Dear Sir / Madam
Brambles Limited: Appendix 3C
Brambles refers to its announcement on 25 February 2019 that it intended to return up to A$2.4 billion (US$1.65 billion) of the proceeds of the sale of its IFCO RPC business by way of an on- market share buy-back.
At its 2019 Annual General Meeting (2019 AGM) held on 10 October 2019, Brambles' shareholders approved an extension of the buy-back for the 12-month period ending on 10 October 2020.
Brambles today lodged its Notice of its 2020 Annual General Meeting (2020 AGM) with the ASX. One of the resolutions being proposed at the 2020 AGM is a further extension of the buy-back. Subject to obtaining shareholder approval, it is Brambles intention to commence that extended buy-back after the 2020 AGM.
Attached is an Appendix 3C relating to the extended buy-back. As noted in the Appendix, the buy-back is subject to shareholder approval at the 2020 AGM. In the meantime, Brambles intends to continue buying back shares under the programme approved by shareholders at the 2019 AGM in the lead up to the 2020 AGM.
The release of this announcement was authorised by Robert Gerrard, Company Secretary.
Yours faithfully
Brambles Limited
