Scheme Consideration

UXC has applied to the Supreme Court of Victoria for approval of the Scheme at a hearing scheduled for Thursday, 11 February 2016.

The UXC Board has determined that UXC shareholders who hold shares on the Interim Dividend Record Date for determining entitlements to receive the Interim Dividend (Friday, 12 February 2016) will be paid a fully franked interim dividend of A$0.02 cash per share.




The UXC Board has also exercised its discretion under the UXC Dividend Reinvestment Plan Rules to suspend the UXC Dividend Reinvestment Plan such that it will not apply to the interim dividend determined above. All eligible UXC shareholders will therefore receive cash in respect of the interim dividend.

If the Scheme is approved by the Court, UXC shareholders who hold shares on the Scheme Record Date for determining entitlements to receive the Scheme Consideration (Friday, 19 February 2016) will be paid A$1.22 cash per share.

Those UXC shareholders will be sent the Interim Dividend on the Interim Dividend Payment Date (Thursday, 18 February 2016) and the Scheme Consideration on the Implementation Date (Friday, 26 February 2016).
