ASX Release

The Boral Independent Board Committee continues to recommend that Shareholders REJECT the SGH Offer of $6.50 per share OFFER UNDERVALUES BORAL

Boral Ltd (“Boral”) notes that the off market takeover offer by Seven Group Holdings (“SGH”) to acquire 100% of Boral for total cash consideration of $6.50 per share has been declared unconditional (“the SGH Offer”).

Under the Corporations Act, it is now open to SGH to acquire Boral shares on market at a price higher than its current offer price of $6.50 per share. If SGH did that, its offer price will automatically be varied under the Corporations Act to that higher price.

The Boral Independent Board Committee continues to recommend that shareholders REJECT the SGH Offer and TAKE NO ACTION, as it undervalues Boral.

The reasons for the Boral Independent Board Committee’s recommendation that you REJECT the SGH Offer are detailed in Boral’s Target’s Statement dated 10 June 2021. This should be read in conjunction with Boral’s First Supplementary Target’s Statement, dated 21 June 2021.

Boral’s Chairman, Kathryn Fagg, said:

Boral’s Target’s Statement set out details of Boral’s strategy, including its expectation of unlocking significant value in the near-term from the potential divestment of assets to deliver value for shareholders. Our announcement on 21 June 2021 regarding the sale of North American Building Products to Westlake Chemical Corporation demonstrates that we are delivering on this strategy.

“The sale is expected to generate significant surplus capital once the transaction closes. Based on Boral’s financial framework, we estimate this surplus (prior to any reinvestment alternatives) to be ~$3.6 billion which equates to $3.02 per share[1] . The Company will determine the appropriate form of any return to shareholders, which may involve further shareholder approvals.

“We continue to believe the SGH Offer significantly undervalues your shares in Boral and encourage all shareholders to REJECT the offer by TAKING NO ACTION .”

Kathryn Fagg has given, and not withdrawn before the lodgement of the Second Supplementary Target’s Statement with ASIC, her written consent for the statement attributed to her to be included in the Second Supplementary Target’s Statement in the form and context in which it appears.
