND CONSORTIUM ENTER INTO SCHEME IMPLEMENTATION AGREEMENT

  • Consortium acquisition of all of the shares in Onthehouse not already held by a Consortium member, via a scheme of arrangement
  • Cash consideration of \$0.85 per share
  • Independent Board Committee unanimously recommends all shareholders vote in favour of the Consortium Offer
  • Scheme is subject to various conditions

Wednesday 6 July, 2016: Onthehouse Holdings Limited (ASX:OTH) (Onthehouse) announces that it has entered into a scheme implementation deed (Scheme Implementation Deed) with a consortium of investors comprising PIQ1 Pty Ltd and Macquarie Corporate Holdings Pty Limited (both whollyowned subsidiaries of Macquarie Group Limited) and 77 Victoria Street Trust and Sandrift Pte Limited (entities of which Michael Dempsey and Daniel Dempsey are each affiliated) (Consortium).

The Scheme Implementation Deed provides for the acquisition by the Consortium of all of the equity in Onthehouse not already owned by members of the Consortium through a scheme of arrangement (Scheme) for cash consideration of \$0.85 per Onthehouse share. This consideration represents a premium of:

  • 54% over the 90 day volume-weighted average price of \$0.552 to 22nd December 2015 (two days before the Consortium's initial proposal was announced by Onthehouse on 24 December 2015 and one day after the release of the Notices of initial substantial holder by each of Corelogic Australia Holdings Pty Ltd and the Macquarie Group Entities);
  • 50% over the 30 day volume-weighted average price to 22nd December 2015 of \$0.567;
  • 47% over the closing price of \$0.580 on 22nd December 2015;
  • 11% over the 30 day volume-weighted average price of \$0.765 to Tuesday 5 July 2016; and
  • 13% over the Consortium's initial proposal of \$0.755 per Onthehouse share announced by Onthehouse on 24 December.

Unanimous Recommendation of the Independent Board Committee

As advised to the market on 11 March 2016, Onthehouse formed an independent board committee (IBC) which excluded Michael Dempsey and Daniel Dempsey, to consider the Consortium's proposal. Following its consideration of the proposal and negotiations with the Consortium, the IBC now unanimously recommends, in the absence of a superior proposal and subject to an independent expert concluding that the Scheme is in the best interests of Onthehouse shareholders, that shareholders vote in favour of the Scheme. Subject to those same qualifications, each independent director of the IBC intends to vote all Onthehouse shares controlled or held by, or on behalf of, that director in favour of the Scheme.

The chairman of Onthehouse and of the IBC, Mr Tony Scotton, said:

"We are pleased to have agreed to recommend a transaction that offers a significant premium to shareholders of Onthehouse. The Consortium's proposal, if implemented, provides shareholders with an immediate and significant increase in value without the risks inherent in transitioning our Console platform to become a cloud, software-as-a-service offering – something that we believe is critical for the platform to retain its strong position in the market. The IBC has, therefore, unanimously concluded that it is in the best interests of shareholders to enter into the Scheme Implementation Deed."

Onthehouse has appointed Lonergan Edwards as the independent expert to opine on whether the Scheme is in the best interests of shareholders and to provide the independent expert's report.

Scheme Implementation Deed

A copy of the Scheme Implementation Deed is attached to this announcement.

The Scheme Implementation Deed contains terms which are customary for a transaction of this nature, including 'no shop' and 'no talk' provisions, a 'matching right' for the Consortium to match any superior proposal put forward by a third party, and a break fee of \$0.72 million payable by Onthehouse in certain circumstances where the Scheme does not proceed.

Implementation of the Scheme remains subject to customary conditions, including, in summary:

  • the Court ordering that a meeting of Onthehouse shareholders be convened;
  • Onthehouse shareholders approving the Scheme by the requisite majorities being:
  • a majority in number of shareholders who are eligible to vote, present and voting (either in person or by proxy); and
  • at least 75% of the total shares voted, noting that the members of the Consortium and their affiliates (who have a relevant interest in 19.23% of Onthehouse shares) are not eligible to vote;
  • Court approval of the Scheme at the second court hearing (Second Court Hearing);
  • no material adverse change and no prescribed occurrence occurring before date of the Second Court Hearing; and
  • no material legal restraint or prohibition, preventing or delaying the completion of the proposed transaction is in effect 2 hours before the Second Court Hearing,

in each case, as set out in the Scheme Implementation Deed.

Indicative Timetable and Next Steps

No action is required by Onthehouse shareholders at this time.

A scheme booklet (Scheme Booklet) is expected to be sent to Onthehouse shareholders in September 2016. The Scheme Booklet will contain information relating to the proposed transaction, the reasons for the IBC's unanimous recommendation, details of the shareholder meeting and other matters relevant to Onthehouse shareholders' vote on the Scheme.

It is anticipated that Onthehouse shareholders will have the opportunity to vote on the proposal at a meeting to be held in October 2016. Subject to Court approval and the conditions of the Scheme being satisfied, the Scheme is expected to be implemented in October 2016.

These dates are indicative and subject to change.

Advisers

Onthehouse is being advised by TMT Partners and Allier Capital as joint financial advisers and Gilbert + Tobin as legal adviser.

If the Scheme is not approved by OTH Shareholders at the Scheme Meeting by reason only of the non-satisfaction of the Headcount Test and OTH or the Consortium Members consider, acting reasonably, that Share Splitting or some abusive or improper conduct may have caused or contributed to the Headcount Test not having been satisfied then OTH must:

(a) apply for an order of the Court contemplated by section 411(4)(a)(ii)(A) of the Corporations Act to disregard the Headcount Test and seek Court

approval of the Scheme under section 411(4)(b) of the Corporations Act, notwithstanding that the Headcount Test has not been satisfied; and

3.7 Conditions not capable of being fulfilled

  • (a) If:
  • (i) any Condition is not satisfied or (where capable of waiver) waived by the date specified in this deed for its satisfaction (or an event occurs which would or is likely to prevent a condition precedent being satisfied by the date specified in this deed);
  • (ii) a circumstance occurs with the result that a Condition is not capable of being fulfilled and, if the Condition is able to be waived by a party under clause 3.2, the party does not waive the Condition within seven Business Days after the occurrence of the circumstance; or
  • (iii) the Scheme does not become Effective by the End Date and a Superior Proposal has not been publicly recommended by a majority of the Independent Directors,

then OTH and the Consortium Members must consult reasonably with a view to determining whether:

  • (iv) the Scheme may proceed by way of alternative means or methods;
  • (v) to extend the relevant time or date for satisfaction of the Condition;
  • (vi) to change the date of the application to be made to the Court for orders under section 411(4)(b) of the Corporations Act approving the Scheme or adjourning that application (as applicable) to another date agreed by the parties; or

  • (b) Subject to clause 3.7(c), if OTH and the Consortium Members are unable to reach agreement under clause 3.7(a) within five Business Days of the date on which they both become aware that the Condition has become incapable of being satisfied (or, if earlier, by the Delivery Time on the Second Court Date), then unless the relevant Condition (where capable of waiver) is waived:
  • (i) in relation to the Condition in clauses 3.1(c) (Restraints) or 3.1(d) (Shareholder approval) the Consortium Members or, subject to clause 3.6, OTH may terminate this deed by giving the other parties notice without any liability to any party by reason of that termination alone;

  • (ii) in relation to the Conditions in clauses 3.1(a) (No OTH Prescribed Occurrence), 3.1(b) (No OTH Material Adverse Change) the Consortium Members may terminate this deed by giving OTH notice without any liability to any party by reason of that termination alone.

  • (c) A party will not be entitled to terminate this deed pursuant to clause 3.7(b) if the relevant Condition has not been satisfied as a result of:
  • (i) a breach of this deed by that party; or
  • (ii) a deliberate act or omission of that party which either alone or together with other circumstances prevents that Condition being satisfied.

3.8 Interpretation

For the purposes of this clause 3, a Condition will be incapable of satisfaction, or incapable of being fulfilled if there is an act, failure to act or occurrence that will prevent the Condition being satisfied by the End Date (and the breach or non-fulfilment that would otherwise have occurred has not already been waived in accordance with this deed).

13.6 OTH's response to Rival Acquirer and the Consortium Members' right to respond

  • (a) If OTH is permitted by virtue of clause 13.7 to engage in activity that would otherwise breach any of clauses 13.3, 13.4(a), 13.4(b) and 13.5(b)(i), OTH must enter into a confidentiality agreement with the person who has made the applicable Competing Proposal (Rival Acquirer) on customary terms.

OTH must not make an announcement regarding the matters in clause 13.6(b)(i) or enter into any agreement, commitment, arrangement or understanding set out in clause 13.6(b)(ii):

  • (iii) unless the Competing Proposal is bona fide; and
  • (iv) until each of the following has occurred:
  • A. the Independent Directors have made the determination contemplated by clause 13.7(b) in respect of that Competing Proposal;
  • B. OTH has given the Consortium Members written notice (Relevant Notice) of the Independent Directors' proposal to take the action referred to in clauses 13.6(b)(i) or 13.6(b)(ii) (subject to the Consortium Members' rights under clause 13.6(d));
  • C. subject to 13.6(c), OTH has given the Consortium Members all information that would be required by clause 13.5(b) as if it was not subject in any way to clause 13.7;
  • D. the Consortium Members' rights under clause 13.6(d) have been exhausted; and

  • (c) Prior to giving the Consortium Members the Identifying Details, OTH must advise the Rival Acquirer that the Rival Acquirer's name and other details which may identify the Rival Acquirer will be provided by OTH to the Consortium Members on a confidential basis. If consent is refused, OTH may withhold the Identifying Details from the Consortium Members if the Independent Directors, acting in good faith believe that failing to do so would be likely to result in the Competing Proposal being withdrawn.
  • (d) If OTH gives a Relevant Notice to the Consortium Members under clause 13.6(b)(iv)B, the Consortium Members will have the right, but not the obligation, at any time during the period of 3 Business Days following the receipt of the Relevant Notice, to amend the terms of the Proposed Transaction including increasing the amount of consideration offered under the Proposed Transaction or proposing any other form of transaction (each a Counter Proposal), and if they do so then the Independent Directors must review the Counter Proposal in good faith. A Counter Proposal may be made by some or all of the Consortium Members. If the Independent Directors determine that the Counter Proposal would be more favourable, or at least no less favourable, to OTH and the OTH Shareholders than the Competing Proposal (having regard to the matters noted in clause 13.7(b)), then OTH and the Consortium Members (including any Consortium Members who are not participating in the Counter Proposal) must use their best endeavours to

agree the amendments to this deed that are reasonably necessary to reflect the Counter Proposal and to enter into an amended agreement to give effect to those amendments and to implement the Counter Proposal, and OTH must recommend the Counter Proposal to the Shareholders and not recommend the applicable Competing Proposal.

13.7 Fiduciary out

The restrictions in clauses 13.3, 13.4(a) and 13.4(b) and the obligations in clauses 13.5(a) and 13.5(b)(i) do not apply to the extent they restrict OTH or any Independent Director from taking or refusing to take any action with respect to a Competing Proposal (in relation to which there has been no contravention of clauses 13.1 or 13.2) provided that:

  • (a) the Competing Proposal is bona fide and is made by or on behalf of a person that the Independent Directors reasonably consider is of sufficient commercial standing to implement the Competing Proposal; and
  • (b) the Independent Directors have determined in good faith after:
  • (i) consultation with OTH's financial advisers; and
  • (ii) receiving written advice from OTH's external Australian legal adviser practising in the area of corporate law,

that: (A) the Competing Proposal is or may reasonably be expected to lead to a Superior Proposal and (B) failing to take the action or refusing to take the action (as the case may be) with respect to the Competing Proposal would be likely to constitute a breach of the fiduciary or statutory obligations of the Independent Directors.

  • (b) written notice is given to OTH (or the Share Registry) of an order or direction made by a court of competent jurisdiction that prevents OTH from making a payment to any particular Scheme Shareholder in accordance with clause 5.2(b), or such payment is otherwise prohibited by applicable law, OTH may retain an amount equal to the number of Scheme Shares held by that Scheme Shareholder multiplied by the Scheme Consideration until such time as payment in accordance with this clause 5 is permitted by that order or direction or otherwise by law,

and the payment or retention by OTH (or the Share Registry) will constitute the full discharge of OTH's obligations under clause 5.2(b) with respect of the amount so paid or retained until, in the case of clause 5.6(b), it is no longer required to be retained.

5.7 Definition of 'sending'

  • (a) sending by ordinary pre-paid post or courier to the Registered Address of that Scheme Shareholder as at the Record Date; or

6 Dealings in Shares

6.1 Determination of Scheme Shareholders

  • (b) in all other cases, registrable transmission applications or transfers in respect of those dealings are received at the place where the Share Register is kept on or before the Record Date,

and OTH will not accept for registration, nor recognise for any purpose (except a transfer to PIQ1, MacCap or Sandrift under this Scheme and any subsequent transfer by any of the Consortium Members or their respective successors in title), any transfer or transmission application or other request received after such times, or received prior to such times but not in registrable or actionable form, as appropriate.

6.2 Register

  • (a) (Registration of transfers) OTH must register registrable transmission applications or transfers of the kind referred to in clause 6.1(b) by or as soon as reasonably practicable after the Record Date (provided that for the avoidance of doubt nothing in this clause 6.2 requires OTH to register a transfer that would result in an OTH Shareholder holding a parcel of Shares that is less than a 'marketable parcel' (as defined in the Settlement Rules)).
  • (b) (No registration after Record Date) OTH will not accept for registration or recognise for any purpose any transmission application or transfer in respect of Shares received after the Record Date, other than to PIQ1, MacCap or Sandrift in accordance with this Scheme and any subsequent transfer by any of the Consortium Members or their respective successors in title.
  • (c) (Maintenance of Share Register) For the purpose of determining entitlements to the Scheme Consideration, OTH must maintain the Share Register in accordance with the provisions of this clause until the Scheme Consideration has been delivered to the Scheme Shareholders. The Share Register in this form will solely determine entitlements to the Scheme Consideration.

  • (d) (No disposal after Record Date) From the Record Date until registration of PIQ1, MacCap and Sandrift in respect of all Scheme Shares under clause 4.2, no OTH Shareholder may dispose or otherwise deal with Shares in any way except as set out in this Scheme and any attempt to do so will have no effect and OTH shall be entitled to disregard any such disposal or dealing.

  • (e) (Statements of holding from Record Date) All statements of holding for Shares will cease to have effect from the Record Date as documents of title in respect of those shares. As from the Record Date, each entry current at that date on the Share Register will cease to have effect except as evidence of entitlement to the Scheme Consideration in respect of the Shares relating to that entry.
  • (f) (Provision of Scheme Shareholder details) As soon as practicable after the Record Date and in any event within one Business Day after the Record Date, OTH will ensure that details of the names, Registered Addresses and holdings of Shares for each Scheme Shareholder are available to the Consortium Members in the form they reasonably require.

7 Quotation of Shares

  • (a) OTH will apply to ASX to suspend trading on the ASX in Shares with effect from the close of trading on the Effective Date.
  • (b) On a date after the Implementation Date to be determined by the Consortium Members, and only after the transfer of the Scheme Shares has been registered in accordance with clause 4.2(c), OTH will apply:
  • (i) for termination of the official quotation of Shares on ASX; and
  • (ii) to have itself removed from the official list of ASX.

8 General Scheme Provisions

8.2 Binding effect of Scheme

This Scheme binds OTH and all Scheme Shareholders (including those who did not attend the Scheme Meeting, those who did not vote at that meeting, or voted against this Scheme at that meeting) and, to the extent of any inconsistency, overrides the constitution of OTH.

8.4 Warranties by Scheme Shareholders

  • (a) Each Scheme Shareholder is deemed to have warranted to OTH, in its own right and for the benefit of each of PIQ1, MacCap and Sandrift, that as at the Implementation Date:
