Chairman’s letter
29 October 2018
Dear Shareholder
As a valued Shareholder of WorleyParsons Limited ( WorleyParsons ), I am pleased to offer you the opportunity to participate in WorleyParsons’ recently announced, fully underwritten (subject to the terms of an underwriting agreement, see Section 4.5 for more details) 1 for 1.47 pro rata accelerated non-renounceable entitlement offer of new ordinary shares in WorleyParsons ( New Shares ) at an offer price of $15.56 per New Share ( Offer Price ).
Entitlement Offer
On Monday, 22 October 2018, WorleyParsons announced its intention to raise approximately
$2.9 billion by way of a pro rata accelerated non-renounceable entitlement offer (the Entitlement Offer ) at the Offer Price.
The Entitlement Offer comprises:
-
an offer to Eligible Institutional Shareholders ( Institutional Entitlement Offer ); and
-
an offer to Eligible Retail Shareholders ( Retail Entitlement Offer ) to which this Information Booklet relates.
The Institutional Entitlement Offer was successfully completed on Tuesday, 23 October 2018 and raised approximately $1.8 billion at the Offer Price.
The Entitlement Offer is fully underwritten by UBS AG, Australia Branch and Macquarie Capital (Australia) Limited ( Joint Lead Managers ) subject to the terms of an underwriting agreement (see Section 4.5 for more details).
Use of proceeds
Proceeds of the Entitlement Offer will be used to fund the acquisition of the Energy, Chemicals and Resources division ( ECR ) of Jacobs Engineering Group, Inc. ( Jacobs ) (the Acquisition ) for an enterprise value of US$3.3 billion (A$4.6 billion)[1] , announced on Monday, 22 October 2018.
Further details regarding the Acquisition are set out in the Investor Presentation included in Section 3 of this Information Booklet.
The Board is pleased to provide Eligible Retail Shareholders with an opportunity to participate in the expected benefits of the Acquisition and support the ongoing execution of WorleyParsons’ strategy. The acquisition of Jacobs’ ECR division represents a compelling transaction that is consistent with WorleyParsons' existing strategic growth objectives.
1 USD converted to AUD at the spot AUD/USD exchange rate of 0.71.
5
==> picture [152 x 37] intentionally omitted <==
In combining two complementary organisations, we believe the transaction:
-
Generates the potential for material EPS accretion and returns for shareholders
-
Creates a pre-eminent global provider of professional project and asset services in resources and energy
-
Provides global sector leadership across Hydrocarbons, Chemicals and Minerals & Metals
-
Delivers earnings diversification and resilience
-
Brings significant value upside through revenue opportunities and cost synergies
I encourage you to read the Investor Presentation and ASX Announcement included in Section 3 of this booklet.
Retail Entitlement Offer
Under the Retail Entitlement Offer, Eligible Retail Shareholders have the opportunity to invest at the same price as the institutional investors who participated in the Institutional Entitlement Offer. The number of New Shares for which you are entitled to subscribe under the Retail Entitlement Offer ( Entitlement ) is set out in your personalised Entitlement and Acceptance Form that is enclosed with this Information Booklet. The Offer Price of $15.56 per New Share represents an 8.0% discount to the Theoretical Ex-Rights Price ( TERP )[2 ] and 12.8% discount to the closing price of WorleyParsons of $17.84 per share on Friday, 19 October 2018.
The Entitlement Offer is non-renounceable and therefore your Entitlements will not be tradeable on the ASX or otherwise transferable. If you do not participate in the Retail Entitlement Offer, your Entitlement will lapse and you will receive no value for your lapsed Entitlements. I encourage you to consider this offer carefully.
Other information
This Information Booklet contains important information, including:
-
ASX Announcements and the Investor Presentation in relation to the Entitlement Offer referred to above, and provides information on WorleyParsons, the Entitlement Offer and key risks for you to consider;

2 The Theoretical Ex-Rights Price ( TERP ) is the theoretical price at which WorleyParsons’ shares should trade immediately after the ex-date for the Entitlement Offer. TERP is calculated by reference to WorleyParsons’ closing price on Friday, 19 October 2018 of $15.56 per share, being the last trading day prior to the announcement of the Entitlement Offer. TERP is a theoretical calculation only and the actual price at which WorleyParsons’ shares trade immediately after the ex-date of the Entitlement Offer will depend on many factors and may not approximate TERP.

The Closing Date for acceptance of the Retail Entitlement Offer is 5:00pm (Sydney time) on Wednesday, 7 November 2018 (however, that date may be varied by WorleyParsons, in accordance with the Listing Rules and the Underwriting Agreement).
2.7 Taking up all of your Entitlement
If you wish to take up all or part of your Entitlement, you are encouraged to make payment via BPAY® by following the instructions set out on the personalised Entitlement and Acceptance Form or available online at www.worleyparsonsretailoffer.com.au. Payment must be received by no later than 5:00pm (Sydney time) on Wednesday, 7 November 2018. If you are a
New Zealand Shareholder who does not have an Australian bank account or do not wish to pay via BPAY®, you may make payment by cheque, bank draft or money order, as set out in Section 2.13 below. Any Application Monies received for more than your full Entitlement of New Shares will be refunded as soon as practicable after allotment. No interest will be paid to applicants on any Application Monies received or refunded.
Refund amounts, if any, will be paid in Australian dollars. You will be paid either by direct credit to the nominated bank account as noted on the share register or by cheque sent by ordinary post to your address as recorded on the share register. If you wish to advise or change your banking instructions with the Share Registry you may do so by going to www.computershare.com.au and logging into the Investor Centre.
2.8 Taking up part of your Entitlement and allowing the balance to lapse
If you wish to take up part of your Entitlement, you are encouraged to make payment via BPAY® by following the instructions set out on the personalised Entitlement and Acceptance Form or available online at www.worleyparsonsretailoffer.com.au. If you are a New Zealand Shareholder who does not have an Australian bank account or do not wish to pay via BPAY®, you may make payment by cheque, bank draft or money order, as set out in Section 2.13 below. If WorleyParsons receives an amount that is less than the Offer Price multiplied by your Entitlement, your payment may be treated as an Application for as many New Shares as your Application Monies will pay for in full.

If you do not wish to take up all or any part of your Entitlement, do not take any further action and that part of your Entitlement will lapse.
15
==> picture [152 x 37] intentionally omitted <==
2.10 Consequences of not taking up all or part of your Entitlement
If you do not take up all or part of your Entitlement in accordance with the instructions set out above, your Entitlements will lapse and those New Shares for which you would have otherwise been entitled under the Retail Entitlement Offer (including New Shares that relate to the portion of your Entitlement that has not been taken up) may be acquired by the Joint Lead Managers or sub-underwriters.
By allowing your Entitlement to lapse, you will forgo any exposure to increases or decreases in the value of the New Shares had you taken up your Entitlement and you will not receive any value for your Entitlement. Your interest in WorleyParsons will also be diluted to the extent that New Shares are issued under the Entitlement Offer.
2.11 Payment
You are encouraged to pay your Application Monies using BPAY® if possible. New Zealand Shareholders who do not have an Australian bank account and other shareholders who do not wish to pay using BPAY® will be able to pay by cheque, bank draft or money order (refer to Section 2.13 below).
Cash payments will not be accepted. Receipts for payment will not be issued.
WorleyParsons will treat you as applying for as many New Shares as your payment will pay for in full up to your Entitlement.
Any Application Monies received for more than your final allocation of New Shares will be refunded as soon as practicable after the close of the Retail Entitlement Offer. No interest will be paid to Applicants on any Application Monies received or refunded.
2.12 Payment by BPAY®
For payment by BPAY®, please follow the instructions on the personalised Entitlement and Acceptance Form or available online at www.worleyparsonsretailoffer.com.au. You can only make payment via BPAY® if you are the holder of an account with an Australian financial institution that supports BPAY® transactions.
If you are paying by BPAY®, please make sure you use the specific Biller Code and your unique Customer Reference Number ( CRN ) on your personalised Entitlement and Acceptance Form. If you have multiple holdings and consequently receive more than one personalised Entitlement and Acceptance Form, when taking up your Entitlement in respect of one of those holdings only use the CRN specific to that holding. If you do not use the correct CRN specific to that holding your Application will not be recognised as valid.
Please note that by paying by BPAY®:
-
a. you do not need to submit your personalised Entitlement and Acceptance Form but are taken to make the declarations, representations and warranties on that Entitlement and Acceptance Form and in Section 2.14; and
-
b. if you do not pay for your full Entitlement, you are deemed to have taken up your Entitlement in respect of such whole number of New Shares which is covered in full by your Application Monies.
16
==> picture [152 x 37] intentionally omitted <==
It is your responsibility to ensure that your BPAY® payment is received by the Share Registry by no later than 5:00pm (Sydney time) on Wednesday, 7 November 2018. You should be aware that your financial institution may implement earlier cut-off times with regard to electronic payment, and you should therefore take this into consideration in the timing of when you make payment.
2.13 Payment by cheque, bank draft or money order
WorleyParsons encourages payments by BPAY® if possible.
If you are a New Zealand Shareholder or are otherwise intending to pay by cheque, bank draft or money order you should complete your personalised Entitlement and Acceptance Form in accordance with the instructions on the form and return it accompanied by a cheque, bank draft or money order in Australian currency for the amount of the Application Monies, payable to “ WorleyParsons Offer ” and crossed “ Not Negotiable ”.
It is your responsibility to ensure that your payment by cheque, bank draft or money order is received by the Share Registry by no later than 5:00pm (Sydney time) on Wednesday, 7 November 2018. You must ensure that cleared funds are held in your account as your cheque, bank draft or money order will be banked as soon as it is received. You should consider postal and cheque clearance timeframes in order to meet this deadline.
Your cheque, bank draft or money order must be:
-
a. for an amount equal to $15.56 multiplied by the number of New Shares that you are applying for; and
-
b. in Australian currency drawn on an Australian branch of a financial institution. Payment cannot be made in New Zealand dollars. New Zealand resident Shareholders must arrange for payment to be made in Australian dollars.
Please return your completed application form and cheque, bank draft or money order to the Share Registry at the address below:
Mailing Address

You should ensure that sufficient funds are held in relevant account(s) to cover the Application Monies as your cheque, bank draft or money order will be processed on the day of receipt. If the amount of your cheque, bank draft or money order for Application Monies (or the amount for which the cheque, bank draft or money order clears in time for allocation) is insufficient to pay in full for the number of New Shares you have applied for in your personalised Entitlement and Acceptance Form, you will be taken to have applied for such lower whole number of New Shares as your cleared Application Monies will pay for (and to have specified that number of New Shares on your personalised Entitlement and Acceptance Form). Alternatively, your Application will not be accepted.

Acquisition of Jacobs’ ECR division
WorleyParsons Limited (“WorleyParsons”) (ASX:WOR) has entered into a binding agreement to acquire Jacobs Engineering Group Inc.’s (“Jacobs”) Energy, Chemicals and Resources division (“Jacobs ECR”) for a cash and debt free enterprise value of US$3.3 billion (A$4.6 billion) (“Acquisition”).
The transaction is expected to deliver approximately 20% EPS accretion on an FY18 pro-forma basis (presynergies, transaction and integration costs and acquisition related amortization), increasing to approximately 50% post run-rate cost synergies. Pro forma net debt/FY18 EBITDA (pre synergies) is 2.1x, with expected pro forma leverage of approximately 1.9x at completion.[4,5] The transaction contains customary terms and conditions and is subject to regulatory approvals and certain pre completion restructuring activities within Jacobs. The transaction is expected to complete in the first half of 2019.
Jacobs ECR
Jacobs ECR is a leading global technical services provider across Hydrocarbons, Chemicals and Mining & Minerals. Jacobs ECR has a global footprint with long-term, blue-chip client relationships in key strategic markets, most notably the US, Canada, the Middle East and India. The business has more than 30,900 employees in 27 countries as of September 2018.
Jacobs ECR is ranked number one globally for its delivery of complex petrochemical and chemical projects, its maintenance, modifications and operations (“MMO”) for hydrocarbons projects, including onshore and
1 USD converted to AUD at the spot AUD/USD exchange rate of 0.71. 2 Estimated run rate cost synergies of A$130m p.a., converted to USD at the average AUD/USD exchange rate in FY18 of 0.78. 3 FY18 EPS accretion as if the ECR acquisition was effective from 1 July 2017, presented pre-synergies, transaction and integration costs and acquisition related amortisation.

offshore production facilities and integrated project delivery, construction and technical services. It is ranked number two for its work in the refining industry.[6] Jacobs ECR had aggregated revenue[7] and pro forma EBITDA of US$3.4 billion and US$286 million respectively in FY18.
Acquisition delivers WorleyParsons’ strategic priorities
-
In combining two complementary organizations, WorleyParsons will: � Create a pre-eminent global provider of professional project and asset services in resources and energy;
-
Provide global sector leadership across Hydrocarbons, Chemicals and Minerals & Metals;
-
� Deliver enhanced earnings diversification and resilience, including greater exposure to more stable customer operational expenditure revenues; and
-
Bring significant value upside through cost and revenue synergies.
WorleyParsons expects run rate cost synergies of approximately A$130 million p.a., which are expected to be achieved within two years. One off cost synergy implementation costs are estimated to be approximately A$160 million. It is also anticipated that further benefits will be achieved from optimization and revenue synergies. Optimization will be facilitated via a step change in low-cost delivery capability through increasing Indian Global Integrated Delivery (“GID”) capacity by approximately 3,000 staff. WorleyParsons CEO Andrew Wood said: “The acquisition of Jacobs ECR is important for our customers, shareholders and employees. We are excited to combine Jacobs ECR’s world-class capabilities with our global platform to create a leader across our key focus sectors, with greater earnings diversification and resilience.” “The transaction will bring complementary capabilities in key business lines, including a best-in-class onshore and downstream MMO capability, allowing customers to benefit from an expanded integrated solutions offering. Shareholders will have exposure to material EPS accretion, a strong long-term growth outlook and a conservatively leveraged balance sheet, while our employees will have increased opportunity for development as part of the leading global project delivery provider in our sectors.” Funding The Acquisition will be funded through an underwritten accelerated non-renounceable Entitlement Offer of A$2.9 billion, the issuance of A$985 million in WorleyParsons stock to Jacobs and additional debt of A$895 million. The stock issuance to Jacobs will be at a price of A$16.92 per share, which is equal to the theoretical ex rights price (“TERP”).[8] Jacobs will own approximately 11% of the enlarged WorleyParsons post transaction and these shares will be held in escrow until the later of 6 months post completion and 31 August 2019. The additional debt will be funded via a bridge loan and will be replaced with longer term debt financing from banks and/or capital markets.
6 Global rankings based on ENR 2017 Top 500 Design firms sourcebook. 7 Aggregated revenue – calculated as pro forma revenue net of any pass-through revenues. 8 The theoretical ex-rights price (“TERP”) is the theoretical price at which WorleyParsons shares should trade at immediately after the ex-date for the Entitlement Offer. The TERP is a theoretical calculation only and the actual price at which WorleyParsons shares trade immediately after the ex-date for the Entitlement Offer will depend on many factors and may not equal the TERP. TERP is calculated by reference to WorleyParsons’ closing price of $17.84 on 19 October 2018.

-
12.8% discount to the last close price of $17.84 on Friday, 19 October 2018
-
8.0% discount to TERP of $16.92
Approximately 187 million new WorleyParsons shares will be issued under the Entitlement Offer.

Group Outlook
Driven by continued improvement in market conditions, our resources and energy customers are increasing early phase activity for the next cycle of investment. This is reflected in the recent level of contract awards and our growing backlog. By maintaining our focus and growing our position in the resources and energy markets we expect to deliver improved earnings in FY2019.
Our focus on costs will continue so that operating leverage is delivered as the business grows. We expect to continue to improve our balance sheet metrics in FY2019.
FY2019 results will be impacted by the Jacobs ECR transaction, including holding equity proceeds until closing.
We expect this year’s interim dividend per share to be not less than last year’s interim dividend.

Trading update and outlook[1]
Outlook as per FY2018 results guidance – WorleyParsons is expected to deliver improved earnings in FY2019 on a standalone basis (prior to the impact of the Jacobs ECR transaction)
Driven by continued improvement in market conditions, our resources and energy customers are increasing early phase activity for the next cycle of investment. This is reflected in the recent level of contract awards and our growing backlog. By maintaining our focus and growing our position in the resources and energy markets we expect to deliver improved earnings in FY2019.
Our focus on costs will continue so that operating leverage is delivered as the business grows. We expect to continue to improve our balance sheet metrics in FY2019.
FY19 results will be impacted by the Jacobs ECR transaction, including holding equity proceeds until closing.
We expect this year’s interim dividend per share to be not less than last year’s interim dividend.

General risks
-
There are general risks associated with investments in equity capital such as WorleyParsons shares. The financial performance of WorleyParsons may be affected by a number of factors common to public companies generally or common to companies operating in the industries in which WorleyParsons operates. Generally applicable factors that may affect the market price of WorleyParsons shares include:
-
Movements in the Australian and international equity markets
-
Movements in foreign currency exchange rates
-
Investor sentiment and the liquidity of the market for WorleyParsons shares
-
The level of interest and inflation rates
-
The level of borrowing which WorleyParsons undertakes
-
General Australian and international economic conditions and outlook
-
Geo-political instability, including international hostilities and acts of terrorism
-
Announcements and results of WorleyParsons' competitors
-
Analyst reports; and
-
Government, fiscal, monetary and regulatory policies, including taxation laws
� You should be aware that the price at which WorleyParsons shares are traded on the ASX may rise or fall. No assurances can be given that the New Shares will trade at or above the Offer Price. None of WorleyParsons, its directors or any other person guarantees the market performance of the New Shares.

Specific risks
NOT FOR DISTRIBUTION OR RELEASE IN THE UNITED STATES Appendix Supplementary information
Demand risk in the energy and resources services industry
-
The markets for WorleyParsons’ services are exposed to volatile and cyclical commodity prices, particularly the oil price. Those prices impact demand for WorleyParsons’ customers’ goods and services, the level of outsourcing in the sectors in which WorleyParsons operates, and in particular, the preparedness of customers to fund capital and operating expenditure. This may markedly impact demand for WorleyParsons’ services such that, over relatively short periods, rapid and / or sustained changes in demand may be experienced. Such changes may lead to reduced revenue and increased costs, and overheads may need to be adjusted for efficiency relative to the level of earnings and business size.
-
A number of strategies and processes are in place to mitigate demand risk, including maintaining a diversified business portfolio, retaining a proportion of employees on short notice contracts, seeking contractual protection for project demobilisation, sharing work across locations, and undertaking ongoing overhead efficiency reviews and rationalising overheads where necessary.
Contract management risk
-
Effective contract management seeks to ensure, among other things, appropriate project and customer selection and the effective management of customer expectations. There is a risk that WorleyParsons may fail to manage its contracts appropriately, and as a result, be subject to disputes with customers regarding matters including the payment of fees and liability for costs and delays. Such disputes may be costly, result in liability, and absorb significant amounts of management time.
-
WorleyParsons seeks to mitigate this risk by implementing project delivery processes and procedures, providing training and development to project staff, and appropriately involving legal staff in the contract process.
Project delivery risk
-
WorleyParsons’ ability to achieve superior shareholder returns is substantially influenced by its ability to deliver significant and / or strategically important projects to its customers’ satisfaction. Failure to do so could result in fewer awards of significant projects, and a reduced market position.
-
To mitigate this risk, WorleyParsons regularly reviews its project delivery systems and processes, and project peer reviews. Further to this, the WorleyParsons Academy has been established to further enhance the capability of its people in project management and project delivery.
Increasing competition
-
The markets in which WorleyParsons operates remain highly competitive. The competitive environment can be significantly affected by local market forces, such as new market entrants, production capacity utilization, economic conditions and product demand. Any increased competition from new and existing competitors can impact on WorleyParsons' ability to win new contracts, lead to a loss of market share, and cause a decline in sales and profitability. As a result, WorleyParsons’ ability to develop and implement effective strategies will be a significant ongoing contributor of success.
-
To address this, WorleyParsons has an annual strategy development process where a number of priority areas are reviewed on a regular schedule, utilising both internally and externally supplied market data and business knowledge.

Specific risks
NOT FOR DISTRIBUTION OR RELEASE IN THE UNITED STATES Appendix Supplementary information
Reputation risk
-
The strength of WorleyParsons’ reputation contributes to its success in winning and retaining work, attracting and retaining employees, and securing lines of credit and access to capital. There is a risk that this reputation could be damaged through unethical business practices, poor project outcomes, health and safety incidents or not meeting the market’s expectations of financial performance.

WorleyParsons adopts a range of actions to manage this risk, including requiring all its people to undertake various training, including Code of Conduct training. Other mitigating steps, including those referred to in health and safety risk, project delivery risk, and internal reporting risk, also assist in preserving WorleyParsons’ reputation.
-
Liquidity risk
-
The ability of WorleyParsons to maintain an appropriate level of liquidity, particularly through timely conversion of unbilled contract revenue to cash, impacts returns to shareholders. There is a risk that given current market conditions, customers may delay paying or be unwilling or unable to do so. WorleyParsons seeks to mitigate this risk by focusing on effective working capital management and closely monitoring both cash collection targets and measures of debtor conversion.
Commoditization and automation
-
There is a risk that WorleyParsons may be slow to digitize or automate its internal and external processes which may impact its competitiveness and WorleyParsons’ ability to deliver services efficiently and cost effectively or that it does not manage the transition to new methods of working smoothly resulting in an impact on WorleyParsons’ ability to deliver services to customers on time and within budget. Any of these could impact profitability and carry reputational risk.
-
WorleyParsons has a number of current initiatives led by its internal Capital Allocation Committee which are intended to mitigate the downside associated with commoditization and automation risk, as well as exploit the possible strategic upside associated with commoditization and automation, including the appointment of a director of digital transformation and the development of a digital transformation strategy.
Litigation
- WorleyParsons may become involved in litigation, claims, investigations or disputes from time to time in the course of its business activities. Such litigation, investigations, claims and disputes, including the costs of settling claims and operational impacts, could adversely affect WorleyParsons' financial performance and reputation.
Tax
- The risk that changes in tax law (including goods and services taxes and stamp duties), or changes in the way tax laws are interpreted in the large number of jurisdictions in which WorleyParsons operates, may impact the tax liabilities of WorleyParsons or the taxation treatment of an investment in WorleyParsons shares or the holding and disposal of those shares. WorleyParsons is seeing an increasing trend for Governments change their approach to the regulation and collection of tax. Consequently, there is a risk that the level of taxation imposed on WorleyParsons could change materially as a result of a change in legislation or approach in the countries in which it operates. In addition, the ability of WorleyParsons to obtain the benefit of existing tax losses and claim other beneficial tax attributes will depend on future circumstances and may be adversely affected by changes in ownership, business activities, levels of taxable income and any other conditions relating to the use of the tax losses or other attributes in the jurisdictions in which WorleyParsons operates.

NOT FOR DISTRIBUTION OR RELEASE IN THE UNITED STATES Appendix Supplementary information
Counterparty risk
- WorleyParsons is exposed to credit-related losses if counterparties to contracts fail to meet their obligations. This could occur if customers were to become insolvent or not meet their financial obligations to WorleyParsons and may adversely impact WorleyParsons' revenue and have flow-on impacts to WorleyParsons' credit position.
Key personnel and specialist labor shortage
- WorleyParsons' growth and profitability may be limited by the loss of key management and other personnel, the inability to attract and retain new suitably qualified personnel or by increases in remuneration costs associated with attracting and retaining personnel. WorleyParsons is dependent on the availability of suitably skilled personnel to provide its services and therefore access to labor can sometimes represent an ongoing risk in some parts of the business.
Health and safety
-
WorleyParsons’ operations sometimes require its people to be in high risk geographies, travel long distances by road, be in close proximity to complex operating equipment, and be engaged in construction and operating activities. As such, there is the risk of injury to, or the loss of life of people. To mitigate this risk, WorleyParsons has implemented a OneWayTM framework, which includes the expectation that every one of its people must meet with health, safety and environmental standards. OneWayTM measures are supported by WorleyParsons’ business processes and used in assessing performance.
-
Notwithstanding the preventative measures which WorleyParsons (or any sub-contractor) has taken or may take, it cannot be assured that accidents or unsafe operations will not occur and/or injure WorleyParsons' own personnel or third parties. Such events may result in additional costs and fines, and may jeopardise WorleyParsons' reputation and credibility.
Environment
-
WorleyParsons is subject to a broad range of environmental laws, regulations and standards in each of the jurisdictions in which WorleyParsons operates. This results in significant compliance costs resulting in an increased cost of doing business, and could expose WorleyParsons to legal liability (including potential damage claims or fines for noncompliance) or place limitations on the development of WorleyParsons' operations.
-
WorleyParsons' operations entail risk of environmental damage, and WorleyParsons could incur liabilities in the future arising from the discharge of pollutants by WorleyParsons' clients into the environment, waste disposal practices, or accidents, as well as changes in enforcement policies or newly discovered conditions. To mitigate some of these risks, WorleyParsons continues to implement emissions reduction strategies and to support its customers in their efforts.
Joint ventures
- WorleyParsons and Jacobs ECR are party to a number of joint venture arrangements (both incorporated and unincorporated) and accordingly are subject to risks associated with such arrangements, which include devolved management control and disagreements with joint venture partners regarding operational and financial matters. Where a joint venture partner does not act in the best interests of the joint venture, there is underperformance by the joint venture management team or where the interests of joint venture partners do not align with WorleyParsons, this may adversely affect WorleyParsons' business, financial condition or results of operations.

Cybersecurity risk
-
WorleyParsons’ work relies on the effective processing and storing of information using information technology. With the use of IT systems, there is a risk of unauthorized access, disruption, loss of critical or sensitive data and other security incidents as a result of cyberattacks.
-
WorleyParsons seeks to mitigate this risk through strengthened security measures, continual threat monitoring, user education, and by implementing information security policies in line with international standards.
Country risk
- WorleyParsons and Jacobs ECR operate in a number of countries and regions with developing legal, regulatory and political systems and where the geopolitical climates are challenging. Any deterioration of the geopolitical climate, including the outbreak of war or civil unrest or the imposition of economic sanctions in one or more of WorleyParsons' key markets may require WorleyParsons or its customers to discontinue business operations in the affected country or countries.
Transaction risk
-
WorleyParsons' strategy includes pursuing acquisitions and disposals. There is a risk that these may not always create value for shareholders or that acquisition targets will not be available on commercially reasonable terms. Also, shareholders’ interests may be diluted and shareholders may experience a loss in value of their equity if WorleyParsons issues shares as consideration for acquisitions or if WorleyParsons funds acquisitions through raising equity capital by placing shares with new investors.
-
Insurance
-
Although WorleyParsons maintains insurance that it believes is appropriate to protect against major operating and other risks, not all risks are insured or insurable. WorleyParsons cannot be sure that adequate insurance coverage for potential losses and liabilities will be available in the future on commercially reasonable terms, and may also elect to self-insure and/or carry large deductibles. If WorleyParsons experiences a loss in the future, the proceeds of the applicable insurance policies, if any, may not be adequate to cover replacement costs, lost revenues, increased expenses or liabilities to third parties. This may have a materially adverse effect on WorleyParsons' financial position and performance.
Legislative and regulatory changes
- Changes in the structure and regulation of the industries in which WorleyParsons operates in Australia and elsewhere could materially affect WorleyParsons and its business. WorleyParsons is subject to environmental laws and regulations, occupational health and safety requirements and technical and safety standards, as well as general regulation, including in relation to land use and land access, employment arrangements, native title and cultural heritage and technical regulation. Changes to government policy, law or regulations, or the introduction of new regulatory regimes (for example, in relation to climate change), may lead to an increase in operational costs and may have a materially adverse effect on WorleyParsons and its business.
Changes to accounting policy
- Accounting standards may change. This may affect the reported earnings of WorleyParsons and its financial position from time to time, potentially adversely.
53
Specific risks
NOT FOR DISTRIBUTION OR RELEASE IN THE UNITED STATES Appendix Supplementary information
Internal Reporting Risk
- WorleyParsons operates a complex business which provides a wide range of services in a dynamic environment, while straddling multiple jurisdictions and regulatory frameworks. There is a risk that internal reporting systems may not accurately reflect WorleyParsons’ business performance or objectives, and may therefore result in failure to meet forecasts provided to the market, thereby adversely affecting investor confidence and the Company’s share price. WorleyParsons seeks to mitigate this risk by reviewing and enhancing those systems, and seeking to adapt them to the dynamic business environment.
Climate Change Risk
- Climate change will have both physical and transitional risk implications for the industries we serve. Regulatory and other changes may lead to increased cost, delays or cancellation associated with some projects. Conversely, the pace of other projects such as those associated with new energy may increase. WorleyParsons is committed to being part of the solution, to reducing its emissions intensity and responding to its industry's and customers’ climate change needs.

Transaction risks
Future dividends and franking capacity
-
No assurances can be given in relation to the payment of future dividends. Future determinations as to the payment of dividends by WorleyParsons will be at the discretion of the directors and will depend upon the availability of profits, the operating results and financial condition of WorleyParsons, future capital requirements, covenants in relevant financing agreements, general business and financial conditions and other factors considered relevant by the directors. No assurances can be given in relation to the level of franking of future dividends. Franking capacity will depend upon the amount of Australian tax paid in the future, the existing balance of franking credits and other factors.
-
Acquisition accounting
-
In accounting for the acquisition, WorleyParsons will need to perform a fair value assessment of all of the assets, liabilities and contingent liabilities of Jacobs ECR, which will include the identification and valuation of identifiable intangible assets. For the purposes of the pro forma balance sheet set out in this presentation, no adjustments have been made in respect of potential purchase price allocation impacts (ie the difference between the acquisition price and net assets acquired has all been attributed to intangibles).
-
The formal purchase price allocation exercise may result in a reallocation of the fair value of assets and liabilities in the combined group's balance sheet and may also result in a different depreciation and amortization profile in the combined group’s income statement (and a corresponding increase or decrease in net profit after tax).
Reliance on information provided
-
WorleyParsons undertook a due diligence process in respect of Jacobs ECR, which relied in part on the review of financial and other information provided by the vendors of Jacobs ECR. Despite taking reasonable efforts, WorleyParsons has not been able to verify the accuracy, reliability or completeness of all the information which was provided to it against independent data. Similarly, WorleyParsons has prepared (and made assumptions in the preparation of) the financial information relating to Jacobs ECR (on a stand-alone basis and also to WorleyParsons post-acquisition of Jacobs ECR) included in this presentation in reliance on limited financial information and other information provided by the vendors of Jacobs ECR. WorleyParsons is unable to verify the accuracy or completeness of all of this information. If any of the data or information provided to and relied upon by WorleyParsons in its due diligence process and its preparation of this Presentation proves to be incomplete, incorrect, inaccurate or misleading, there is a risk that the actual financial position and performance of Jacobs ECR and the combined group may be materially different to the financial position and performance expected by WorleyParsons and reflected in this presentation. In particular, WorleyParsons has not been provided with sufficient information to assess Jacobs ECR’s unincorporated joint ventures and existing shareholder arrangements in detail. WorleyParsons intends to address the integration of certain of it and Jacobs ECR’s joint ventures through the integration process.
-
Investors should also note that there is no assurance that the due diligence conducted was conclusive and that all material issues and risks in respect of the acquisition have been identified and avoided or managed appropriately. Therefore, there is a risk that unforeseen issues and risks may arise, which may also have a material impact on WorleyParsons. This could adversely affect the operations, financial performance or position of WorleyParsons.
-
The information reviewed by WorleyParsons includes forward looking information. While WorleyParsons has been able to review some of the foundations for the forward looking information relating to Jacobs ECR, forward looking information is inherently unreliable and based on assumptions that may change in the future.

Analysis of acquisition opportunity
� WorleyParsons has undertaken financial, business and other analyses of Jacobs ECR in order to determine its attractiveness to WorleyParsons and whether to pursue the acquisition. It is possible that such analysis, and the best estimate assumptions made by WorleyParsons, draw conclusions and forecasts that are inaccurate or which will not be realized in due course. To the extent that the actual results achieved by Jacobs ECR are different than those indicated by WorleyParsons' analysis, there is a risk that the profitability and future earnings of the operations of the Combined Group may be materially different from the profitability and earnings reflected in this Presentation.
Equity funding risk
-
WorleyParsons has entered into an underwriting agreement under which UBS AG, Australia Branch and Macquarie Capital (Australia) Limited (together, the "Joint Lead Managers") have agreed to fully underwrite the Entitlement Offer, subject to the terms and conditions of the underwriting agreement between WorleyParsons and the Joint Lead Managers ("Underwriting Agreement"). The Joint Lead Managers’ obligation to underwrite the Offer is conditional on certain customary matters, including WorleyParsons delivering certain certificates, sign-offs and opinions. If certain events occur, the underwriters may terminate the underwriting agreement.
-
Termination of the Underwriting Agreement would have an adverse impact on the amount of proceeds raised under the Entitlement Offer and could affect WorleyParsons' ability to pay the purchase price for the Jacobs ECR acquisition. If the Underwriting Agreement is terminated, WorleyParsons will not be able to terminate the share purchase agreement for the Jacobs ECR acquisition. In these circumstances, WorleyParsons would need to find alternative funding to meet its obligations under the share purchase agreement. Termination of the Underwriting Agreement could materially adversely affect WorleyParsons' business, cash flow, financial condition and results of operations.
Risk of dilution
- Investors who do not participate in the Offer, or do not take up all of their entitlement under the Entitlement Offer, will have their percentage security holding in WorleyParsons diluted by not participating to the full extent in the Entitlement Offer. Investors should also note that as part of the consideration for the acquisition of Jacobs ECR, approximately 11% of the issued capital of the combined entity will be placed to the vendor. Investors may also have their investment diluted by future capital raisings by WorleyParsons. WorleyParsons may issue new shares to finance future acquisitions or pay down debt which may, under certain circumstances, dilute the value of an investor's interest. WorleyParsons will only raise equity if it believes that the benefit to investors of conducting the capital raising is greater than the short term detriment caused by the potential dilution associated with a capital raising.

Transaction risks
Financial capacity of vendors
- If the acquisition completes, there can be no guarantee as to the on-going financial capacity of the vendor of Jacobs ECR. In these circumstances, if a warranty or other claim was made under the share purchase agreement in respect of the acquisition of Jacobs ECR, to the extent that any warranty and indemnity insurance does not cover the particular claim, there is a risk that funds may not be available to meet that claim. Any inability to recover amounts claimed from the vendor could materially adversely affect the WorleyParsons' financial position and distributions.
Separation and integration risk
-
Under Jacobs’ existing supplier, joint venture, customer and other contractual arrangements (including certain rights implied by statute), various rights of review, consent, waiver or approval requirements, termination rights and rights of first refusal arise on a change of control. There is no guarantee that the relevant counterparties will not exercise their rights. If these arrangements are terminated by a counterparty or negotiated on less favourable terms, it may have an adverse impact on WorleyParsons’ financial performance and prospects.
-
� The integration of a business of the size of Jacobs ECR carries risk, including potential delays or costs in implementing necessary changes, and difficulties in integrating various operations. The success of the Jacobs ECR acquisition, and the ability to realize the expected synergy benefits of the acquisition outlined in this presentation, will be dependent on the effective and timely integration of Jacobs ECR business alongside WorleyParsons' business following completion of the acquisition.
-
While WorleyParsons has undertaken analysis in relation to the synergy benefits of the Jacobs ECR acquisition, they remain WorleyParsons' estimate of the synergy benefits expected to be achievable as part of the Jacobs ECR acquisition, and there is a risk that the actual synergies able to be realized as part of the acquisition may be less than expected or delayed, or that the expected synergy benefits of the acquisition may not materialize at all or cost more to achieve than originally expected or dis-synergies may occur. These risks include, amongst others, unforeseen costs relating to integration of some systems (including information technology systems) of both of the businesses.
-
A failure to fully integrate the operations of Jacobs ECR, or a delay in the integration process, could impose unexpected costs that may adversely affect the financial performance and position of WorleyParsons.
Completion risk
- There is a risk that the acquisition of Jacobs ECR may not complete on the currently expected timing, or at all, due to among other factors a failure to satisfy any of the conditions precedent to the Sale and Purchase Agreement, including failure to obtain required regulatory (including CFIUS) and anti-trust approvals, failure to complete the Jacobs ECR carve-out restructure, breach of warranty or covenant (subject to specified materiality thresholds and carve-outs), a material adverse effect on the Jacobs ECR business (subject to specified materiality thresholds and carve-outs) or a law or order of a governmental authority being in effect which prohibits the acquisition. WorleyParsons and Jacobs ECR are required to obtain clearance from CFIUS and obtain certain anti-trust approvals prior to completion. As a condition of obtaining these approvals, WorleyParsons and / or Jacobs ECR may be required to make divestments of certain assets, agree to certain other arrangements or restrictions with governmental authorities and/or incur additional costs. Any such divestments, arrangements, restrictions or costs could prevent or delay completion of the transaction and/or may have a material adverse effect on the financial performance of WorleyParsons post completion. Additionally, if CFIUS approval is not obtained, WorleyParsons will be required to pay US$99 million to Jacobs under the terms of the Sale and Purchase Agreement. If the acquisition was not completed, WorleyParsons would assess the most appropriate way to return proceeds to shareholders. Any failure to consummate the acquisition could materially and adversely affect WorleyParsons and the market price of its shares.
57
NOT FOR DISTRIBUTION OR RELEASE IN THE UNITED STATES Appendix Supplementary information
Transaction risks
Debt funding
-
WorleyParsons intends to fund the acquisition of Jacobs ECR in part by a committed debt bridge of US$636m under a new debt facility. The drawdown of funds under this bridge facility will be subject to conditions usual for debt facilities of this nature and the particular documentation and commercial requirements of WorleyParsons’ bridge lenders. In the event that any of these conditions or requirements are not satisfied, the bridge funding may not be advanced for the purposes of funding the acquisition and the operation of the Jacobs ECR business following completion. In these circumstances, WorleyParsons may need to procure alternative debt financing. There can be no assurance that such alternative debt financing will be available at all or, if it is available, that it will be available on terms no less favorable than those currently proposed. If such alternative debt funding is not available and WorleyParsons is unable to complete the acquisition, WorleyParsons may incur costs in connection with its failure to complete the acquisition.
-
WorleyParsons has various covenants in relation to its debt facilities. In the event that these covenants are breached, WorleyParsons' lenders may cancel their commitments under the facilities and require all amounts payable to them under or in connection with the facilities to be repaid immediately.
-
If WorleyParsons is unable to repay or refinance its debt facilities upon maturity or in the event of a breach of a covenant, WorleyParsons may have to seek further equity funding, dispose of its assets, or enter into new debt facilities on less favorable terms. These factors could materially adversely affect WorleyParsons' ability to operate its business and financial performance.

Historical liabilities
- If the acquisition of Jacobs ECR completes, WorleyParsons will become directly or indirectly liable for any liabilities that Jacobs ECR has incurred in the past, including liabilities which were not identified during its due diligence or which are greater than expected, for which insurance may not be adequate or available, and for which WorleyParsons may not have postclosing recourse under the share purchase agreement. These could include liabilities relating to environmental claims or breaches, contamination, current or future litigation, regulatory actions, health and safety claims, warranty claims and other liabilities. In particular, Jacobs ECR has historical liabilities (including workers compensation claims) relating to employee exposure to asbestos and these liabilities are intended to be retained by Jacobs ECR under the share purchase agreement. Such liabilities may adversely affect the financial performance or position of WorleyParsons post-acquisition.
Jacobs ECR specific risks
-
Jacobs ECR is subject to a number of risks specific to its business including, without limitation, events that impact O&M and EPC markets (including economic factors specific to the oil and gas industry, severe weather, and geo-political events), tight credit markets in relation to project financing, an inability to sustain growth, increased environmental regulation and risk of environmental or compliance liability, lack of capital for continued growth, liability claims in relation to its products or services, increased energy and transportation costs, a failure to compete effectively or increased competition, information technology failures, and unauthorized use or infringement of Jacobs ECR’s intellectual property.
-
Jacobs ECR has significant exposure to the US market. A significant percentage of Jacobs ECR’s revenue is sourced from or referable to operations in the US and any downturn in the US market may therefore adversely affect the financial performance of WorleyParsons post acquisition.

4. Additional information
4.1 Eligibility of Retail Shareholders
The Retail Entitlement Offer is being offered to all Eligible Retail Shareholders only and has been prepared in accordance with section 708AA of the Corporations Act as notionally modified by ASIC.
Eligible Retail Shareholders are Shareholders on the Record Date who:
-
a. have a registered address in Australia or New Zealand or are Approved U.S. Accredited Investor Employee Shareholders or persons that WorleyParsons has (with the prior written agreement of the Joint Lead Managers in their discretion) determined in its discretion are Eligible Retail Shareholders;
-
b. are not in the United States and are not acting for the account or benefit of a person in the United States, or if in the United States, such Shareholders are Approved U.S. Accredited Investor Employee Shareholders;
-
c. are not Eligible Institutional Shareholders or Ineligible Institutional Shareholders (and did not receive an offer under the Institutional Entitlement Offer); and
-
d. are able in compliance with all applicable laws to receive an offer under the Retail Entitlement Offer.
Ineligible Retail Shareholders are Shareholders who are not Eligible Retail Shareholders, Eligible Institutional Shareholders or Ineligible Institutional Shareholders.
WorleyParsons has determined that it is unreasonable to extend the Retail Entitlement Offer to Ineligible Retail Shareholders because of the small number of such Shareholders, the number and value of Shares that they hold and the cost of complying with the applicable regulations in jurisdictions outside Australia and New Zealand.
4.2
Ranking of New Shares
The New Shares issued under the Retail Entitlement Offer will be fully paid and rank equally with Existing Shares.
4.3
Allotment
WorleyParsons has applied for quotation of the New Shares on ASX in accordance with Listing Rule requirements. If ASX does not grant quotation of the New Shares, WorleyParsons will repay all Application Monies (without interest).
Trading of New Shares will, subject to ASX approval, occur shortly after allotment. It is expected that allotment of the New Shares under the Retail Entitlement Offer will take place on
Thursday, 15 November 2018. Application Monies will be held by WorleyParsons on trust for Applicants until the New Shares are allotted. No interest will be paid on Application Monies.
Subject to approval being granted, it is expected that the New Shares allotted under the Retail Entitlement Offer will commence trading on a normal basis on Friday, 16 November 2018.
60
==> picture [152 x 37] intentionally omitted <==
It is the responsibility of Applicants to determine the number of New Shares allotted and issued to them prior to trading in the New Shares. The sale by an Applicant of New Shares prior to receiving their holding statement is at the Applicant's own risk.
4.4 Reconciliation
In any entitlement offer, investors may believe that they own more Existing Shares on the Record Date than they ultimately do. This may result in a need for reconciliation to ensure all eligible Shareholders have the opportunity to receive their full Entitlement.
WorleyParsons may need to issue a small quantity of additional New Shares to ensure all eligible Shareholders have the opportunity to receive their appropriate allocation of New Shares. The price at which these New Shares would be issued, if required, is the same as the Offer Price.
WorleyParsons also reserves the right to reduce the number of an Entitlement or New Shares allocated to eligible Shareholders or persons claiming to be eligible Shareholders, if their Entitlement claims prove to be overstated, if they or their nominees fail to provide information requested to substantiate their Entitlement claims, or if they are not eligible Shareholders.
4.5 Underwriting arrangements
WorleyParsons and the Joint Lead Managers have entered into an Underwriting Agreement. The Joint Lead Managers have agreed to underwrite the Entitlement Offer on the terms and conditions set out in the Underwriting Agreement. The obligations of the Joint Lead Managers are subject to the satisfaction of certain conditions precedent documented in the Underwriting Agreement. Furthermore, in accordance with the Underwriting Agreement, as is customary with these types of underwriting arrangements:
-
a. WorleyParsons has (subject to certain limitations) agreed to indemnify the Joint Lead Managers, their affiliates and their respective officers, directors, partners, employees, agents, advisers and representatives against losses incurred, directly or indirectly, in respect of the Entitlement Offer, the Acquisition the placement in connection with the Acquisition or the appointment of the Joint Lead Managers under the Underwriting Agreement;
-
b. WorleyParsons and the Joint Lead Managers have given certain representations, warranties and undertakings in connection with (among other things) the conduct of the Entitlement Offer;
-
c. the Underwriting Agreement is subject to a number of conditions precedent, and contains various termination events (which if triggered grant the Joint Lead Managers the right to terminate the Underwriting Agreement);
-
d. the conditions precedent to the Underwriting Agreement are generally procedural, relating to matters such as execution of the acquisition agreement, the acquisition agreement having not been terminated, rescinded, repudiated or released, or breached, amended, modified or varied other than in an immaterial respect (without the prior written consent of the Joint Lead Managers) or a condition precedent to it not being satisfied or waived and as a result of which it becomes capable of being terminated by a party, delivery of due diligence documents, delivery of certain opinions and obtaining necessary regulatory approvals;
61
==> picture [152 x 37] intentionally omitted <==
-
e. the termination events relate to a variety of matters, some of which are outside the control of WorleyParsons, and can be categorised as follows (not exhaustive):
-
(i) issues with the Acquisition or Entitlement Offer Documents – for example, that the acquisition agreement has been terminated, rescinded, repudiated, released or breached, amended, modified or varied other than in an immaterial respect (without the prior written consent of the Joint Lead Managers) or a condition precedent in it becomes or is likely to become not capable of being satisfied or waived and as a result of which it becomes capable of being terminated by a party, or a material statement in the Entitlement Offer Documents was false, misleading or deceptive (including by way of omission) or was reasonably likely to mislead or deceive or a material matter required to be included was omitted when the document was issued;
-
(ii) regulatory issues – for example, suspension or delisting from trading on the ASX, regulatory interventions (including ASX not granting permission for quotation of the new shares issued under the Entitlement Offer, and certain orders or investigations by ASIC), or the requirement to lodge a corrective cleansing statement;
-
(iii) WorleyParsons’ business related issues – for example change to the executive or board structure, share capital or WorleyParsons’ constitution, withdrawal of the Entitlement Offer, WorleyParsons or any of its material subsidiaries become insolvent, or there is a breach of the terms, representations, warranties or undertakings of the Underwriting Agreement; and
-
(iv) market related issues – for example certain disruptions to the financial markets or a moratorium on commercial banking activities in certain countries;
The ability of the Joint Lead Managers to terminate the Underwriting Agreement in respect of some events will depend on whether in the reasonable opinion of the relevant Joint Lead Manager the event has or is likely to have a material adverse effect on the success of the Offer, the ability of that Joint Lead Manager to market or promote or settle the Offer, the likely price at which the New Shares will trade on ASX or the willingness of persons to apply for, or settle obligations to subscribe for, New Shares under the Offer, or where it may give rise to a liability for, or result in a contravention by, that Joint Lead Manager.
-
f. WorleyParsons must pay the Joint Lead Managers an underwriting fee equivalent to 1.58% of the proceeds of the Entitlement Offer (less the gross proceeds received by WorleyParsons from John Grill and his affiliated entities) and pay UBS AG, Australia Branch a management and arranging fee of 0.4% of the proceeds of the Entitlement Offer.
-
g. WorleyParsons must also reimburse the Joint Lead Managers for their reasonably incurred costs and expenses in connection with or incidental to the Entitlement Offer, including (but not limited to) legal fees and disbursements, travel and accommodation expenses and stamp duty or similar taxes payable in respect of the Underwriting Agreement.
62
==> picture [152 x 37] intentionally omitted <==
- h. WorleyParsons and not the Joint Lead Managers, is responsible for the contents of, and omissions from, the final form of the Offer Documents (including this Information Booklet) and all public and other media statements made by or on behalf of WorleyParsons in relation to the affairs of the WorleyParsons group, the Entitlement Offer, the Acquisition or the placement in connection with the Acquisition.
Although the issue of New Shares under the Entitlement Offer may increase the voting power of the Joint Lead Managers in the WorleyParsons, the voting power of each of the Joint Lead Managers cannot increase to more than 20%, as such an increase is not permitted under the Corporations Act, and the Underwriting Agreement provides that if such an increase would otherwise occur, issuance of New Shares to the Underwriters would be deferred to the extent necessary to ensure no impermissible increase in voting power occurred. Notwithstanding this, WorleyParsons would receive the full proceeds of the Institutional Entitlement Offer and the Retail Entitlement Offer on the Institutional Settlement Date and the Retail Settlement Date, as the case may be. In the unlikely event that the number of New Shares issued to the Underwriters were temporarily reduced in the manner described above, that would lead to the percentage holdings of other shareholders increasing temporarily.
4.6 Continuous disclosure
WorleyParsons is a “disclosing entity” under the Corporations Act and is subject to regular reporting and disclosure obligations under the Corporations Act and the Listing Rules, including the preparation of annual reports and half yearly reports.
WorleyParsons is required to notify ASX of information about specific events and matters as they arise for the purposes of ASX making that information available to the stock markets conducted by ASX. In particular, WorleyParsons has an obligation under the Listing Rules (subject to certain exceptions) to notify ASX immediately of any information of which it is or becomes aware which a reasonable person would expect to have a material effect on the price or value of WorleyParsons shares. That information is available to the public from ASX.

5. Australian taxation consequences
Below is a general summary of the Australian income tax (including capital gains tax (CGT)), goods and services tax (GST) and stamp duty implications of the Retail Entitlement Offer for Eligible Retail Shareholders.
The comments in this section deal only with the Australian taxation implications of the Retail Entitlement Offer for Eligible Retail Shareholders who:
-
are a resident for Australian income tax purposes; and
-
hold their Shares on capital account.
The comments do not apply to Eligible Retail Shareholders who:
-
are not a resident for Australian income tax purposes;
-
hold their Shares as revenue assets or trading stock (which will generally be the case if you are a bank, insurance company or carry on a business of share trading);
-
are subject to the “TOFA provisions” in Division 230 of the Income Tax Assessment Act 1997 in relation to the Shares; or
-
acquired the Shares in respect of which the Retail Entitlements are issued under any employee share scheme or where the New Shares are acquired pursuant to any employee share scheme.
The summary does not take account of the individual circumstances of particular Eligible Retail Shareholders and does not constitute tax advice. It does not purport to be a complete analysis of the potential tax consequences of the Retail Entitlement Offer and is intended as a general summary of the Australian tax implications. Eligible Retail Shareholders should seek advice from an appropriate professional advisor in relation to the tax implications of the Retail Entitlement Offer based on their own individual circumstances.
The comments below are based on the Australian tax law as it applies as at 9:00am (Sydney time) on Wednesday, 24 October 2018. Other than as expressly discussed, the comments do not take into account or anticipate changes in Australian tax law or future judicial interpretations of law after this time unless otherwise specified. The comments also do not take into account tax legislation of any country other than Australia.
WorleyParsons and its officers, employees, taxation or other advisers do not accept any liability or responsibility in respect of any statement concerning taxation consequences, or in respect of the taxation consequences.
5.1 Issue of Entitlement
The issue of the Entitlement will not in itself result in any amount being included in the assessable income of an Eligible Retail Shareholder.
5.2 Exercise of Entitlement
New Shares will be acquired where an Eligible Retail Shareholder exercises all or part of its Entitlement under the Retail Entitlement Offer.
64
==> picture [152 x 37] intentionally omitted <==
An Eligible Retail Shareholder will not derive any assessable income, or make any capital gain or capital loss at the time of exercising its Entitlement under the Retail Entitlement Offer.
For Australian CGT purposes, New Shares will be taken to have been acquired on the day that an Eligible Retail Shareholder exercises its Entitlement. The cost base of each New Share will be equal to the Offer Price (plus certain non-deductible incidental costs that the Eligible Retail Shareholder incurs in acquiring the New Shares).
5.3 Lapse of Entitlement
If an Eligible Retail Shareholder does not accept all or part of its Entitlement in accordance with the instructions set out above in Section 2, then that Entitlement will lapse. The Eligible Retail Shareholder will not receive any consideration for an Entitlement that is not taken up. There should be no tax implications for an Eligible Retail Shareholder from the lapse of the Entitlement.
5.4 Taxation in respect of dividends on New Shares
Any future dividends or other distributions made in respect of New Shares will be subject to the same income taxation treatment as dividends or other distributions made on Existing Shares held in the same circumstances.
5.5 Disposal of New Shares
The disposal of New Shares will constitute a disposal for CGT purposes.
On disposal of a New Share, an Eligible Retail Shareholder will make a capital gain if the capital proceeds received on disposal exceed the total cost base of the New Share. An Eligible Retail Shareholder will make a capital loss if the capital proceeds are less than the total reduced cost base of the New Share.
Eligible Retail Shareholders that are individuals, complying superannuation entities or trustees and that have held their New Shares for 12 months or more (excluding the date of acquisition and the date of disposal) at the time of disposal should be entitled to apply the applicable CGT discount factor to reduce the capital gain (after the application of current year or carried forward capital losses) under the CGT discount rules. The CGT discount factor is 50% for individuals and trustees and 33.1/3% for complying superannuation entities. Trustees should seek specific tax advice regarding the tax consequences arising to beneficiaries because of the CGT discount.
New Shares will be treated for the purposes of the CGT discount as having been acquired when the Eligible Retail Shareholder exercised its Entitlement. Accordingly, in order to be eligible for the CGT discount, the New Shares must be held for at least 12 months after the date that the Entitlement was exercised.
Eligible Retail Shareholders that make a capital loss can only use that loss to offset other capital gains; the capital loss cannot be used against taxable income on revenue account. However, if the capital loss cannot be used in a particular income year it can be carried forward to use in future income years, provided certain loss utilisation tests are satisfied.
65
==> picture [152 x 37] intentionally omitted <==
5.6 GST
The taking up of the New Shares will be classified as a “financial supply” for Australian GST purposes.
Accordingly, Australian GST will not be payable in respect of amounts paid for the acquisition of the New Shares. Subject to certain requirements, there may be a restriction on the entitlement of Eligible Retail Shareholders to claim an input tax credit for any GST incurred on costs associated with the acquisition of New Shares.
5.7
Stamp duty
Stamp duty will not be payable by Eligible Retail Shareholders in respect of the taking up of New Shares on the assumption that all acquisitions occur when all of the securities in WorleyParsons are quoted on the market operated by the ASX and no Shareholder (together with interests of associated persons and interests acquired under associated transactions) holds an interest of 90% or more in WorleyParsons.
