Details of transactions and events giving rise to relevant event


On 9 February 2026, Bourns made a full cash takeover offer under the Takeovers Code to acquire

all of the equity securities in Rakon at a price of $1.55 per equity security (Offer). A copy of the

offer document dated 9 February 2026 was provided to NZX on that date.


Bourns declared the Offer unconditional and is now making payment to acceptors in accordance

with the terms of the Offer. As a result of payments made to Shareholders, Bourns is now the

holder of 223,849,255 RAK Shares. Bourns becomes the registered holder of RAK Shares for

which the Offer has been accepted once payment is made, and therefore the nature of its

relevant interest changes.


Bourns continues to have an unconditional obligation to acquire any further RAK Shares for

which acceptances of the Offer are received, in accordance with the terms of the Offer.


As at 12 May 2026, Bourns has a relevant interest in respect of, in aggregate, 224,188,399 RAK
