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
