Seven Group Holdings ("SGH") increases unconditional Boral takeover offer price to $7.30 cash per share

SGH refers to the off-market takeover offer ("Offer") for all of the ordinary shares it does not own in Boral Limited ("Boral"), announced on 10 May 2021.

SGH has now received acceptances under the Offer such that its aggregate interest in Boral Shares is approximately 29.5%.

Increase to the Offer Price

Pursuant to the terms outlined in the Second Supplementary Bidder's Statement of 25 June 2021, the unconditional offer price has increased to $7.30 cash per Boral Share ("Offer Price").

All Boral shareholders who accept, or have accepted, the Offer will receive the increased consideration regardless of when they accept the Offer.

Second Conditional Increase

SGH will further increase the consideration under the Offer to $7.40 cash per Boral Share if it receives acceptances sufficient to increase its aggregate interest to 34.5% or more prior to 5:00pm on Wednesday, 7 July 2021.

Under no circumstances will SGH increase the Offer Price above $7.40 cash per Boral Share.

SGH has also confirmed it will not acquire an interest in any Boral Shares above the final Offer Price at any time during the 12 months following the date on which the Second Supplementary Bidder's Statement was lodged.

Offer Period

Because of the increase in the Offer Price to $7.30, the Offer has been extended and is now scheduled to close at 7.00pm (Sydney time) on Thursday, 15 July 2021. SGH will not extend the Offer Period beyond 15 July 2021, although the Offer may be automatically extended pursuant to the Corporations Act if SGH's interest increases to more than 50% in the last seven days of the Offer Period.
