CAPITAL MANAGEMENT REVIEW

 

 

25 October 2010 

 

 

Background

The 2010 financial year was dominated by the company undertaking a full operational demerger of the USP business and then subsequently entering into an agreement in May 2010 to sell that business to Oracle for AU$107 million. The agreement provides that AU$23.6 million of the sale proceeds will be held in escrow for between 12 and 24 months. The transaction was completed in early August 2010. The company announced that subsequent to completion, the Board would undertake a capital management review in order to consider the extent to which the cash proceeds in relation to the transaction were excess to the company's ongoing requirements.

 

Outcome of Review

That review has now been completed, with the Board forming the opinion that a return of capital by way of capital reduction is in the best interests of the company and shareholders. Accordingly, at the 2010 annual general meeting, shareholders will be asked to consider, and if they think fit, approve a resolution to reduce the capital of the company, which will involve a return of capital to all shareholders. The implementation of the proposed capital reduction is also conditional on the company obtaining a satisfactory class ruling and private binding ruling from the Australian Taxation Office. If satisfactory rulings are not obtained the proposed capital return will not proceed and other capital initiatives will be considered further by the Board.

 

If these conditions are satisfied, all shareholders will receive a cash payment of $0.33 per share held on the specified record date, with approximately AU$65 million being returned in aggregate to all shareholders.

 

Further details are contained in the 2010 Annual General Meeting Notice of Meeting and Explanatory Memorandum which will be posted to shareholders and placed on the company's website shortly.
