Dear Mr Dinh,


Re: Westpac Self-Funding Instalments over securities in Healthscope Limited

(“Healthscope” or “HSO”)


Accelerated Completion Date for HSOSWR (“SFIs”)


Westpac Banking Corporation (“Westpac”) is the issuer of the following Westpac Self-Funding

Instalments (“SFIs”) over securities in HSO:


HSOSWR


On 1 February 2019, Healthscope announced that it had entered into an implementation deed with an

entity controlled by Brookfield Business Partners, and its institutional partners (together, "Brookfield"),

under which Brookfield has undertaken to acquire 100% of Healthscope by way of scheme of

arrangement ( “Scheme”) representing total value of $2.50 per share (inclusive of the fully franked interim

dividend of $0.035 per share), and a simultaneous off-market takeover offer ("Takeover Offer")

representing total value of $2.40 per share (inclusive of the fully franked interim dividend of $0.035 per

share) (together, the "Brookfield Transaction").


The Scheme can only be implemented if approved by the requisite majority of Healthscope shareholders

at the Scheme meeting, which is scheduled for 10.00am on Wednesday, 22 May 2019. This requires

more than 50% of shareholders present and voting and at least 75% of votes cast at the meeting to be in

favour of the Scheme. The Scheme also requires court approval.


In the event that the Scheme proceeds, subject to the satisfaction or waiver (as applicable) of the

conditions precedent to the Scheme, the Scheme is expected to become effective on Friday, 24 May

2019. Healthscope shares are expected to be suspended from trading on ASX from close of trading on

24 May 2019 and the Scheme is expected to be implemented on Thursday, 6 June 2019. If the Scheme

is implemented, the Takeover Offer will not proceed.


Under the terms of the Scheme, Healthscope shareholders will be entitled to receive $2.465 cash for

each Healthscope share they own. This consideration is in addition to the fully franked interim dividend of

$0.035 per share paid on 26 March 2019. The consideration under the Scheme together with the interim

dividend is $2.50 per share.


If the Scheme is not approved by Healthscope shareholders or by the court, the second component of

Brookfield’s proposal will come into play, namely a Takeover Offer which is conditional on (amongst other

things) acceptances representing at least 50.1% of issued shares.






Under the Takeover Offer, accepting Healthscope shareholders will receive $2.365 cash per share if the

offer conditions are satisfied or waived. This consideration is in addition to the fully franked interim

dividend of $0.035 per share paid on 26 March 2019. The consideration under the Takeover Offer

together with the interim dividend is $2.40 per share.


Pursuant to clause 12.1 of the applicable Terms of Issue for the SFIs, Westpac has fixed an Accelerated

Completion Date of 6 June 2019 for HSOSWR.
