SALE OF OTRACO

Downer EDI Limited (Downer) announced today it had entered into an agreement to sell its tyre

management business (Otraco) to Bridgestone Corporation (Bridgestone). Bridgestone, which was

established in 1931 and is listed on the Tokyo Stock Exchange, is a global company with

operations in more than 150 countries providing world-class tyres and sustainable mobility

solutions.


The sale price represents an enterprise value of $79 million.


The Chief Executive Officer of Downer, Grant Fenn, said the sale of Otraco was another important

step in Downer’s divestment of its portfolio of Mining businesses as part of its Urban Services

strategy.


“The sale of Otraco follows Downer’s exit from its Underground mining, Open Cut Mining West,

Downer Blasting Services and Snowden consulting businesses and also our share in the RTL

Mining and Earthworks joint venture,” Mr Fenn said. “We remain in active discussions with a

number of interested parties in relation to the Open Cut Mining East business.”


Completion of the Otraco transaction, which is subject to regulatory approvals and other customary

conditions, is expected to occur before the end of 2021.


Downer’s sale of Mining and Laundries assets to date, including Otraco, will deliver total proceeds

of $605 million, of which $476 million has been received.



Authorised for release by Downer’s Chief Executive Officer, Grant Fenn.
