Adbri received a proposal from CRH and Barro for acquisition

Dec 18, 2023

Adbri Limited (ASX: ABC) has received a non-binding indicative proposal from CRH ANZ Pty Ltd and Barro Group Pty Ltd to acquire the remaining 100% of its issued shares through a scheme of arrangement. The proposal offers Adbri shareholders, excluding Barro Group, a cash consideration of AU$3.20 per share, representing a 41% premium to the last closing price. Adbri has entered into a process and exclusivity deed with CRH and Barro Group, expressing their commitment to advancing the potential transaction exclusively.

The Barro Group currently holds 42.7% of Adbri's issued capital, and CRH's interest includes a 4.6% stake via a cash-settled derivative. The Independent Board Committee intends to recommend the proposal, subject to conditions like a binding Scheme Implementation Agreement and regulatory approvals. The success of the transaction hinges on these factors and an independent expert's ongoing endorsement of the arrangement's fairness and benefits to Adbri shareholders.
