Fulfilment of conditions precedent relating to the sale of Bourke Street Menswear store
Further to the announcement released on the Stock Exchange News Service on 27 May 2020,
wherein the Company updated the market on the status of the sale of Bourke Street Menswear store,
WHL is pleased to announce that all conditions precedent to this transaction have now been fulfilled.
The disposal price for the asset was AU$121 million, which is a favourable outcome. It is anticipated
that the disposal proceeds will be received in early August 2020.
The net disposal proceeds will be applied towards the repayment of debt facilities. This is a key first
step pursuant to the Group´s strategic review of the capital structure of the Australasian entities, which
includes the reduction of its borrowings to ensure a more sustainable funding structure.
Shareholders are reminded that WHL is currently in a closed period and will provide a further update
on its key strategic projects as part of the Group´s financial results for the 52 weeks ended
28 June 2020.
