MCK - MARKET UPDATE ON RESPONSE TO CDLHHNZ TAKEOVER NOTICE

Thursday 23rd January 2025

Millennium & Copthorne Hotels New Zealand Limited (the Company or MCK) advises that, in response to the takeover notice received from CDL Hotels Holdings New Zealand Limited (CDLHH NZ) on 20 January 2025, MCK has appointed Cameron Partners Limited and Bell Gully to assist it in responding to the takeover notice from CDLH.

The Company has also appointed Northington Partners Limited to prepare an independent adviser report under the Takeovers Code, and the Takeovers Panel has approved that appointment.

MCK recommends that shareholders do not take any action in respect of their shares until they receive a target company statement, including any recommendation from independent directors of MCK, and the independent adviser’s report. Shareholders who are considering selling their shares before then are recommended to seek their own professional advice.

In addition, the takeover notice does not apply to the listed redeemable preference shares in MCK (MCKPA). Any holders of preference shares who are considering selling those shares to CDLHH NZ through any broker facility it offers are recommended to seek their own professional advice.
