9 November 2018 NZX/ASX Restaurant Brands updates market on partial takeover proposal On 18 October 2018, the Board of Restaurant Brands New Zealand Limited (NZX/ASX: RBD, "Restaurant Brands") announced it had received a non-binding indicative proposal from Finaccess Capital, S.A. de C.V. ("Finaccess") to acquire up to 75% of Restaurant Brands' shares by way of a partial takeover offer at $NZ 9.45 cash per share ("Proposal"). The Board has been actively engaging with both Finaccess and Yum! Brands Inc. ("Yum!") Restaurant Brands' principal franchisor, on the terms of the Proposal as well as evaluating its relative merits. These discussions are still continuing and a final outcome is expected to be announced prior to the end of November. At this stage there is still no guarantee that agreement will be reached or that Finaccess will advance the Proposal to the point where a takeover notice is issued. The Board of Restaurant Brands continues to recommend that shareholders do not take any action in respect of the Proposal unless and until Finaccess proceeds with a formal takeover offer and shareholders receive Restaurant Brands' Target Company Statement in response to that takeover offer (including the independent adviser's report required under the Takeovers Code).
