On 15 August 2018, Ausdrill announced the proposal to acquire unlisted underground hard rock contractor Barminco for $271.5 million. The consideration for the transaction is largely equity based, with approximately 150.7 million new Ausdrill shares being issued to Barminco vendors in addition to up to $25.4 million in cash. Â The deal is supported by fund raising of $250 million through institutional entitlement offer.
Demonstrating strong support to the procurement decision, the Board of Directors of the company have unanimously recommended shareholders to vote in favor of Barminco acquisition deal.
Furthermore, the independent expert report concluded that in the absence of a superior option, the Barminco transaction and the acquisition of Barminco sale interests from the Sayers Family Trust are fair and reasonable to Ausdrillâs shareholders.
