Wednesday 9th December 2020

Abano Healthcare Group Limited, advises that it has received final orders from the High Court approving the Scheme of Arrangement with Adams NZ Bidco Limited. Abano has also requested that NZX suspend trading in its shares ahead of the record date for the Scheme and de-list the company from the closing of trading on the implementation date.

Subject to remaining customary completion conditions being satisfied or waived, the Scheme timetable is:

Holders of Abano shares at 5.00 pm (NZ time) on the record date will be entitled to receive the Scheme consideration in cash, which will be paid on the implementation date (expected to occur on 22 December 2020). The Scheme consideration is NZ$5.20 per share, unless an Adjustment Event occurs prior to 8.00am on the implementation date (in which case the Scheme consideration will be reduced, as described in the Scheme Booklet). There has been no Adjustment Event to date.

Existing Abano shareholders who wish to participate in the Scheme do not need to take any further action. Abano shareholders who do not wish to participate in the Scheme must sell their shares before the close of trading on 14 December 2020.
