The primary purpose of today’s EGM is to obtain Shareholder approval for the proposed acquisition of Open Office that was announced on 6 November 2020.
As set out in the Notice of Meeting dated 15 February 2021, if Shareholder approval is obtained, we expect completion of the acquisition to occur on 23 March 2021 and an ASX announcement will be released at that time confirming that completion has taken place.
At the time that ReadyTech announced the proposed acquisition of Open Office in November 2020, it also announced that it intended to conduct a Share Purchase Plan in 2021 in connection with the potential completion of the acquisition of Open Office, to allow eligible ReadyTech Shareholders an opportunity to acquire additional shares in ReadyTech.
If the acquisition of Open Office is approved by Shareholders today, ReadyTech intends to announce further information regarding the Share Purchase Plan next week in connection with the completion of the acquisition.
As announced on 6 November 2020, Shareholders eligible to participate in the Share Purchase Plan are those Shareholders who were on the ReadyTech register at 7:00pm (Sydney time) on 5 November 2020, with a registered address in Australia or New Zealand.
On behalf of the Board and Management team, if the Open Office acquisition is approved today by Shareholders, we are looking forward to welcoming the Open Office team to ReadyTech.
Thank you again to our Shareholders for their continuing support.
We will now move to the formal part of the meeting.
