Letter from Chairman of the Board of Directors
22 August 2018
Dear TELYS4 Holder,
Seven Group Holdings (SGH) is inviting you to attend a meeting of TELYS4 Holders to be held on Monday 24 September 2018 to consider and vote on a proposal for the conversion of TELYS4 that the Company has on issue into ordinary shares of SGH (Ordinary Shares) (the Conversion Proposal).
The Conversion Proposal gives you the opportunity to receive 4.60645 Ordinary Shares for each TELYS4 you hold. If the vote is passed, it will also give you the option of selling up to 50% of the TELYS4 you hold for cash, at a price of at least $88.00 per TELYS4.
The conversion ratio of 4.60645 Ordinary Shares per TELYS4 has been calculated as the ratio required to deliver $92.50 value for each TELYS4 you hold, based on the 30 day volume average weight price (VWAP) of Ordinary Shares. This ratio represents a premium of 14% to the 30 day VWAP of the TELYS4 and a 15% premium based on the closing prices of the TELYS4 and the Ordinary Shares as at 21 August 2018. Note that, at the time of conversion, the market price of the Ordinary Shares into which each TELYS4 will convert could be more or less than $92.50 depending on trading prices at that time which TELYS4 Holders can check at asx.com.au. The cash price of $88.00 offered under the Partial Cash Exit Opportunity represents a 8.5% premium to the closing TELYS4 price as at 21 August 2018.
The Conversion Proposal, if implemented, has benefits including:
- · It would allow you to sell your post conversion Ordinary Shares in a more liquid market than the market for your TELYS4;
- · The Conversion Ratio of 4.60645 Ordinary Shares per TELYS4 represents a 15% premium to the current trading price of the TELYS4, based on the closing prices of Ordinary Shares and TELYS4 on 21 August 2018; and
- · It would enable you to receive cash for up to 50% of your TELYS4 at a minimum price which is a 8.5% premium to the current trading price of the TELYS4, based on the closing price of TELYS4 on 21 August 2018.
As well as the benefits listed above, you should consider the potential disadvantages of the Conversion Proposal, as set out in Section 3, which include that you may prefer the existing yield investment in the TELYS4 and that the price of the Ordinary Shares issued on conversion could fall. TELYS4 Holders are encouraged to read and consider all the information provided before making a decision on whether to vote in favour of the Conversion Proposal.
The SGH Board has considered a range of alternatives available to SGH having regard to the interests of the TELYS4 Holders, Ordinary Shareholders, SGH's financial position, our rights under the terms of the TELYS4 and SGH's capital structure. Based on this assessment, we believe that the Conversion Proposal is the most suitable option available.
Recognising that different TELYS4 Holders may have different investment preferences, we are also offering you the opportunity to have each of your TELYS4 converted into 4.60645 Ordinary Shares even if the vote on the Conversion Proposal does not pass.
To facilitate your consideration of the Conversion Proposal, KPMG Financial Advisory Services1 has been appointed as an Independent Expert and has expressed its opinion that: "the Conversion Proposal is in the best interests of TELYS4 Holders".
The Independent Expert's Report, which you should read in full, is contained in Annexure C.
The Board unanimously recommends that you vote in favour of the Conversion Proposal, and those Directors who hold TELYS4 have indicated that they intend to vote their TELYS4 in favour of the Conversion Proposal.
Your vote is important. The Board strongly encourages you to vote either by attending the meeting in person, by voting online or by appointing a proxy, attorney or corporate representative to attend the meeting and vote on your behalf.
If, having read the Explanatory Memorandum, you would like your TELYS4 converted into Ordinary Shares even if the vote fails, it is important that you opt for this on your Proxy Form.
SGH will keep TELYS4 Holders informed of any material developments in relation to the proposal through releases to ASX (which will also be published on SGH's website).
If you have any questions in relation to the proposal, please contact the Shareholder Information Line on 1300 046 609 (for callers within Australia) or +61 2 9290 9611 (for callers outside Australia) or visit http://www.sevengroup.com.au.
Yours sincerely
Mr Kerry Matthew Stokes AC Chairman, Board of Directors Seven Group Holdings Limited

The purpose of this Explanatory Memorandum is to provide the TELYS4 Holders with important explanatory information that SGH believes to be material to deciding whether or not to approve the Resolution detailed in the Notice of Meeting.
This Explanatory Memorandum forms part of the accompanying Notice of Meeting and should be read in conjunction with it.
Board of Directors
In considering whether to vote in favour of the Resolution, the Board of Directors of SGH encourages you to:

Definitions
Terms and abbreviations used in the Notice of Meeting and Explanatory Memorandum are defined in Annexure B.
Important Information on the Conversion Proposal
1.1 The Conversion Proposal
As explained in section 1.2 below, there have been significant market and other changes since the TELYS4 were issued, which have impacted on their market price of TELYS4.
SGH is putting forward a proposal which provides an opportunity for TELYS4 Holders to have their TELYS4 converted into Ordinary Shares in SGH. Under this proposal, a meeting of TELYS4 Holders will be held to vote on changes to the rights of TELYS4 Holders.
The proposal gives you the opportunity to receive 4.60645 Ordinary Shares for each TELYS4 you hold. If the vote is passed, each TELYS4 will be converted into 4.60645 Ordinary Shares, and you may elect to sell up to 50% of your TELYS4 for cash, at a price of at least $88.00 per TELYS4.
The conversion ratio of 4.60645 Ordinary Shares per TELYS4 has been calculated as the ratio required to deliver $92.50 value for each TELYS4 held, based on the 30 day volume average weight price (VWAP) of Ordinary Shares. This ratio represents a premium of 14% to the 30 day VWAP of the TELYS4 and a 15% premium based on the closing prices of the TELYS4 and the Ordinary Shares as at 21 August 2018. Note that, at the time of conversion, the market price of the Ordinary Shares into which each TELYS4 will convert could be more or less than $92.50 depending on trading prices at that time which TELYS4 Holders can check at asx.com.au. The cash price of $88.00 offered under the Partial Cash Exit Opportunity represents a 8.5% premium to the closing TELYS4 price as at 21 August 2018.
If you would like each of your TELYS4 to be converted into Ordinary Shares even if the vote is not passed, you can also elect to have them convert on that scenario. However, the Partial Cash Exit Opportunity will only apply if the vote is passed.
The proposed conversion is not a conversion under the existing conversion terms of the TELYS4. The current terms do not give TELYS4 Holders any rights to have their TELYS4 converted other than when there has been a breach of the dividend or capital restrictions. No such breach exists.
Those terms do give SGH a right to convert the TELYS4. However, having regard to the relative trading prices of TELYS4 and Ordinary Shares over the past ten years, SGH does not consider it appropriate to exercise those conversion rights. SGH does not view that as consistent with the best interests of SGH or Ordinary Shareholders.
Therefore, SGH is providing this opportunity for TELYS4 Holders to consider, and vote on, whether they wish to convert each TELYS4 into 4.60645 Ordinary Shares.
1.2 Why is SGH proposing these changes?
SGH has been approached by a number of TELYS4 shareholders who have sought to understand why the TELYS4 shares have not enjoyed the share price rally experienced by the Ordinary Shares. Given the nature of the TELYS4 share, as a perpetual noncumulative share with limited rights, the market since the Global Financial Crisis has not applied the same valuation principles to securities like the TELYS4. As a result, the TELYS4 and their former TELYS3 have traded well below their face value since 15 January 2008.

The graph below highlights the value and volume of TELYS4 trades since the formation of SGH which has seen the register trade over 1.2 times at a weighted average price of $81.69.

Since March 2018, the TELYS4 have traded down approximately 8%. This coincided with the announcement of potential tax reform2 which could impact the refundability of excess imputation credits. The proposed reform, if enacted, would prevent future cash refunds for excess imputation credits for individuals and superannuation funds. Under the proposal, imputation credits would only be a non-refundable tax offset and cash refunds would not arise if imputation credits exceed tax liabilities. Such a policy change, if enacted, would impact a significant number of TELYS4 shareholders. Although it is not known whether this proposal will be enacted, its announcement has impacted TELYS4 and other similar securities across the market.

As such, the potential for tax reform placing further pressure on the TELYS4 price has motivated SGH to consider the restructure option.
1.3 Choices open to TELYS4 Holders
SGH has designed this Conversion Proposal to offer you flexibility by providing you with options with respect to your TELYS4. Some of these options will only be available if the vote is passed. However, a conversion option is also available to you if the vote does not pass but you would still like each of your TELYS4 to be converted into 4.60645 Ordinary Shares.
The choices that are open to you are described below.
1.3.1 Choices open if the vote passes
If the Resolution to approve the Conversion Proposal is passed, you will have the option of electing to participate in either:
- · Full Conversion by having all of your TELYS4 converted into Ordinary Shares; or
- · the Partial Cash Exit Opportunity by having 50% of your TELYS4 converted into Ordinary Shares with the option of selling the balance for cash for a minimum price of at least $88.00.
Full Conversion and the Partial Cash Exit Opportunity are described in sections 1.4 and 1.6 below respectively.
If, following approval of the Resolution, you elect the Partial Cash Exit Opportunity, you also have the option of either:
- · selling the balance of your TELYS4 on the market using the broker appointed by SGH; or
- · selling all, or a specified portion, of your TELYS4 on the market using your own broker.
The details of these options are set out in section 1.7.
1.3.2 Choices open if the vote does not pass
You have the option to elect to convert your TELYS4 into Ordinary Shares even if the vote is not passed. If you opt for this, on conversion, you will receive 4.60645 Ordinary Shares for each TELYS4 you hold.
The details of this option are described in section 1.8.
1.4 Full Conversion
Full Conversion allows you to convert all of the TELYS4 you hold into Ordinary Shares.
For each TELYS4 you hold, you will receive 4.60645 Ordinary Shares. Conversion will occur on 27 September 2018.
1.5 How do I participate in the Full Conversion?
If the vote is passed, all of your TELYS4 will be converted into Ordinary Shares in accordance with the Full Conversion unless you elect to participate in the Partial Cash Exit Opportunity.
1.6 Partial Cash Exit Opportunity
If the vote is passed, the Partial Cash Exit Opportunity will apply. Under the Partial Cash Exit Opportunity, you can elect to have only 50% of the TELYS4 you hold converted upfront, and to sell up to 50% for cash.
Initially, 50% of the TELYS4 you hold will be converted into 4.60645 Ordinary Shares per TELYS4 on 27 September 2018.
The remaining 50% of your TELYS4 can then be sold on the market. On 28 September 2018, SGH will stand in the market with offers to purchase any TELYS4 at $88.00. Other buyers in the market may offer to buy your TELYS4 at a higher price than $88.00, in which case you may achieve a higher price for your TELYS4. However, at a minimum, you would receive $88.00 for any TELYS4 you offer for sale under the Partial Cash Exit Opportunity.
SGH will appoint a Sale Facility Broker, who can sell all of your TELYS4 on your behalf if you so elect. If you opt to use the Sale Facility Broker, you will receive the net average proceeds of all TELYS4 sold by the Sale Facility Broker. No brokerage fees will be payable for your use of the Sale Facility Broker
Alternatively, you can, at your own cost, instruct your own broker to sell some, or all, of your TELYS4 for cash. This is explained further in section 1.7 below.
If you elect to use your own broker, the sale broker appointed by SGH will not sell your TELYS4 for cash. It will be up to you to instruct your own broker to sell them. If you have not sold all your remaining TELYS4 by 5.00pm on 28 September 2018, any remaining TELYS4 you own will be converted into 4.60645 Ordinary Shares per TELYS4 on 4 October 2018.
1.7 How do I participate in the Partial Cash Exit Opportunity?
The Partial Cash Exit Opportunity will only apply if the vote is passed.
To participate in this opportunity, you must complete the Election Form in Annexure E and send it to SGH in accordance with the instructions on the Election Form by 22 September 2018.
If you do not send in a completed Election Form by 22 September 2018 and the vote is passed, you will be taken to have elected Full Conversion and all of your TELYS4 will be converted into Ordinary Shares under the process described in section 1.4 above.
As mentioned in section 1.6 above, you have the option of selling your TELYS4 through the SGH appointed Sale Facility Broker or through your own broker. You can make this selection on your Election Form. If you elect to use the Sale Facility Broker, you also authorise and provide consent for 50% of the TELYS4 you hold to be transferred to a
custodian of SGH's choosing once the resolution to approve the Conversion Proposal is passed to facilitate the sale of 50% of your TELYS4 through the Sale Facility.
If your Election Form does not specify whether you will sell through the Sale Facility Broker, or through your own broker, you must sell your TELYS4 through your own broker.
1.8 Voluntary Conversion
To give TELYS4 Holders maximum flexibility, SGH is also offering you the opportunity to have your TELYS4 converted into Ordinary Shares even if the vote is not passed.
You can opt to have each of your TELYS4 converted into 4.60645 Ordinary Shares in the event that the Resolution for the Conversion Proposal is not approved.
This conversion is scheduled to occur on 27 September 2018, if the vote does not pass.
The Partial Cash Exit Opportunity will not apply on this scenario. It will only be available if the vote is passed.
To take advantage of this Voluntary Conversion opportunity, you must select the "Voluntary Conversion" option on your Proxy Form.
If you return both the Partial Cash Election Opportunity Election form and a Proxy Form with "Voluntary Conversion" selected, you will participate in the Partial Cash Exit Opportunity if the vote is passed. If the vote is not passed, your TELYS4 will be converted in full under the Voluntary Conversion.
1.9 Board Recommendation
As explained further in section 2.1 below, the SGH Board unanimously recommends that you vote in favour of the Conversion Proposal. Sections 2 and 3 set out various advantages and disadvantages which the SGH Board encourages you to read in considering how to vote.
1.10 Independent Expert's Report
SGH commissioned KPMG Corporate Finance as an independent expert to prepare a report expressing its opinion as to whether the Conversion Proposal is in the best interests of the TELYS4 Holders.
The Independent Expert's Report contained in Annexure C, expresses the opinion that the Conversion Proposal is in the best interests of TELYS4 Holders.
1.11 Impact of the Conversion Proposal on SGH
If the Conversion Proposal proceeds, the capital structure of SGH would consist of Ordinary Shares and the equity aspect of the $350 million convertible notes issued in February 2018. The benefit to SGH of a unified TELYS4 and ordinary capital structure is that it is expected to increase SGH's market capitalisation by approximately $460 million, which would effectively increase the number of Ordinary Shares that can be freely traded – the free float – by 4.4%, to a total of 339,349,949.
By increasing the free float, the likelihood of SGH's inclusion on relevant ASX and MSCI indexes also increases, as those indexes are free float-adjusted. This may drive incremental demand for Ordinary Shares post the conversion being undertaken, as institutions with passive index investment mandates look to increase their Ordinary Shareholding to eliminate tracking error.
The Conversion Proposal will also generate a cash saving to SGH of approximately $14.2 million per annum given the difference in current dividend rates between the
TELYS4 and Ordinary Shares. As such, the Conversion Proposal, if implemented, is expected to increase SGH's earnings per share and to preserve franking credits compared to the current position.
1.12 TELYS4 Holder approval
The Conversion Proposal is a variation of the class rights attached to the TELYS4 which can only proceed with the approval of TELYS4 Holders. This is because the proposal involves a variation to your rights as a TELYS4 Holder.
Annexure A sets out the Resolution which, if passed, will allow for the Conversion Proposal to go ahead by amending the TELYS4 Terms. The Resolution requires approval by a special majority (more than 75%) of votes cast on the resolution by TELYS4 Holders who are present at the Meeting (in person or by proxy). You may elect Voluntary Conversion of your TELYS4 even if the vote is not passed. However, the Partial Cash Exit Opportunity will not apply in that scenario.
1.13 Timing
The indicative timetable for the Conversion Proposal is as follows:
| Event | Date |
|---|---|
| Announcement of Conversion Proposal | 22 August 2018 |
| Last day of trading of TELYS4 | 21 September 2018 |

2 Key reasons to vote in favour of the Resolution
2.1 Board recommendation
The Board unanimously recommends that you vote in favour of the Resolution. In reaching their recommendation, the Board has considered:
- · The advantages of the Conversion Proposal, as set out in section 2;
- · The disadvantages of the Conversion Proposal, as set out in section 3;
- · The other relevant considerations set out in this Explanatory Memorandum; and
- · The expression of opinion of the Independent Expert, as set out in Annexure C.
Mr Ryan Stokes and Mr Terry Davis, each of whom hold TELYS4 have indicated that they intend to vote their TELYS4 in favour of the Conversion Proposal.
2.2 Independent Expert conclusion
The Independent Expert has concluded that the Conversion Proposal is in the best interests of TELYS4 Holders.
2.3 SGH capital structure
Over the last ten years the TELYS4 have been thinly traded at a substantial discount to their Face Value. The unification of these two elements of SGH's capital structure would increase the free float of SGH. The conversion into Ordinary Shares is therefore expected to result in TELYS4 Holders being able to sell their shares post conversion in a more liquid market than the TELYS4 market.
In support of this liquidity, it is noted that the average daily volume in dollar terms of Ordinary Shares traded over last financial year exceed average daily volume in dollar terms of TELYS4 traded by 34.6 times or 3,466%.
As such, post conversion, any TELYS4 shareholders who elect to sell their Ordinary Shares will be less likely to move the market, as they will proportionally represent a smaller proportion of the average daily volume of Ordinary Shares traded than they would have as an overall proportion of TELYS4 traded.
2.4 Premium on market price
Assuming all TELYS4 are converted, the conversion ratio represents a 15% premium being received by the TELYS4 Holders on their market prices as at announcement.
The amended conversion terms also provide an option for TELYS4 Holders to monetise up to 50% of their holding at a minimum amount which represents a 8.5% premium to the closing TELYS4 share price as at 21 August 2018.
The fact that TELYS4 Holders have 28 days to consider the Conversion Proposal before they are required to vote will allow them to see whether the price of the Ordinary Shares trades above the effective price used in the conversion ratio post announcement and thus obtain visibility as to how the market values the Conversion Proposal.
Finally, if the vote is passed, the Partial Cash Exit Opportunity provides each TELYS4 Holder with an option to sell 50% of their TELYS4 at $88.00 which is a premium to where the TELYS4 are currently trading, with all resulting costs of sale being met by SGH.
2.5 Proposed Tax Reform
Voting in support of the conversion also mitigates the risk posed by the pre-election tax reform proposal which, if enacted, would effectively reduce the value of imputation credits and therefore the future value of the TELYS4.
2.6 Comparative Total Shareholder Return
The total shareholder return for the past five financial years being the period from 1 July 2013 to 30 June 2018 for the Ordinary Shares was 31%, and for TELYS4 was a loss of 1.3%. Past performance is not a reliable indicator of future performance, and the price and total shareholder return of Ordinary Shares could fall. However, this illustrates that the market since the Global Financial Crisis has not applied the same valuation principles to TELYS4 as to Ordinary Shares, and that, absent the Conversion Proposal, market conditions have been challenging for the TELYS4.
2.7 Voting Rights
TELYS4 shares currently have limited voting rights which effectively only arise where the dividend stopper has been invoked. By contrast, the Ordinary Shares have full voting rights and Ordinary Shareholders can participate in major decisions impacting SGH which require a shareholder vote.
3 Reasons why you may consider voting against the Conversion Proposal Resolution
3.1 Disagree with the recommendation of the Board
Despite the unanimous recommendation of the Board to vote in favour of the Resolution, you may believe that the Conversion Proposal is not in your best interests.
3.2 Disagree with the conclusion or reasoning of the Independent Expert
Despite the expression of opinion of the Independent Expert that the Conversion Proposal is in the best interests of TELYS4 Holders, you may believe that the proposal is not in your best interests.
3.3 Yield Preference
You may prefer to keep the TELYS4 as they currently represent a higher yielding security relative to the Ordinary Shares you would receive under the Conversion Proposal.
3.4 Ordinary Share price movement
The Ordinary Shares may be more susceptible to price volatility given that SGH operates in markets which are sensitive to economic cycles. As noted above, the Ordinary Shares may fall in price, and this potential volatility may offset or outweigh the potential for an increase in the total shareholder return as described in section 2.6.
4 Taxation Considerations
The tax outcomes of the Conversion Proposal will vary depending on your circumstances. It is therefore recommended that you consult with your taxation professional regarding your particular circumstances.
Introduction
This summary has been prepared as a general guide based on Australian tax legislation and practices current as at the date of this Explanatory Memorandum.
It assumes that the income tax consequences of the conversion of your TELYS4 are determined under the Capital Gains Tax ("CGT") provisions – this will not be the case, for example, if you are a share trader and hold TELYS4 as a revenue asset.
Has the ATO issued a ruling about the Conversion Proposal?
SGH previously requested and obtained a Class Ruling from the Australian Tax Office ("ATO") in 2010 (Class Ruling 2010/14) – publicly available on the ATO website.
CR2010/14, at Paragraphs 37, 38 and 71-81 outlined the tax considerations of a conversion of TELYS4 Holdings into Ordinary Shares under the current TELYS4 Terms.
SGH has requested that the ATO issue an addendum to CR2010/14 on your behalf in relation to the tax implications of the Conversion Proposal, confirming the tax outcomes outlined in CR2010/14 will remain the same under the Conversion Proposal.
SGH has a received an in-principle confirmation and a draft copy of the addendum from the ATO that the tax implications outlined in CR2010/14 regarding conversion of TELYS4 into Ordinary Shares will continue to apply should the Conversion Proposal be approved by TELYS4 Holders.
Formal confirmation from the ATO cannot be given until such time as the Conversion Proposal is approved by TELYS4 Holders. However, this summary accords with what SGH anticipates the final addendum will say, based on the non-binding ATO confirmation that SGH has received.
How will I be able to see a copy of the addendum?
After the addendum is issued, it will be available on the ATO website. A link will also be posted on the SGH website at www.sevengroup.com.au to the addendum and CR 2010/14.
Conversion of a TELYS4 into an SGH share - CGT event
The conversion of a TELYS4 into an Ordinary Share and the entitlement to allotment of an additional number of Ordinary Shares will not give rise to a CGT event for a TELYS4 Holder pursuant to Division 104 of the Income Tax Assessment Act 1997 ("the Act").
Once the TELYS4 are converted, the rights attached to TELYS4 which equate to the rights attached to one Ordinary Share will take effect and all other rights under TELYS4 will no longer apply. Each TELYS4 will entitle the holder to be allotted an additional number of Ordinary Shares.
Shares are comprised of a bundle of rights; however, those rights are not separate pieces of property capable of being divided out and held separately. Accordingly, the rights attaching to shares do not constitute individual assets as defined by section 108-5 of the Act, but rather combine to make up the relevant CGT asset, being the share (Taxation Ruling TR 94/30).
Under section 104-25 of the Act, CGT event C2 happens if, among other things, the ownership of an intangible asset, such as a preference share, ends by the share:
- · being redeemed or cancelled (paragraph 104-25(1)(a)); or
- · if the share is a convertible interest being converted (paragraph 104-25(1)(f)).
The mere variation of rights attaching to TELYS4 and allotment of an additional number of Ordinary Shares is not a 'redemption' or 'cancellation' of the share under paragraph 104-25(1)(a) the Act. Further, the conversion of TELYS4 does not involve TELYS4 being converted into equity interests under paragraph 104-25(1)(f), but rather, is consistent with a 'Conversion' as defined according to the TELYS4 Terms.
For completeness we note, that although CGT event C2 does not happen because of the variation of the rights attaching to TELYS4, the receipt of money or other consideration in respect of such a variation may attract the operation of CGT event H2 (paragraphs 10 and 46 to 48 of TR 94/30). Under the proposed amendment to the conversion terms no cash nor other consideration is being provided.
The Conversion Proposal of TELYS4 involving the allotment of additional number of Ordinary Shares will result in an adjustment to the cost base and reduced cost base of TELYS4 under subsection 130-20(3). Accordingly, CGT event H2 does not happen on the conversion of TELYS4 involving the allotment of additional number of Ordinary Shares. It follows from the above that no CGT event happens as a result of the Conversion Proposal.
The issue of bonus shares will not be a dividend because the share issue will be debited to the share capital account of SGH for accounting purposes (paragraph (d) of the definition of 'dividend' in subsection 6(1) of the Income Tax Assessment Act 1936).
What is my tax cost base of the Ordinary Shares?
A TELYS4 Holder is to apportion the first element of their cost base and reduced cost base for the TELYS4 in a reasonable way over both the converted TELYS4 and the additional Ordinary Shares in accordance with section 130-20 of the Act.
Pursuant to Item 1 of the table in subsection 130-20(3) of the Act, a TELYS4 Holder will be taken to have acquired the additional Ordinary Shares when they acquired the original TELYS4 and the TELYS4 Holder is to apportion the first element of their cost base and reduced cost base for the TELYS4 in a reasonable way over both the converted TELYS4 and the additional Ordinary Shares.
What if I choose the Partial Cash Exit Opportunity?
If you choose the Partial Cash Exit Opportunity, the normal CGT rules will apply to 50% of your TELYS4 and we recommended that you consult with your taxation professional as the outcome will vary subject to your personal circumstances.
5 Additional information
5.1 Disclosure of Information
SGH is subject to regular disclosure and reporting obligations under the ASX Listing Rules and the Corporations Act.

Copies of information disclosed by SGH under its disclosure and reporting obligations is available on ASX's website at www.asx.com.au.
5.2 Rounding
Where the total number of Ordinary Shares to be allotted to a TELYS4 Holder under the Conversion Proposal is a fraction, that fraction will be disregarded. This approach to rounding is consistent with the approach taken to rounding generally in clause 3.7(c) of the TELYS4 Terms.
5.3 Holder approved Conversion
The proposed clause to which the Resolution refers – that is, the proposed amendment to the TELYS4 Terms to implement the Conversion Proposal is set out below:

-
(j) On 4 October 2018, being the fourth trading day after the Buy-back Date, at 5:00pm (Sydney time) the Company must Convert any TELYS4 held by a Holder , entitling the Holder to be allotted an additional number of Ordinary Shares equal to one less than 4.60645 Ordinary Shares. On and from this time:
- 1. all other rights and restrictions conferred on that TELYS4 under these Terms of Issue will no longer have effect; and
- 2. the shares issued will rank equally with all other fully paid Ordinary Shares then on issue and the Company will issue a statement that the holder of those shares holds a specified number of shares so ranking.
-
(k) The operation this clause 3.11 does not constitute the cancellation, redemption or termination of the TELYS4 or an issue, allotment or creation of a new share (other than the additional Ordinary Shares allotted under clauses 3.11(c) and 3.11(j))

-
(o) The Company may determine the manner in which any elections made under this clause 3.11 may be made by Holders.'
5.4 Voluntary Conversion Term which has been added to the TELYS4 Terms
5.4.1 Voluntary Conversion Term
On 21 August 2018, SGH added the following clause to the TELYS4 Terms:
'3.10 VOLUNTARY CONVERSION
- (a) This clause 3.10 applies notwithstanding any other provision of these Terms of Issue.
- (b) The Company may, at any time, put forward a proposal to Holders for the conversion of all or some of the TELYS4 on terms the Company deems appropriate (Voluntary Conversion).
- (c) Holders may elect to participate in the Voluntary Conversion.
- (d) Voluntary Conversion of a TELYS4 will only occur if:
- 1. the Company distributes the terms of the Voluntary Conversion (Voluntary Conversion Terms) to Holders which must include:
- i. the number of Ordinary Shares that will be issued on conversion (Voluntary Conversion Ratio);
- ii. how Holders can elect to participate and the time period during which Holders can elect to participate in the Voluntary Conversion;
- iii. when the Voluntary Conversion will occur (Voluntary Conversion Date);
- iv. any conditions to the Voluntary Conversion; and
- 2. the Holder of the TELYS4 elects to participate in the Voluntary Conversion within the time period specified by the Company in accordance with clause 3.10(d)(1)(ii) above.
- 1. the Company distributes the terms of the Voluntary Conversion (Voluntary Conversion Terms) to Holders which must include:
- (e) Each TELYS4 confers all of the rights attaching to one fully paid Ordinary Share but these rights do not take effect until the Voluntary Conversion Date.

- Confirmation that the Conversion Proposal and the Voluntary Conversion does not require a vote of Ordinary Shareholders under Listing Rule 10.11.
- A waiver of Listing Rule 7.33 that allows SGH buy-back TELYS4 at the Partial Cash Exit Opportunity Minimum Price of $88.00, even if that price if more than 5% above the 5 day VWAP.
5.7 Sale Facility
The Sale Facility will be open until 5:00pm Sydney time on 28 September 2018. By appointing the Sale Facility Broker, TELYS4 Holders are electing to sell 50% of the TELYS4 they hold, which will be all their remaining TELYS4 after the initial conversion on 27 September 2018.
If the proceeds of sale of any TELYS4 is more than the Partial Cash Exit Opportunity Minimum Price of $88.00, any amount in excess will be allocated to participating TELYS4 Holders in proportion to the number of TELYS4 sold on their behalf. Therefore, the amount that each TELYS4 Holder receives from the sale of their TELYS4 through the Sale Facility may be more or less than the actual price received by the Sale Facility Broker.
Any expenses (including brokerage fees) relating to the sale of the TELYS4 through the Sale Facility will be paid by SGH.
The market price of the TELYS4 is subject to change from time to time. Up to date information about the market price of the TELYS4 can be obtained from a share broker or by visiting the website of the ASX at www.asx.com.au.
5.8 Change of Law provision in TELYS4 Terms
The TELYS4 Terms provide that SGH may convert or exchange the TELYS4 if a change of law occurred which will:
- materially increase the net costs to the Company of having TELYS4 on issue;
- affect whether TELYS4 can be franked or whether the Holders are entitled to franking credits;
- affect whether TELYS4 are classified entirely as equity for accounting purposes; or
- impose additional requirements that the Directors consider unacceptable.
This change of law provision would not provide impacted TELYS4 shareholders with any protection from the proposed change in imputation law described in section 1.2 above.
Based on the information currently available, the policy, if enacted into law, would not:
- increase the cost to the Company of having TELYS4 on issue;
- affect the classification of TELYS4 as entirely equity; or
- impose additional requirements.
The policy would also not affect whether TELYS4 can be franked or whether the TELYS4 Holders are entitled to franking credits. Although franking credits under the policy may be of less value to TELYS4 Holders because of the removal of the cash refund concession, a reduction in the value of franking credits does not trigger the provision. As long as dividends can still be franked, the change of law provision would not be triggered.
5.9 Directors' and Key Management Interests
The Directors and Key Management Personnel of SGH have relevant interests (held directly, indirectly, beneficially and including their personal related entities) in the following securities of SGH:
| As at 30 June 2018 | Number of Ordinary Shares | Number of TELYS4 |
|---|---|---|

SGH – Directors' and Key Management Personal Interests
6.1 TELYS4 Holder Meeting
SGH is holding a meeting of TELYS4 Holders on 24 September 2018. At the meeting, TELYS4 Holders will be asked to approve the Resolution. The terms of the Resolution to be considered at the Meeting are contained in the Notice of Meeting.
6.2 Am I able to vote at the Meeting?
Instructions on how to attend and vote at the Meeting (in person, by proxy, online or in person through an attorney or body corporate representative) are set out in the Notice of Meeting. Details of TELYS4 Holders' entitlements to vote at the Meeting are also set out in the Notice of Meeting.
Voting is not compulsory. However, the Board unanimously recommends that TELYS4 Holders vote in favour of the Resolution.
The results of the Meeting will be available as soon as possible after the conclusion of the Meeting and will be announced to ASX once available. The results will also be published on SGH's website at www.sevengroup.com.au.
6.3 Resolution approval requirements
The Resolution requires approval by a special majority (more than 75%) of votes cast on the Resolution of by TELYS4 Holders present and voting at the Meeting (either in person or by proxy).
The Conversion Proposal will only proceed if the Resolution is approved. However, as explained in section 1.8 above, TELYS4 Holders will still have the option to have their TELYS4 converted into Ordinary Shares under Voluntary Conversion if the Resolution does not pass.
7 Key Q&A
Q. Why are we proposing the conversion now?
The Conversion Proposal resolution is being proposed as a result of inquiries made by a number of TELYS4 Holders who have not enjoyed the share price rally experienced by holders of the SGH Ordinary Shares. Since 15 January 2008, TELYS4 have been trading significantly below their face value of $100. Your board is also being proactive in relation to the pre-election tax reform proposal which, if enacted, would impact the refundability of excess imputation credits. See section 1.2 for further details.
Q. What are the rights attached to the TELYS4?
TELYS4 are redeemable convertible preference shares with no maturity date. TELYS4
pay a semi-annual, fully franked dividend at a gross margin of 4.75% over the 180-day bank bill swap rate.
Q. What are the advantages and disadvantages of the Conversion Proposal for TELYS4 Holders?
Advantages (see section 2 for further details)
· The conversion ratio represents a 15% premium on the current market price of the TELYS4, based on closing prices as at 21 August 2018.
- · TELYS4 Holders would be able to participate in the more liquid market for Ordinary Shares.
- · Conversion could mitigate the risk posed by the pre-election tax reform proposal in respect of imputation credits.
- · Ordinary Shares confer full voting rights, as opposed to the limited voting rights under the TELYS4.
- · The total shareholder return for the past five financial years being the period from 1 July 2013 to 30 June 2018 for the Ordinary Shares was 31%, and for TELYS4 was a loss of 1.3%. Past performance is not a reliable indicator of future performance, and the price and total shareholder return of Ordinary Shares could fall.
Disadvantages (see section 3 for further details)
- · TELYS4 represent a higher yielding security than the Ordinary Shares.
- · Ordinary Shares may be more susceptible to price volatility.
Q. How will Ordinary Shareholders be affected if the resolution is passed?
The Conversion Proposal does not require the approval of Ordinary Shareholders.
If the Conversion Proposal is approved, and all TELYS4 Holders elect to participate in Full Conversion into Ordinary Shares, the SGH's ordinary share capital will increase by 22,864,741 shares, with a dilutionary effect on Ordinary Shareholders of 7.2%.
If the Conversion Proposal is approved, and all TELYS4 Holders elect to participate in the Partial Cash Exit Opportunity, at least 50% of the TELYS4 on issue would convert. Whether the other TELYS4 would convert would depend on whether SGH bought them back under the on-market buy-back (in which case they would be cancelled) or another buyer paid more than the $88 on-market buy-back price of them, in which case they would convert into Ordinary Shares. On the least dilutive scenario where all TELYS4 were offered in the Partial Cash Exit Opportunity and bought by SGH in the on-market buy-back, SGH's Ordinary Share capital would increase by 11,432,370 Ordinary Shares, with a dilutionary effect on Ordinary Shareholders of 3.6%.
The Conversion Proposal, if the vote passes, would mean that that dual class structure would no longer exist. Ordinary Shareholders would benefit from increased market capitalisation, potential inclusion or increased weighting in various indexes, cash savings and increased expected earnings per share.
Q. How will SGH be affected if the resolution is passed?
The market capitalisation of SGH will increase which increases the likelihood of SGH's inclusion in ASX and MSCI indexes. This may drive incremental demand for Ordinary Shares. The conversion would also generate a cash saving for SGH, resulting in increased expected EPS. SGH's executive incentive plan is subject to diluted EPS, and as such, there will be no impact on the executive incentives as a result of the conversion. See section 1.11 for further details.
Q. What happens if the resolution does not pass?
TELYS4 Holders will still have the option to convert each of their TELYS4 into 4.60645 Ordinary Shares on 27 September 2018 but there will be no opportunity to participate in the Partial Cash Exit Opportunity. See section 1.8 for further details.

TO VOTE BY COMPLETING THE PROXY FORM
STEP 1 APPOINTMENT OF PROXY
Indicate who you want to appoint as your Proxy.
If you wish to appoint the Chair of the Meeting as your proxy, mark the box. If you wish to appoint someone other than the Chair of the Meeting as your proxy please write the full name of that individual or body corporate. If you leave this section blank, or your named proxy does not attend the meeting or does not vote in accordance with your instructions, the Chair of the Meeting will be your proxy. A proxy need not be a security holder of the Company. Do not write the name of the issuer company or the registered securityholder in the space.
Appointment of a Second Proxy
If you are entitled to cast two or more votes, you are entitled to appoint up to two proxies to attend the meeting and vote. If you wish to appoint a second proxy, an additional Proxy Form may be obtained by contacting the Company's securities registry or you may copy this form.
To appoint a second proxy you must:
(a) complete two Proxy Forms. On each Proxy Form state the percentage of your voting rights or the number of securities applicable to that form. If the appointments do not specify the percentage or number of votes that each proxy may exercise, each proxy may exercise half your votes. Fractions of votes will be disregarded. (b) return both forms together in the same envelope.
STEP 2 VOTING DIRECTIONS TO YOUR PROXY
To direct your proxy how to vote, mark one of the boxes opposite each item of business. All your securities will be voted in accordance with such a direction unless you indicate only a portion of securities are to be voted on any item by inserting the percentage or number that you wish to vote in the appropriate box or boxes. If you do not mark any of the boxes on a given item, your proxy may vote as he or she chooses, to the extent permitted by law. If you mark more than one box on an item for all your securities your vote on that item will be invalid.
Proxy which is a Body Corporate
Where a body corporate is appointed as your proxy, the representative of that body corporate attending the meeting must have provided an "Appointment of Corporate Representative" prior to admission. An Appointment of Corporate Representative form can be obtained from the Company's securities registry.
STEP 3 – VOLUNTARY CONVERSION ELECTION
If you would like to participate in the Voluntary Conversion opportunity described in section 1.8 of the Explanatory Memorandum, you must mark the box in step 3. If you make this election, your TELYS4 will be converted into Ordinary Shares even if the resolution does not pass.

The form must be signed as follows:
Individual: This form is to be signed by the securityholder.
Joint Holding: where the holding is in more than one name, all securityholders should sign.
Power of Attorney: to sign under a Power of Attorney, you must have already lodged it with the registry. Alternatively, attach a certified photocopy of the Power of Attorney to this form when you return it.
Companies: this form must be signed by a Director jointly with either another Director or a Company Secretary. Where the company has a Sole Director who is also the Sole Company Secretary, this form should be signed by that person. Please indicate the office held by signing in the appropriate place.
