SUNCORP CLOSES CPS3 OFFER RAISING $400 MILLION
Suncorp Group Limited ("Suncorp") has confirmed the allocation policy applicable to its offer of convertible preference shares ("CPS3"). The offer, which has now been completed, raised $400 million, with four million CPS3 issued for $100 each.
Allocation policy
Due to the large volume of applications received under the Securityholder Offer, it has not been possible to allocate to all Securityholder Offer Applicants the full amount of CPS3 for which they applied. Securityholder Applicants have been allocated the following number of CPS3:
| Number of CPS3 applied for |
CPS3 allocated |
|---|---|
| 50 – 300 | 100% |
| 301 – 500 | 300 CPS3 plus an additional 23% of CPS3 applied for between 301 and 500 |
| Above 500 | 346 and no additional CPS3 applied for above 500 |
Securityholder Offer Applicants can confirm their allocations regarding CPS3 by telephoning the CPS3 Offer Information Line (details below).
A scale back was also applied to Syndicate Brokers under the Bookbuild process. Broker Firm Applicants can confirm their allocations with their broker or by telephoning the CPS3 Offer Information Line (details below).
The basis for allocations is described in the attached advertisement, which will be published tomorrow, 9 May 2014, in The Australian, the Australian Financial Review, The Age, The Courier-Mail and The Sydney Morning Herald.
Trading on ASX
The CPS3 were issued today, 8 May 2014 and are expected to begin trading on a deferred settlement basis on the ASX at approximately 12:00pm (Sydney time) on 9 May 2014 under the ASX code "SUNPE". Trading on a normal settlement basis is expected to commence on 14 May 2014.
Holding statements and Transaction Confirmation statements
CHESS Transaction Confirmation statements and Issuer Sponsored Holding statements stating the number of CPS3 issued to each successful applicant are expected to be despatched to CPS3 holders by 13 May 2014. Any refunds are also expected to be despatched by this date.
All successful applicants are responsible for determining and confirming the number of CPS3 allocated to them prior to selling any CPS3. Applicants who sell CPS3 before receiving their CHESS Transaction Confirmation statement or Issuer Sponsored Holding statement do so at their own risk.
