On Wednesday, May 8, 2019, the Company informed stakeholders that it will be removed from ASX Limited`s official list effective at the close of trading on Thursday, May 9, 2019, pursuant to Listing Rule 17.11. This follows MYOB Group`s announcement on March 20, 2019 regarding the agreement between MYOB and its shareholders that a subsidiary of Kohlberg Kravis Kravis Roberts – Co L.P., ETA Australia Holdings III Pty Ltd (KKR) was implemented today. MYOB signed the program implementation agreement with ETA Australia Holdings III Pty Ltd, as announced on December 24, 2018, after US private equity giant KKR submitted the offer in October 2018. Subsequently, on April 17, 2019, it was announced that the plan had been approved with the necessary majorities of MYOB shareholders, of which approximately 367,976,439 voted in favour of it. In October 2018, KKR acquired a 19.90% interest in MYOB and submitted an indicative indicative proposal to myOB`s Board of Directors for the acquisition of the remaining shares in MYOB. As a result of due diligence, KKR and MYOB entered into an agreement on the implementation of schemes, in which KKR agreed to acquire all remaining shares of MYOB for AUD 3.40 per share per agreement. The Scheme Implementation Agreement contained a number of innovative features that, until now, were not visible in procurement transactions in Australia. On December 23, 2018, MYOB entered into a schematic implementation agreement with KKR, in which KKR offered to acquire all myob shares it had not yet held. MYOB shareholders voted in favour of the program on April 17, 2019 and its implementation came into effect today. MYOB Group Ltd is a leading provider of online business management solutions.
