Re: | Notice of Person Ceasing to be a Substantial Shareholder under Section 671B |
Company Secretary:
Enclosed is a Notice under Section 671B of Person Ceasing to be a Substantial Shareholder dated 03 December 2019. Please note that a copy of this report has been sent to the Australian Stock Exchange.
The Capital Group Companies, Inc. ("CGC") is the parent company of Capital Research and Management Company ("CRMC") and Capital Bank & Trust Company ("CB&T"). CRMC is a U.S.-based investment management company that serves as investment manager to the American Funds family of mutual funds, other pooled investment vehicles, as well as individual and institutional clients. CRMC and its investment manager affiliates manage equity assets for various investment companies through three divisions, Capital Research Global Investors, Capital International Investors and Capital World Investors. CRMC is the parent company of Capital Group International, Inc. ("CGII"), which in turn is the parent company of four investment management companies ("CGII management companies"): Capital International, Inc., Capital International Limited, Capital International Sàrl and Capital International K.K. CGII management companies and CB&T primarily serve as investment managers to institutional and high net worth clients. CB&T is a U.S.-based investment management company that is a registered investment adviser and an affiliated federally chartered bank.
Neither CGC nor any of its affiliates own shares of Mesoblast Limited for its own account. Rather, the shares reported on Form 605 are owned by accounts under the discretionary investment management of one or more of the investment management companies that make up CGC.
Please note that CGC or one of its affiliates has made notifications to your company pursuant to Section 671B in the past.
For the purpose of this Notice, an outstanding share balance of 536,679,434 shares was used to calculate the percentage of holdings. We believe this outstanding share balance is correct; however, if this number is not accurate, please contact us as soon as possible so we may make the necessary revisions.
Should you have questions or require additional information, please contact us at (213) 615-0469. Alternatively, you may contact us via e-mail at GRGroup@capgroup.com.
