ASX RELEASE

6 April 2017

SECOS finalises Akronn divestment, improves balance sheet

Highlights:

  • SECOS finalises divestment of Akronn Industries joint venture in Malaysia, satisfying warranty period

  • Reversal of $286,000 warranty provision booked in FY16 leaves SECOS with notably improved balance sheet

Sustainable and eco-friendly packaging company SECOS Group Limited (ASX: SES, “the Company”) is pleased to advise that the Company has received confirmation that escrow conditions in relation to the divestment of its equity interest in Akronn Industries Sdn Bhd (Akronn) are no longer required.

As announced in June 2016, the Company had entered into a share sale agreement (Agreement) for the disposal of its 50.8% equity interest in Akronn, a manufacturer of silicone coated film products in Malaysia, to Itasa Servicios Generales SL (ITASA), a Spanish manufacturer of high quality release liners.

As part of the divestment, the Company made a provision to allow for any unforeseen warranty claim related to Akronn.

As such a provision is no longer required, SECOS will benefit from the reversal of a liability of $286,000 booked in FY16. This will improve the Company’s balance sheet notably in FY2017.
