1 AUGUST 2016

INTECQ LIMITED AND TABCORP HOLDINGS LIMITED ENTER INTO SCHEME IMPLEMENTATION AGREEMENT FOR 100% OF INTECQ LIMITED TO BE ACQUIRED

Intecq Limited (ASX code: ITQ) (“ Intecq ”) today announces that it has entered into a Scheme Implementation Agreement (“ SIA” ) with Tabcorp Holdings Ltd (ASX code: TAH) (“ Tabcorp ”) under which it is proposed that Tabcorp will acquire 100 per cent of Intecq’s issued capital[1] by way of a Scheme of Arrangement (“ Scheme ”).

The total cash consideration of A$7.15 per share values Intecq’s fully diluted equity at approximately A$128 million and represents a:

  • 31% premium to the ASX closing share price of $5.44 on 29 July 2016 (being the last trading day prior to this announcement);

  • 31% premium to the $5.47 one month volume weighted average ASX share price of Intecq shares up to and including 29 July 2016; and

  • 32% premium to the $5.40 three month volume weighted average ASX share price of Intecq shares up to and including 29 July 2016.

Subject to an independent expert determining that the Scheme is in the best interests of Intecq shareholders, the directors of Intecq (who, collectively represent approximately 7.6% of fully-diluted shares outstanding) unanimously recommend and intend to vote shares in their control in favour of the proposed Scheme, in the absence of a superior proposal.

Chairman of Intecq, Mr Paul Oneile said “Our board of directors has undertaken lengthy negotiations with Tabcorp to secure an offer which we consider delivers excellent value for our shareholders. Tabcorp is Australia’s leading diversified entertainment group and a leader in the Australian wagering, racing media, gaming services and Keno markets, and Intecq delivers technology solutions to the gaming industry, providing a strong complementary fit.

“Our two business divisions, eBET and Odyssey Gaming, continue to grow and perform strongly and present a compelling growth proposition for Tabcorp”, he added.

The offer will be made pursuant to a Scheme with further details to be included in the notice of meeting that will be sent to shareholders to convene a meeting at which shareholders will be asked to consider the proposal. The Scheme is subject to certain

customary conditions precedent including Intecq shareholder approval, court approval and other regulatory approvals.

The directors of Intecq have agreed under the SIA that no final dividend will be declared for the 2016 financial year, and this has been reflected in the determination of the offer consideration. In the event that the Scheme does not proceed the directors will consider the payment of a dividend in accordance with Intecq’s current dividend policy.

9. BREAK FEE

9.1 Declarations

Clauses 9.2 and 9.3 have been included at the request of Tabcorp and Intecq respectively on the basis that they would not have entered into this Agreement and would not have entered into and continued negotiations and conducted due diligence leading up to this Agreement had they not each had a reasonable expectation that the other would agree to enter into a clause of this kind.

9.2 Break Fee – Intecq

Subject to clauses 9.4 and 9.5, Intecq must pay the Intecq Break Fee to Tabcorp in accordance with clause 9.6, without withholding or set off, if:

  • (a) a Competing Proposal is announced or made prior to the Sunset Date and is publicly recommended, promoted or otherwise endorsed by the Intecq Board or any of the Intecq directors;

    • (1) withdrawing or adversely changing or modifying his, her or their recommendation that Intecq Shareholders vote in favour of the Scheme;

Scheme Implementation Agreement

==> picture [92 x 44] intentionally omitted <==

  • (d) Tabcorp terminates this Agreement in accordance with clause 11.3(b); or

  • (e) the Condition Precedent in clause 4.1(f) is breached or not satisfied prior to 8.00am on the Second Court Date and Tabcorp terminates this Agreement in accordance with clause 4.5.

9.3 Break Fee – Tabcorp

Subject to clauses 9.4 and 9.5, Tabcorp must pay the Tabcorp Break Fee to Intecq in accordance with clause 9.6, without withholding or set off:

  • (a) if at any time after the date of this Agreement Intecq terminates this Agreement in accordance with clause 11.2(b); or

  • (b) if:

  • (i) the Condition Precedent in clause 4.1(a)(ii) (which, for the avoidance of doubt, does not include any matter referred to in clause 4.1(a)(i)) is not satisfied as a result of an Agency finally determining (following the exhaustion of all reasonable avenues of appeal) to refuse to grant or provide a Regulatory Approval;

  • (ii) that refusal does not result from, or is not referrable to, a breach by Intecq of clause 4.3 or otherwise results from any act or omission by or on behalf of Intecq; and

  • (iii) the Agreement is terminated in accordance with clause 4.5 as a result of failing to satisfy clause 4.1(a)(ii).

For the avoidance of doubt, clause 9.3 does not apply in respect of a failure to obtain any Regulatory Approval prior to the date upon which this Agreement is terminated, in circumstances where an Agency has not issued to Tabcorp any written statement refusing to grant the Regulatory Approval (including merely because this Agreement is terminated as a result of the Condition Precedent in clause 4.1(a)(ii) not being satisfied prior to the Sunset Date).

9.4 No payment if Scheme becomes Effective

A Break Fee will not be payable under clauses 9.2 or 9.3 if the Scheme becomes Effective. If a Break Fee has been paid before the Scheme becomes Effective, it must be refunded immediately.

Page 39

Scheme Implementation Agreement

Page 41

Scheme Implementation Agreement

==> picture [92 x 44] intentionally omitted <==

the execution by such person of a confidentiality agreement containing terms at least as favourable to Intecq as those contained in the Confidentiality Agreement, provide such person with access to information regarding Intecq.

  • (iv) the Intecq Board, acting in good faith and in consultation with its financial adviser and external legal adviser, determines that the proposed Competing Proposal would constitute a Superior Proposal;

  • (v) Intecq has provided Tabcorp with the material terms and conditions (including the proposed price (or implied value of proposed non-cash consideration), conditions, timing and break fee (if any)) of the proposed Competing Proposal;

  • (vi) Intecq has given Tabcorp a period of not less than five Business Days after the date of the provision of the information referred to in clause 10.5(a)(v) to provide a matching or superior proposal to the proposed Competing Proposal and, if requested by Tabcorp, Intecq shall have negotiated with Tabcorp in good faith during such period regarding any revisions of the terms of the Transaction proposed by Tabcorp in response to the proposed Competing Proposal; and

and Intecq agrees that each successive material modification of a proposed Competing Proposal will constitute a new proposed Competing Proposal for the purposes of the requirements of this clause 10.5.

(b) If Tabcorp proposes to Intecq, or announces, amendments to the Transaction Documents or a new proposal that constitutes a matching or superior proposal to the terms of the actual, proposed or potential Competing Proposal ( Tabcorp Counterproposal ) by the expiry of the 5 Business Day period referred to in clause 10.5(a)(vi), Intecq must procure that the Intecq Board considers the Tabcorp Counterproposal and if the Intecq Board, acting reasonably and in good faith, determines that the Tabcorp Counterproposal would provide an equivalent or superior outcome for Intecq Shareholders as a whole compared with the Competing Proposal, taking into account all of the terms and conditions of the Tabcorp Counterproposal, then
