Satisfaction of Key Offer Condition
RESTAURANT BRANDS NEW ZEALAND LIMITED
NZX/ASX release
6 March 2019
Restaurant Brands updates market on satisfaction of key offer condition
On 10 December 2018, Finaccess Capital, S.A. de C.V. (“Finaccess Capital”), through its
subsidiary Global Valar S.L., made a partial takeover offer for up to 75% of Restaurant Brands
New Zealand Limited (NZX/ASX: RBD, “Restaurant Brands”) shares at NZ$9.45 cash per
share (the “Partial Takeover”). On 1 March 2019, Restaurant Brands announced that
Finaccess Capital has received consent by the New Zealand Overseas Investment Office in
respect of the Partial Takeover.
Consent has now been granted in respect of the Partial Takeover by certain subsidiaries of
Yum! Brands, Inc., the owner of the KFC, Pizza Hut and Taco Bell brands franchised to
Restaurant Brands. The key remaining condition
1
of the Partial Takeover is the receipt of
acceptances which would result in Global Valar S.L. acquiring 75% of the Restaurant Brands
shares on issue.
2
The Board of Restaurant Brands continues to unanimously recommend to Restaurant
Brands’ shareholders that they accept the Partial Takeover for all of their shares, in the
absence of an unmatched superior proposal. Given the significant time that has elapsed since
the offer was announced, the Board does not consider that a competing proposal is likely to
emerge prior to the closing date of the offer.
The offer closes on 12 March 2019. If shareholders intend to accept the offer they must do by
this date. For more information regarding the offer, and how to accept it, please visit
www.rbdtakeover.co.nz
.
Shareholders should read Restaurant Brands’ target company statement in full before making
a decision on whether to accept the offer.
3
Shareholders who have any questions are
encouraged to seek their own professional advice.
Ends
1
The offer will still be subject to the conditions in clause 5.4 of Finaccess Capital’s offer document (e.g. conditions dealing with
material adverse change and business conduct conditions). See pages 19 and 20 of Finaccess Capital’s offer document for
more information.
2
This condition may be waived by Global Valar, in which case the Partial Takeover would become conditional on Global Valar
receiving acceptances for more than 50% of the shares in Restaurant Brands.
