2. The Offer is materially higher than the range

on average, a 12-month price target for Spotless of $0.74 per

3. Spotless reported 1H17 results that were

materially worse than the prior corresponding

period across a number of key financial metrics

On 28 February 2017, Spotless released its results for the six

months to 31 December 2016 (1H17) (1H17 Results).

Across a number of key financial metrics, Spotless’ financial

performance disclosed in the 1H17 Results and the 1H17 Investor

Presentation was materially lower than the prior corresponding

period (the six months to 31 December 2015 (1H16)), including:

–revenue of $1,455 million, 9.4% below $1,606 million in 1H16;

–EBITDA (excluding exceptional items) of $121 million, 11.8%

below $137 million in 1H16;

–EBITA (excluding exceptional items) of $74 million, 23.6%

below $96 million in 1H16;

–Net Profit After Tax (N PAT) (excluding exceptional items) of

$33 million, 31.4% below $48 million in 1H16; and

–net debt of $848 million, $58 million above net debt at 30

June 2016 of $790 million and $46 million above net debt at

31 December 2015 of $802 million.

As stated in Spotless’ 1H17 Results Announcement, Spotless’

financial performance was impacted by:

–revenue decline due to a number of contract losses;

–increased depreciation from investment in prior years;

–costs associated with investment in business development,

marketing and innovation; and

4 Five broker price targets have been used to determine the 12 month broker price target range and average. The date range of the broker price targets used in determining the

range and average was 28 February 2017 to 1 March 2017. These brokers were selected on the basis of all broker research reports publicly available to Downer that were released

since the announcement of Spotless’ 1H2017 results on 28 February 2017 and prior to the Announcement Date. Downer notes that according to Bloomberg, there were two

other broker price targets available for Spotless that had been released since 28 February 2017 (Downer did not have access to the research reports for these brokers as at the

Announcement Date). Inclusion of these additional two price targets results in an average broker price target of $0.76 and no change to the $0.63 to $0.84 range of broker price

targets. Source: Broker research reports, Bloomberg.

5 Based on Spotless’ share price performance from close of trading on 27 February 2017 (the last trading day prior to the announcement of Spotless’ 1H17 results) to close of

trading on 20 March 2017 (the last trading day prior to announcement of the Offer).

5 Downer EDI Limited
–ongoing restructure of the business and ‘strategy reset’.

Since the release of the 1H17 Results, Spotless’ share price has

declined 23.7%.

5

4. Spotless has significantly reduced its recent

dividend and has reset its dividend policy

In its 1H17 Results Announcement, Spotless stated it had reset

its dividend payout ratio to 40% to 60% of Adjusted NPAT

6


(from a previous payout ratio of 65% to 75% of Adjusted NPAT).

In accordance with the reset dividend policy, and as disclosed in

the 1H17 Results Announcement, Spotless stated that its 1H17

dividend per share would be 1.35 cents, being 61.4% lower than

the 3.5 cents per share dividend announced in 1H16. The 1H17

dividend represents a payout ratio of 40% (the bottom end of the

revised range).

As stated by Spotless in its 1H17 Results Announcement, the

resetting of Spotless’ dividend policy was in part due to its

level of net debt as at 31 December 2016 which represented a

net leverage ratio of 2.7x.

7

The resetting of Spotless’ dividend

policy was consistent with its “near term priority of reducing

gearing and strengthening our balance sheet.”

8

Spotless also

stated it was “targeting a reduction of net leverage to ~2.5x

by June 2018.”

9


5. Spotless’ FY17 NPAT guidance range implies

a 31% to 39% decline from its FY16 NPAT and is

also dependent upon a substantial increase in

NPAT from 1H17 to 2H17

In Spotless’ 1H17 Results Announcement, Spotless stated that

subject to economic conditions FY17 NPAT (pre-exceptional

items) was expected to be between $80-90 million. This implies

a 31% to 39% decline from FY16 NPAT (at the high to low end of

the guidance range respectively).

As noted in Spotless’ 1H17 Results Announcement, this reflects:

–business development returns being slower than expected;

–benefits of business development to date offset by weaker

business performance in the Business and Industry,

Construction and Resources sectors; and

–increases in depreciation and investment in

business development.

In its 1H17 Results Announcement, Spotless reported 1H17 NPAT

(pre-exceptional items) of $33 million. This implies that, in order

to achieve its FY17 guidance range of NPAT (pre-exceptional

items) of $80-90 million, NPAT (pre-exceptional items) in 2H17

would need to be $47-57 million.

6. Spotless’ share price has underperformed

the ASX200 index in the 24 months prior to the

Announcement Date

Spotless’ share price has fallen 67.9% from $2.26 (the closing

price on 20 March 2015) to $0.725, the closing price on 20

March 2017, being the last trading day before the Announcement

Date. By contrast, over the same period the ASX200 Index

has fallen 3.3%.

7. The Offer is an all cash offer with

a certain value

The Offer provides Spotless Shareholders with an opportunity

to realise certain cash value for their Spotless Shares, with

no transaction costs and no exposure to the potential risks

associated with a continuing investment in Spotless.

If you accept the Offer and the Offer becomes

unconditional, you will:

–be paid $1.15 for each of your Spotless Shares;

–not incur any brokerage fees; and

–receive your cash consideration by the earlier of:

–21 days after the end of the Offer Period; and

–within one month after the date the Offer becomes, or is

declared, unconditional.

Reasons why you should accept Downer Services’ Offer (continued)

6 Adjusted NPAT as defined by Spotless in its 1H17 Investor Presentation to exclude exceptional items including goodwill impairment, other intangible asset write-downs,

PP&E write-downs, other asset write-downs, onerous contracts provision and other provisions and accrual.

7 Net leverage ratio is defined by Spotless in the 1H17 Results as net debt/EBITDA and excluding exceptional items.

Bidder’s Statement 6
8. Accepting the Offer removes your exposure

to the risks associated with a continued

investment in Spotless

Downer Services believes that the Offer represents compelling

value for your Spotless Shares.

As a Spotless Shareholder, you are subject to a number of risks

that may affect the market price of Spotless Shares, including,

but not limited to:

–the uncertain future market price of Spotless Shares, in the

absence of the Offer and/or any other superior proposal;

–the outcome of the Class Action which, although Spotless

has stated it strongly denies the allegations and will

vigorously defend them, is uncertain and may have financial

consequences for Spotless; and

–the possibility that Spotless’ stated near term priorities to

reduce gearing and strengthen its balance sheet will not

be achieved or may take longer to achieve in which event

Spotless’ dividend policy may need to be further reset to

reduce dividends.

Accepting the Offer removes your exposure to these

risks assuming the Defeating Conditions have been

satisfied or waived.

9. Spotless’ Share Price may fall if the Offer

is not successful and no alternative superior

proposal emerges

In the month prior to the Announcement Date, the VWAP of

Spotless Shares was $0.810 per Spotless Share.

11

Since the

announcement of Spotless’ 1H17 Results, the VWAP of Spotless

Shares (up to the last trading day before the Announcement

Date) was $0.791 per Spotless Share.

12

Since the announcement of the Offer on 21 March 2017, Spotless

Shares have traded in the range of $1.025 to $1.110 per share.

13


The last recorded price of a Spotless Share prior to the date of

this Bidder’s Statement (being close of trade on 7 April 2017) is

$1.085 per share.

Although many factors affect the price of any given quoted

security, if the Offer does not proceed and no alternative superior

proposal emerges, the Spotless share price is likely to trade at

a substantial discount to the Offer Price.

1.6 Publicly available information

1. Information on Downer (continued)

11 Downer EDI Limited
2 .1 Overview

This section 2 sets out Downer Services’ intentions in relation to:

–the continuation of the business of Spotless;

–any major changes to the business of Spotless and any

redeployment of the fixed assets of Spotless;

–changes to the Board of Spotless; and

–the future employment of the present employees of Spotless.

Downer Services is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Downer.

The intentions, views, understanding and beliefs of Downer

Services as set out in this section 2 are the same as those of

Downer and both are collectively referred to as the intentions of

Downer Services in this section 2.

These intentions are based on publicly available information

concerning Spotless, its business and the general business

environment that is known to Downer Services at the time of

preparation of this Bidder’s Statement.

As at the date of this Bidder’s Statement no due diligence has

been conducted on Spotless’ non-public confidential information.

Therefore Downer Services does not currently have full

knowledge of all material information, facts and circumstances

that are necessary to assess the operational, commercial, tax,

regulatory and financial implications of its current intentions.

Final decisions regarding these matters will only be made

by Downer Services once it has access to Spotless’ internal

confidential information and in light of the circumstances at the

relevant time.

Accordingly, the statements set out in this section 2 are

statements of current intention only, which may change as

new information becomes available to Downer Services and as

circumstances change.

2.2 Intentions upon acquisition of 90% or more

of all Spotless Shares

This section sets out Downer Services’ current intentions if

Downer Services acquires a relevant interest in 90% or more of

the Spotless Shares and it is entitled to proceed to compulsory

acquisition of the remaining Spotless Shares under the

Corporations Act.

(a) Corporate matters

It is intended that Downer Services would:

(i) proceed with compulsory acquisition of the outstanding

Spotless Shares (including any Spotless Shares which

come into existence within the period of six weeks after

Downer Services gives the compulsory acquisition

notice due to conversion or exercise of LTI Awards) in

accordance with the provisions of Chapter 6A of the

Corporations Act;

(ii) arrange for Spotless to be removed from the official

list of the ASX;

(iii) replace the Spotless Board with Downer

Services nominees; and

(iv) proceed to compulsory acquisition of the Spotless LTI

Awards which have not been converted or exercised and

that have not lapsed.

(b) Spotless’ business and assets

Spotless’ business does not materially overlap with Downer’s

business and Downer and Spotless are not material competitors.

Notwithstanding this, Downer expects a combination of the

Downer and Spotless businesses to deliver pre-tax cost

synergies of approximately $20-40 million per annum over

time. These synergies are expected to be generated by

integrating board and head office teams, integrating reporting

systems, reducing listing, statutory and regulatory costs and

achieving costs savings under the insurance platforms of

both groups. Downer Services has no current intention to

change the business of Spotless, nor to redeploy any of the

Spotless fixed assets.

If Downer Services acquires all of the Spotless Shares, Downer

Services intends to conduct a broad-based general review of

Spotless’ corporate structure, assets, businesses, employees

and operations. This review will focus on ensuring that Spotless’

business and assets operate efficiently and competitively with

a view to increasing customer service and levels of customer

satisfaction. The review will include Spotless’ internal confidential

information to which Downer has not had access and is expected

to take at least three months.

The outcome of this general review may result in changes to

the structure of the operating businesses, including changes to

the way the businesses are managed or operated, changes to

the number of employees and their functions required in each

operating business and the possible divestment of certain assets

or businesses. Downer Services does not have any specific

intentions in relation to this review or its outcomes. The review

is expected to result in the creation of a new service line, being

a separate division for external reporting and management

purposes (for details of Downer’s existing service lines see

section 1.3 above).

(c) Future employment of employees

Recognising that Downer and Spotless’ businesses do not

materially overlap, subject to the broad-based general review

discussed above and the matters referred to below, Downer

generally intends to retain the services of Spotless’ current

employees in the ordinary course.

However, there may be cases where particular roles may no

longer be required because of duplication with Downer’s

existing employees, such as head office, senior executive

and administrative functions. Therefore it is likely that certain

positions may become redundant, including before the review

is completed. Where appropriate having regard to the position

held by the relevant employee, Downer will attempt to identify

opportunities for alternative employment within the Downer

2. Downer Services’ Intentions

Bidder’s Statement 12
Group. Employees who are to be made redundant will receive all

entitlements in compliance with applicable legislative awards or

contractual requirements and they will be paid any redundancy

amounts in accordance with their legal entitlements.

2.3 Intentions upon acquisition of less than 90%

of all Spotless Shares

This section sets out Downer Services’ present intentions if

Downer Services acquires less than 90% of all Spotless Shares

(in instances where the minimum acceptance Defeating

Condition is waived by Downer Services and the other

Defeating Conditions are either waived or satisfied).

The intentions in this section will be subject to:

(i) the outcome of the Offer and the size of Downer Services’

shareholding at that time;

(ii) compliance with applicable Corporations Act requirements

and the ASX Listing Rules, in particular in relation to related

party transactions and conflicts of interests;

(iii) the legal obligation of the directors of Spotless (including

Downer Services’ nominees on the Spotless Board) to act

for proper purposes and in the best interests of Spotless

Shareholders as a whole; and

(iv) the outcome of the review described in section 2.2(b).

Subject to such limitations, Downer Services’ intentions in

relation to the acquisition of less than 90% of all Spotless

Shares include:

(a) Corporate matters

(i) subject to the Corporations Act and Spotless’ constitution,

seeking to appoint a number of nominees to the Spotless

Board such that the proportion which Downer Services’

nominees represent of the total number of directors on

the Spotless Board equals or exceeds Downer Services’

proportionate ownership interest in Spotless. In this scenario,

where Downer Services acquires greater than 50% of all

Spotless Shares, it will seek to appoint a majority of Downer

Services’ nominees to the Spotless Board and may, in its

discretion, seek to retain one or more of the existing directors

of Spotless on the Spotless Board. Downer Services has

not made any decision as to who would be nominated for

appointment to the Spotless Board in this case but expects

such nominees will be persons with appropriate experience,

qualifications and skills for Spotless’ business and to

implement Downer’s intentions for Spotless;

(ii) seeking to engage with the Spotless Board with a view to

reaching agreement to undertake a broad-based general

review of Spotless’ corporate structure as discussed

in section 2.2(b) and to implement any operational

efficiencies and enhancements that may be identified in

the review process. This may include the appointment of

senior managers who have an understanding of Downer’s

management systems and to streamline functions which may

be duplicated within Downer and Spotless;

(iii) seeking to capitalise on any opportunities for Downer and

Spotless to co-operate in expanding their respective revenue

generating opportunities; and

(iv) seeking to have Spotless removed from the official list of ASX

in the circumstances set out below if applicable.

ASX guidance indicates that ASX would likely approve an

application for Spotless to be removed from the official

list of ASX without the need for shareholder approval if

an application is made within a month of the end of the

Offer Period and if:

(A) at the end of the Offer, the Downer Group owns or

controls at least 75% of the Spotless Shares and the Offer

remained open for at least two weeks after the Downer

Group attained ownership or control of at least 75% of the

Spotless Shares; and

(B) the number of Spotless Shareholders (other than the

Downer Group) having holdings with a value of at least

$500 is fewer than 150.

In addition, ASX guidance indicates that ASX would likely

approve an application for Spotless to be removed from

the official list of ASX with shareholder approval and,

where such removal is sought later than 12 months after

the close of the Offer, Downer Services would be entitled

to vote on the resolution approving the removal.

(b) Dividend Policy and Capital Management Policy

Downer Services will seek to include in the general review that

is referred to in section 2.3(a)(i) a review of Spotless’ dividend

policy and capital management policy to determine whether

these are adequate, sustainable, or appropriate for Spotless,

having regard to current and future earnings, debt levels,

bonding requirements, capital and other commitments.

If a conclusion of the review is that Spotless should adopt a more

conservative capital management policy and reduce leverage

or, independently of the review, the Spotless Board comes to

the conclusion that a more conservative capital management

policy is justified, this may lead to a number of outcomes

including the need for Spotless to raise additional equity,

including from its shareholders, or to reduce its dividends, or a

combination of both.

Subject to the outcome of such review and Spotless’ trading

performance at the time, Downer Services expects that it

would support any capital raising for the purpose of reducing

Spotless’ debt, on at least a pro rata basis to its shareholding in

Spotless at the time.

(c) Spotless Debt Financing

(i) Background

Downer Services does not have access to the full terms of

Spotless’ debt financing arrangements. However, Downer

Services expects that the Offer may give rise to certain

change of control or review events within Spotless’ debt

funding arrangements (the Spotless Debt Facilities). In

2. Downer Services’ Intentions (continued)

13 Downer EDI Limited
particular, according to the Spotless Prospectus, a change of

control, a delisting or a suspension from trading on the ASX

of 10 consecutive business days gives rise to a review event

under the Spotless Debt Facilities.

According to Spotless’ 1H17 Results, Spotless had committed

debt facilities of $1,057.4 million, of which $887.4 million were

drawn as at 31 December 2016.

While Spotless has indicated in the 2016 Annual Report

that the terms of its debt facilities were renegotiated on

more favourable terms, Downer Services anticipates that

the change of control or review event clauses which were

described in the Spotless Prospectus may still be in place

which, if triggered, can cause the facilities to become

repayable in the circumstances where Downer has control of

Spotless (for example, by holding more than 50% of Spotless

Shares) when there remain minority shareholders.

(ii) Target Debt Standby Bridge Commitment

In light of the above, Downer Group Finance Pty Ltd (Downer

Finance) has entered into a binding commitment letter on

21 March 2017 with BNP Paribas, Sydney Branch, Mizuho

Bank, Ltd., Sydney Branch and UBS AG, Australia Branch

(each a mandated lead arranger, underwriter and bookrunner

(MLAUB)) for an A$1.1 billion bridge loan (Target Debt

Standby Bridge Commitment). The Target Debt Standby

Bridge Commitment will be available to Spotless and certain

of its subsidiaries to refinance the Spotless Debt Facilities

and for working capital purposes in the ordinary course of

business of Spotless, in a situation where Downer Services

has acquired a relevant interest in more than 50% but less

than 100% of the Spotless Shares (Spotless Change of

Control). The Target Debt Standby Bridge Commitment will

only be available on the terms and subject to the conditions

of the Target Debt Standby Bridge Commitment to refinance:

–facility limits or commitments of the Spotless Debt

Facilities which are required to be repaid or are cancelled

as a consequence of a Spotless Change of Control; or

–the Spotless Debt Facilities which expire and are not able

to be extended or replaced during the period in which

Downer Services has a relevant interest in more than

50% and less than 100% of the Spotless Shares.

Any Facility Agreement (a Target Replacement Facility

Agreement) entered into pursuant to the Target Debt

Standby Bridge Commitment will be under the Spotless

credit platform and will be non-recourse to Downer and

the Downer Group. It will be a decision of the Spotless

Board as to whether to utilise the Target Debt Standby

Bridge Commitment.

If Downer Services acquires all the Spotless Shares (at

the Wholly Owned Date), it will endeavour to amend the

Spotless Debt Facilities and any Target Replacement Facility

Agreement to conform to the Downer credit platform. In

order to effect this after the Wholly Owned Date, the Target

Debt Standby Bridge Commitment includes an agreement

by the MLAUBs to restate any Target Replacement Facility

Agreement on the Downer credit platform and to refinance

the remaining Spotless Debt Facilities up to a combined limit

of up to $1.1 billion onto the Downer credit platform.

The Target Debt Standby Bridge Commitment is separate

to the funding arrangements to fund the cash consideration

under the Offer as discussed in section 3.

(d) Further acquisition of Spotless securities

Downer Services may, at some later time, acquire further

Spotless securities in a manner consistent with the

Corporations Act.

(e) Compulsory acquisition at a later time

If Downer Services becomes entitled at some later time to

exercise general compulsory acquisition rights under the

Corporations Act in respect of Spotless securities, it may

exercise those rights.

2.4 Other intentions

Subject to the above it is the present intention of Downer

Services, on the basis of the information concerning Spotless

which is known to it and the existing circumstances affecting the

business of Spotless, that:

(a) the business of Spotless will otherwise be continued

in substantially the same manner as it is presently

being conducted;

(b) no other major changes will be made to the business of

Spotless and there will not be any other redeployment of the

fixed assets of Spotless; and

(c) the present employees of Spotless will otherwise continue to

be employed by Spotless.

2. Downer Services’ Intentions (continued)

Bidder’s Statement 14
3.1 Consideration under the Offer

The consideration for the acquisition of the Spotless Shares

to which the Offer relates will be satisfied by the payment by

Downer Services of cash (in Australian dollars).

The consideration offered for each of your Spotless Shares is

$1.15, subject to section 7.17(d).

The maximum cash amount which may be required by Downer

Services to settle acceptances under the Offer is $1,089.2 million

(Maximum Cash Consideration).

The Maximum Cash Consideration has been

calculated on the basis:

Bidder’s Statement; and

(b) that 13,601,476 Spotless Shares are issued as a result of all

LTI Awards vesting (if applicable) and being exercised or

converted during the Offer Period.

includes an offer being made for Spotless Shares pursuant to a

takeover bid under Chapter 6 of the Corporations Act), the LTI

Awards automatically vest on a pro rata basis. Those LTI Awards

that do not automatically vest on a pro rata basis may vest

subject to the discretion of the Spotless LTI plan committee.

Anticipated costs and expenses to be incurred by

Downer in connection with the Offer are expected to be

approximately $15 million.

3.2 Source of funds

Downer Services’ acquisition of the Spotless Shares under the

Offer will be funded through a combination of:

–an unsecured senior syndicated term loan bridge facility

to be provided by certain of Downer’s existing financiers

(New Loan Facility) as described further in section

3.2(a) below; and

–proceeds of an accelerated pro rata entitlement offer of

shares in Downer (Downer Shares) with retail rights trading

to raise approximately $1,011 million (the Entitlement Offer).

The Entitlement Offer will be fully underwritten (as to the

amount of cash proceeds to be raised) by UBS AG, Australia

Branch (the Underwriter) pursuant to the terms and

conditions of an Underwriting Agreement dated 21 March

2017 (the Underwriting Agreement).

to arrange, underwrite and provide the New Loan Facility

pursuant to the terms of the existing common terms

deed poll (including guarantee) by, amongst others,

–such later date as agreed between the parties to the

(C) (No litigation or governmental, administrative

representations regarding status, due authority,

binding obligations and accuracy of information;

(E) (Major Default) “major default” subsisting or

to allow payment in full of the debt funded component of

governmental, administrative or judicial actions, actual or

circumstance which would lead to a “major default”

–any circumstance which would make it unlawful for the

financiers to provide the New Loan Facility.

(b) Equity Funding

On 21 March 2017, Downer announced the Entitlement Offer.

The Entitlement Offer is structured as follows:

–an accelerated institutional entitlement offer

(Institutional Entitlement Offer), under which eligible

institutional shareholders of Downer will be invited to

take up all or part of their entitlement to subscribe for

Downer Shares at a fixed price (Entitlement Offer

Price). Any entitlements not taken up, together with the

entitlements of ineligible institutional shareholders, will be

sold through an institutional bookbuild; and

–a retail entitlement offer with retail rights trading (Retail

Entitlement Offer), under which:

–eligible retail shareholders will be invited to

take up all or part of their entitlement at the

Entitlement Offer Price;

–the entitlements can be taken up in whole or in part,

or traded on ASX (or transferred directly to another

person) in whole or part by eligible shareholders; and

–any retail entitlements not taken up, together with the

entitlements of ineligible retail shareholders, will be

sold through a retail bookbuild.

–The Retail Entitlement Offer will be conducted

immediately after the close of the Institutional

Entitlement Offer.

The Entitlement Offer will be conducted in accordance

with a timeline under which the funds received by Downer

will be available for use prior to the time that settlement of

acceptances under the Offer will be required.

The Institutional Entitlement Offer settled on 31 March 2017,

with A$757 million being raised.

It is expected that the Retail Entitlement Offer will settle on

21 April 2017, with the proceeds under the Retail Entitlement

Offer being raised on or about this date.

Downer will announce on ASX the results of the Retail

Entitlement Offer, including the proceeds raised at

settlement, as and when it occurs.

The Entitlement Offer will be fully underwritten by the

Underwriter subject to the terms of an Underwriting

Agreement between Downer and the Underwriter. The

Underwriter may terminate the Underwriting Agreement

upon the occurrence of certain prescribed circumstances

(Termination Events). A summary of the Termination Events

is set out in Annexure A.

3. Sources of Cash Consideration (continued)

Bidder’s Statement 16
As the proceeds of the Institutional Entitlement Offer and

Retail Entitlement Offer are expected to be received by no

later than 21 April 2017, Downer will have these funds before

the earliest date that Downer Services will be required to pay

for acceptances under the Offer.

(c) Intercompany Facility

The proceeds raised by Downer under the Entitlement

Offer will be advanced to Downer Finance under an

intercompany facility between Downer and Downer Finance

(Intercompany Facility).

The terms of the Intercompany Facility are set out in a

commitment letter from Downer dated 20 March 2017,

which has been accepted by Downer Finance. In summary,

the Intercompany Facility enables the proceeds raised

by Downer under the Entitlement Offer, to be advanced

by Downer to Downer Finance, thereby enabling Downer

Finance to advance to Downer Services the same funds

under the Holdings Facility (described below), for the

purposes of acquiring Spotless Shares under the Offer and

paying associated transaction costs.

The Intercompany Facility is interest free and unsecured.

There are no conditions precedent to Downer Finance’s

drawdown of the funds under the Intercompany Facility.

3.3 Availability of funding to Downer Services –

Holdings Facility

The cash consideration for the Offer and the funds required to

satisfy other obligations of Downer Services relating to the Offer

(including stamp duty, adviser fees and other transaction costs)

will be provided under a loan facility which Downer Services has

entered into with Downer Finance (Holdings Facility).

Downer Services and Downer Finance are wholly-owned

subsidiaries of Downer.

Under the Holdings Facility, Downer Finance has agreed to

advance to Downer Services the amounts drawn down under the

New Loan Facility and raised under the Entitlement Offer which

4. Information on Spotless and Spotless Shares (continued)

14 As per the Appendix 3B released by Spotless on 24 November 2016.

19 Downer EDI Limited
5.1 Introduction

This section provides a general outline of the Australian taxation

implications for Spotless Shareholders from disposing of their

Spotless Shares in return for cash pursuant to the Offer. The

information in this section is based upon Australian taxation law

and practice in effect at the date of this Bidder’s Statement.

The taxation consequences to Spotless Shareholders of

disposing of their Spotless Shares depend on a number of

factors and will vary depending on their particular circumstances.

The outline provided in this section is of a general nature only

and does not consider any specific facts or circumstances that

may apply to particular Spotless Shareholders.

Spotless Shareholders should not rely on the disclosure of

taxation considerations in this Bidder’s Statement as being

advice on their own affairs and should seek their own specific

professional tax advice as to the taxation implications applicable

to their circumstances. Neither Downer nor any of its Directors

or advisers accept any liability or responsibility in respect of any

statement concerning the taxation consequences to particular

Spotless Shareholders from disposing of their Spotless Shares.

The following comments only apply to Spotless Shareholders

who hold their Spotless Shares on capital account.

This section does not deal with Spotless Shareholders who:

–hold their shares in the course of carrying on a business

(eg as trading stock) or on revenue account (eg as part of a

profit-making undertaking or scheme);

–acquired their Spotless Shares pursuant to an employee

share, rights or option scheme; or

–are subject to the Taxation of Financial Arrangements

provisions in Division 230 of the Income Tax

Assessment Act 1997 (Cth),

and does not deal with the implications of disposing of Spotless

Shares under the taxation laws of countries other than Australia.

5.2 Australian resident shareholders

This section 5.2 applies to Spotless Shareholders who are

residents of Australia for Australian income tax purposes.

(a) CGT event

A disposal by a Spotless Shareholder of their Spotless

Shares pursuant to the Offer will constitute a CGT event for

the Spotless Shareholder. The date of the CGT event will

be the date the contract to dispose of the Spotless Shares

is entered into by the Spotless Shareholder, or in the case

of a compulsory acquisition, the date when the Spotless

Shareholder ceases to be the owner of the Spotless Shares.

(b) Calculation of capital gain or capital loss

Spotless Shareholders will make a capital gain to the extent

that the capital proceeds from the disposal of the Spotless

Shares are more than the cost base of those Spotless Shares.

Conversely, Spotless Shareholders will make a capital loss

to the extent that the capital proceeds from the disposal are

less than their reduced cost base of those Spotless Shares.

(c) Cost base

The cost base of the Spotless Shares generally includes

the purchase price paid for the shares and certain non-

deductible incidental costs of their acquisition and disposal.

The reduced cost base of the Spotless Shares is usually

determined in a similar, but not identical, manner.

(d) Capital proceeds

The capital proceeds from a disposal of Spotless Shares

is generally the amount of consideration received by the

Spotless Shareholder for the disposal.

(e) Other issues

If a Spotless Shareholder makes a capital gain from a

disposal of their Spotless Shares, the capital gain is

aggregated with other capital gains made by the Spotless

Shareholder in the same income year. Any available capital

losses of the Spotless Shareholder from the same or previous

income years may then be offset against the capital gains

(subject to satisfaction of loss recoupment tests). If there is

a capital gain remaining after application of available capital

losses, the Spotless Shareholder may be entitled to apply a

discount (see below). Any net capital gain after applying the

discount (if applicable) is included in assessable income of

the Spotless Shareholder in that income year.

Individuals, complying superannuation entities and trusts

that have held the CGT asset to which the capital gain relates

for at least 12 months before the CGT event may be entitled

to discount the amount of the capital gain (after application

of capital losses) by 50% in the case of individuals and trusts

or by 33⅓% for complying superannuation entities. For trusts,

the ultimate availability of the discount for beneficiaries

of the trust in relation to distributions of capital gains by

the trust will depend on the particular circumstances of

the beneficiaries. No discount is available for Spotless

Shareholders which are companies.

If a Spotless Shareholder makes a capital loss from the

disposal of their Spotless Shares, the capital loss may only be

used to offset capital gains of the Spotless Shareholder in the

same or future income years (subject to satisfaction of loss

recoupment tests).

5. Taxation Considerations

Bidder’s Statement 20
5.3 Non-resident shareholders

This section 5.3 applies to Spotless Shareholders who are not

residents of Australia for Australian income tax purposes.

The disposal of Spotless Shares will generally only result

in Australian CGT implications to a non-resident Spotless

Shareholder if the Spotless Shares are ‘taxable Australian

property’ at the time of the CGT Event.

Shares that meet the following conditions are ‘indirect

Australian real property interests’ and are included in taxable

Australian property:

–that Spotless Shareholder together with its associates held

ten percent or more of the total shares on issue in Spotless

at the time of the CGT event or for any 12 month period

within two years preceding the CGT event (referred to as a

‘non-portfolio interest’); and

–the aggregate market value of Spotless assets which is

attributable to ‘taxable Australian real property’ (including

interests in Australian real property and leases of Australian

real property) exceeds the aggregate market value of

Spotless assets which are not taxable Australian real

property (referred to as satisfying the ‘principal asset test’).

Non-resident Spotless Shareholders who hold a ‘non-portfolio

interest’ in Spotless should obtain independent tax advice as to

the tax implications to them of the disposal.

5.4 Non-resident CGT withholding rules

From 1 July 2016, broadly, purchasers that acquire indirect

Australian real property interests that are shares (as described

in section 5.3) in an off-market acquisition may, subject to

certain exceptions, be required to withhold ten percent of the

consideration and pay that amount to the Australian Taxation

Office (ATO). In certain circumstances, the ATO may agree to

a lower withholding rate.

The withholding tax is not a final tax, and the shareholder

receives a credit for amounts withheld on filing an Australian

tax return and may receive a refund of tax if amounts have been

withheld in excess of their actual Australian tax liability.

Downer Services may make a withholding from the cash

consideration payable to a Spotless Shareholder for the

disposal of their Spotless Shares where:

–Downer Services knows or reasonably believes that the

Spotless Shareholder is a non-resident or the Spotless

Shareholder has an overseas address or Downer Services

is authorised to pay the consideration overseas (in a case

where Downer Services does not reasonably believe that the

Spotless Shareholder is an Australian resident); and

–the Spotless Shares for that Spotless Shareholder are

indirect Australian real property interests (as described in

section 5.3 of this Bidder’s Statement).

If Downer Services considers that it has an obligation to make

the withholding from the cash consideration payable to a

Spotless Shareholder for the disposal of their Spotless Shares,

it may withhold the applicable amount from the consideration

payable to the relevant Spotless Shareholder. In accordance

with section 7.21(f), where Downer Services pays the withheld

amount to the ATO, Downer Services will be discharged of

any liability to pay that amount of the consideration to the

Spotless Shareholder.

However, in relation to this Offer, based on Downer Services’

review of publicly available information on Spotless, as at

the date of this Bidder’s Statement, Downer Services does

not consider Spotless to satisfy the ‘principal asset test’

(as described in section 5.3 above), and on that basis, does

not consider that withholding under these rules is required.

Accordingly, subject to there being no material change in

circumstances by the time a Spotless Shareholder disposes

of their Spotless Shares and no contrary conclusions reached

by Spotless in Spotless’ Target’s Statement, Downer Services

does not intend to withhold any consideration from a Spotless

Shareholder in accordance with these rules. Spotless

Shareholders should read the tax disclosures in the Target’s

Statement to ascertain Spotless’ views (if any) in this regard.

5.5 GST & stamp duty

No liability to GST should arise for Spotless Shareholders

in respect of a disposal of their Spotless Shares. Spotless

Shareholders may be charged GST on costs they incur which

relate to the disposal (eg legal, financial and tax adviser fees).

Certain Spotless Shareholders may be entitled to claim input

tax credits or reduced input tax credits in relation to the GST

amount incurred on these costs, but should seek independent

tax advice in relation to their individual circumstances.

Downer Services will pay any stamp duty payable on its

acquisition of Spotless Shares from Spotless Shareholders

pursuant to the Offer.

6.4 Inducing benefits given by Downer during

previous four months

Except as set out in this Bidder’s Statement, during the period

beginning four months before the date on which this Bidder’s

Statement is lodged with ASIC and ending the day before the

date of the Offer, neither Downer nor Downer Services, nor any

associate of Downer or Downer Services, gave, or offered to give

or agreed to give a benefit to another person that is not available

under the Offer and was likely to induce the other person, or an

associate of the other person, to:

(a) accept an Offer; or

(b) dispose of Spotless Shares.

6.5 Regulatory and other approvals

(a) ASX confirmations

Downer Services has received confirmation from ASX that

ASX Listing Rules 11.1.2 and 11.1.3 do not apply to the Offer.

(b) Regulatory Approval Condition

The Regulatory Approval Condition set out in section

7.11(b)(i) of the Bidder’s Statement requires any approvals

or consents that may be required from Public Authorities in

connection with the Offer to be given.

As noted elsewhere in the Bidder’s Statement, Downer

Services has not undertaken any due diligence on Spotless’

non-public confidential information. However, based on

publicly available information that Downer Services has

reviewed, Downer Services considers that the following

approvals, consents or exemptions from the requirement for

approvals or consents will or may be required from a Public

Authority in connection with the Offer:

(i) OIO

Downer Services understands that Spotless or entities

within Spotless’ corporate group may hold a leasehold

interest in New Zealand “sensitive land” that requires

consent to be given by the OIO under the Overseas

Investment Act 2005 (New Zealand) and the Overseas

Investment Regulations 2005 (New Zealand).

Downer Services has lodged an application with the OIO

for the relevant consent.

Spotless has provided Downer Services with information

setting out all freehold or leasehold interests that

Spotless or entities within Spotless’ corporate group have

in New Zealand. Downer Services is considering whether

any of these interests is “sensitive land” that requires

consent to be given by the OIO under the Overseas

Investment Act 2005 (New Zealand) and the Overseas

Investment Regulations 2005 (New Zealand). Following

its review of the information provided by Spotless,

Downer Services will, in accordance with its undertakings

to the OIO, notify the OIO of any additional interests in

“sensitive land” that Spotless or entities within Spotless’

corporate group have in New Zealand.

(ii) Australian liquor licence related approvals

Spotless disclosed in the Spotless Prospectus that it

is subject to governmental regulation at various levels

including, among other things, licensing requirements

in relation to the service of liquor.

Based on publicly available information that Downer

Services has reviewed, Spotless holds contracts to

provide catering and hospitality services to venues

located in Western Australia, Victoria, New South Wales,

South Australia and Queensland.

In certain Australian jurisdictions, the liquor licensing

legislation imposes an obligation on the licensee, that

6. Other Material Information

Bidder’s Statement 22
is Spotless or a member of Spotless’ corporate group,

to notify the relevant liquor licensing Public Authorities

where a person or corporate entity assumes a position

where it can exercise control or substantial influence

over the licensee, within 14 days of such party assuming

such a position.

In Western Australia and South Australia, it is an

offence for a person to assume a position of authority

in relation to a corporation holding a liquor licence

without the prior approval of the relevant liquor licensing

Public Authorities.

The Public Authority in Western Australia has confirmed

that the approval of Downer and Downer Services as

persons assuming a position of authority in respect

of Spotless or an entity within the Spotless corporate

group which holds a liquor licence in Western Australia

is not required.

Downer Services has made applications to the relevant

Public Authority in South Australia for the required

approval or waiver in respect of liquor licences held in

that state by Spotless or an entity within the Spotless

corporate group.

(c) ACCC and NZCC

From publicly available information on Spotless’ operations,

Downer Services believes that neither the ACCC nor

the NZCC will have concerns in relation to, or propose to

intervene in, the Offer. As a result, Downer Services has not

sought and does not propose to seek clearance from either

of the ACCC or the NZCC in relation to the Offer.

6.6 Modifications to and exemptions from the

Corporations Act

(a) ASIC relief from the Corporations Act was sought in respect

of the ability of Downer Services to extend the Offer to

Spotless Shares issued due to the vesting, conversion or

exercise of LTI Rights after the Register Date and before

the end of the Offer Period. ASIC has confirmed to Downer

Services that relief is not required and therefore Downer

Services has withdrawn this application.

(b) ASIC has granted Downer Services relief under section 655A

of the Corporations Act to vary the terms of the Offer, to:

(i) clarify that Downer Services will not deduct, from the

consideration offered under the Offer, any amounts

attributable to the value of franking credits attaching to

any dividend received by Spotless Shareholders; and

(ii) remove any term that is inconsistent with Spotless

Shareholders having the ability to withdraw their

acceptances until such time as the Offer has

become unconditional.


ASIC has also modified the operation of section 654A(2)

of the Corporations Act in relation to the Offer such that

Downer Services will not be taken to have disposed of

securities in breach of section 654A(1) of the Corporations

Act merely because Spotless Shareholders withdraw their

acceptance of the Offer.

(c) ASIC has also published various instruments providing

for modifications and exemptions that apply generally to

all persons, including Downer Services. Amongst others,

Downer Services has relied on the modification to section

636(3) of the Corporations Act set out in paragraph 5(d)

of ASIC Class Order 13/521 “Takeover Bids” to include

references to certain statements which are made or based

on statements made in documents lodged with ASIC or

the ASX. Pursuant to ASIC Class Order 13/521, the consent

of the relevant person is not required for the inclusion of

such statements in this Bidder’s Statement. As required

by Class Order 13/521, Downer Services will make available

a copy of these documents (or of relevant extracts from

these documents), free of charge, to you and other Spotless

Shareholders who request it during the Offer Period.

and 5.00pm (Sydney time).

6.7 No escalation agreements

Neither Downer nor Downer Services, nor any of their associates

have entered into an escalation agreement that is prohibited by

section 622 of the Corporations Act.

6.8 No collateral benefits

Neither Downer nor Downer Services, nor any of its associates

have in the four months before the date of this Bidder’s

Statement, or in the period between the date of this Bidder’s

Statement and the date of the Offer given, offered to give or

agreed to give a benefit which is not offered to all Spotless

Shareholders under the Offer to another person which was likely

to induce the other person (or an associate) to accept the Offer

or dispose of Spotless Shares.

6.9 Consents

This Bidder’s Statement includes or is accompanied by

maximum extent permitted by law, expressly disclaims and takes

no responsibility for any part of the Bidder’s Statement other

than as described.

6.10 Institutional Acceptance Facility

Downer Services recognises that some Spotless Shareholders

may be unable to accept the Offer, for example by reason

of their investment mandates, until the Offer becomes or is

declared unconditional. Accordingly, Downer Services may

consider establishing an institutional acceptance facility

(Facility) in relation to the Offer. The Facility would only be

open to professional investors under the Corporations Act

(Eligible Spotless Shareholders). The Facility would enable

Eligible Spotless Shareholders to indicate their intention to

accept the Offer.

If Downer Services decides to establish the Facility, it will inform

Spotless Shareholders once the Facility is established by way of

a supplementary Bidder’s Statement.

6.11 How to withdraw an acceptance

A Spotless Shareholder may withdraw an acceptance of the Offer

(Withdrawal) at any time before the Defeating Conditions have

been satisfied or waived by Downer Services. The recommended

methods of withdrawal are set out below.

(a) Withdrawal by written notice to Downer Services

This method of Withdrawal is available for shares in a

CHESS Holding or shares in an Issuer Sponsored Holding.

Downer Services should receive from the Spotless

Shareholder a notice in writing before the Defeating

Conditions have been satisfied or waived that sets out

the following information and states that the Spotless

Shareholder wants to initiate a Withdrawal. The notice in

writing should be signed by the Spotless Shareholder.

The information that should be provided in the

written notice is:

– the registered name of the Spotless Shareholder;

–Spotless Shareholder’s SRN or HIN (as applicable); and

–the number of Spotless Shares that are the subject of

the Withdrawal.

In the event that the number of Spotless Shares the subject

of the Withdrawal are not set out in the written notice, then

the Withdrawal will be deemed to be in respect of all the

Spotless Shares that have been the subject of an acceptance

by the person giving the written notice of Withdrawal.

Subject to the above, if the information is not provided then

the Withdrawal may be invalid.

If the written notice of Withdrawal is not received by Downer

or waived, the Withdrawal may not be valid.

Downer Services recommends that you send the

written notice of Withdrawal to Downer Services at the

following address:

Downer EDI Services Pty Ltd

(b) Withdrawal of Spotless Shares in a CHESS Holding by

instructions to Controlling Participant

If your Spotless Shares are in a CHESS Holding there is

another way that you can initiate a Withdrawal as set out

below. It is optional whether you initiate the Withdrawal by

the method described below or by written notice to Downer

Services in the manner set out above in section 6.11(a).

There are two requirements to be satisfied for a Withdrawal

initiated in this manner and both must be satisfied before

the Defeating Conditions have been satisfied or waived by

Downer Services. The requirements are as follows:

(i) you must instruct your broker (the Controlling

Participant) to Transmit a Valid Originating Message to

ASX Settlement in respect of the Spotless Shares in that

CHESS Holding in accordance with Rule 14.16.1 of the

ASX Settlement Operating Rules, specifying the number

of Spotless Shares that are the subject of the Withdrawal

and are to be released from the Subposition; and

6. Other Material Information (continued)

Bidder’s Statement 24
(ii) your Controlling Participant must Transmit a Valid

Originating Message to ASX Settlement in respect of the

relevant Spotless Shares before the Defeating Conditions

are satisfied or waived by Downer Services.

You should allow sufficient time for your Controlling Participant

to satisfy the above requirements for Withdrawal. Neither

Downer Services nor Computershare Investor Services Pty

Limited will be responsible for any delays in your Controlling

Participant transmitting a Valid Originating Message.

If the above requirements for Withdrawal are satisfied before the

Defeating Conditions are satisfied or waived by Downer Services,

Downer Services will:

– return to the Spotless Shareholder any documents that were

sent by the Spotless Shareholder to Downer Services with

the acceptance of the Offer; and

– if you initiate a valid Withdrawal under section 6.11(a) (that

is by notice in writing to Downer Services) and the shares

are in a CHESS Holding, Transmit to ASX Settlement a Valid

Originating Message that authorises the release of those

shares from the Offer Accepted Subposition in which the

CHESS Holding has been reserved in accordance with

Rule 14.16.3 or 14.16.5 of the ASX Settlement Operating

Rules as applicable.

No acknowledgement of valid receipt of Withdrawal will be given

to you by or on behalf of Downer Services.
