NZX/ASX release 6 March 2019 Restaurant Brands updates market on satisfaction of key offer condition On 10 December 2018, Finaccess Capital, S.A. de C.V. ("Finaccess Capital"), through its subsidiary Global Valar S.L., made a partial takeover offer for up to 75% of Restaurant Brands New Zealand Limited (NZX/ASX: RBD, "Restaurant Brands") shares at NZ$9.45 cash per share (the "Partial Takeover"). On 1 March 2019, Restaurant Brands announced that Finaccess Capital has received consent by the New Zealand Overseas Investment Office in respect of the Partial Takeover. Consent has now been granted in respect of the Partial Takeover by certain subsidiaries of Yum! Brands, Inc., the owner of the KFC, Pizza Hut and Taco Bell brands franchised to Restaurant Brands. The key remaining condition* of the Partial Takeover is the receipt of acceptances which would result in Global Valar S.L. acquiring 75% of the Restaurant Brands shares on issue.** The Board of Restaurant Brands continues to unanimously recommend to Restaurant Brands' shareholders that they accept the Partial Takeover for all of their shares, in the absence of an unmatched superior proposal. Given the significant time that has elapsed since the offer was announced, the Board does not consider that a competing proposal is likely to emerge prior to the closing date of the offer. The offer closes on 12 March 2019. If shareholders intend to accept the offer they must do by this date. For more information regarding the offer, and how to accept it, please visit www.rbdtakeover.co.nz. Shareholders should read Restaurant Brands' target company statement in full before making a decision on whether to accept the offer.*** Shareholders who have any questions are encouraged to seek their own professional advice.
