Wesfarmers Announces to Wind Up BPI No 1 Pty Ltd. Property Structure in September 2025 Wesfarmers announced that it will wind up the BPI No 1 Pty Ltd. property structure in September 2025. This will involve Wesfarmers taking full ownership of the fifteen Bunnings warehouse properties ("the properties") that are currently in the BPI structure. In August 2013, Wesfarmers established BPI as a wholly owned, special purpose vehicle to facilitate the sale and leaseback of the properties via a securitised lease transaction. The sale and leaseback was funded primarily from the issuance by BPI of twelve-year senior secured notes to investors. Subject to the independent valuation, Wesfarmers is expected to record a one-off pre-tax profit associated with the transaction of between $80 million and $130 million in the 2025 financial year. The one-off impact to Wesfarmers' earnings reflects the expected fair value uplift associated with the properties and the unwind of the property structure. Wesfarmers will undertake a strategic review of the properties, which will include exploring a range of capital management options once the BPI structure is unwound. Anuncio • Dec 21

Macquarie and Wesfarmers Reportedly Join the Race for $3 Billion I-MED Sale Wesfarmers Limited (ASX:WES) and Macquarie Group Limited (ASX:MQG) are the latest names to emerge as a keen competitors for the $3 billion diagnostic imaging business I-MED Holdings Pty Limited, which is about to hit the market. It comes after Wesfarmers is understood to have carried out detailed analysis of I-MED, as it focuses on the healthcare industry for acquisitions. No doubt acquisitions in healthcare will be discussed when Wesfarmers, which owns retail brands including Target, Kmart and Officeworks, reports its full year results on August 29. Meanwhile, Macquarie would look at I-MED through its infrastructure arm Macquarie Asset Management, and is believed to be keen to get a partner to assess the opportunity. DataRoom revealed that Morgan Stanley was about to be hired to sell I-MED, with Bain Capital and Morgan Stanley Infrastructure Partners interested suitors. Jefferies Australia is also now advising. A number of other global private equity firms are also lining up to take a look, say sources. Anuncio • Aug 12
Private Equity Reportedly Pursues Ramsay A European private equity firm is understood to be running the ruler over the $10 billion Ramsay Health Care Limited (ASX:RHC), with an eye to becoming the second group in two years to launch a buyout proposal for the nation's largest private hospital operator. Ramsay last week flagged that it would deliver weaker-than-expected earnings for the full year as it wrote down the value of its European operation. The hospital operator, which is scheduled to release its full-year results on August 30, told the ASX last Monday that its underlying net profit was expected to be in the range of $265 million to $270 million, compared with $278.2 million the previous year. Ramsay was considered a takeover target earlier this year, with the Perth-based conglomerate Wesfarmers known to be running the ruler over the business some time ago. It is understood that Wesfarmers Limited (ASX:WES), which recently appointed Ramsay's former chief operating officer Kate Munnings, to its board carried out extensive and detailed work on a potential buyout of Ramsay and an acquisition of the country's largest diagnostic imaging provider I-MED, which is expected to be put on the block next month for about $3 billion through Morgan Stanley and Jefferies. However, Wesfarmers thought Ramsay would have to be far cheaper before it would make its move - despite Ramsay's share price being at its lowest level in a decade, about a third cheaper than it was after Kohlberg Kravis Roberts bid for the business in 2022. Some think the European suitor may be CVC, while Partners Group, which is also based in Europe, has looked at Australian healthcare company Healius, and EQT could also be an acquirer. Other European funds that invest in healthcare include Permira, PAI and Intermediate Capital. Some think a company with real estate expertise would be the most likely to have interest because of Ramsay's lucrative portfolio of hospital assets in Australia. There's also a view that any deal involving Ramsay would unfold after it has demerged or sold its Ramsay Sante operation in Europe. Ramsay, whose David Thodey-led board recently appointed former Woolworths executive Natalie Davis as chief executive to replace Craig McNally, has been trying to find a solution for that part of the company, which has lagged in performance. Ramsay Health Care owns 52.79% of Ramsay Sante, the second-largest private care provider in Europe, and a sale would help to reduce its $4.7 billion of debt. Buyers are not interested in the whole business, but it could try to sell a stake. Anuncio • May 02
Wesfarmers Limited Announces Executive Changes Wesfarmers Limited announced that Ian Hansen, Managing Director of Wesfarmers Chemicals, Energy and Fertilisers (WesCEF) has advised of his intention to retire in November 2024. Mr. Hansen will remain with WesCEF and Wesfarmers in an advisory capacity to ensure a smooth transition and provide ongoing support on key projects, including the Group's lithium business, where he will remain Chairman of Covalent Lithium. Mr. Hansen will be succeeded by Aaron Hood, WesCEF's Chief Operating Officer. Prior to his current role Mr. Hood held other senior executive positions within the Group, including Chief Financial Officer of WesCEF and Executive General Manager of Business Development at Wesfarmers. He is also a director of the Covalent Lithium joint venture. Wesfarmers Managing Director Rob Scott said Mr. Hood's skills and experience made him a logical successor to Mr. Hansen. Mr. Hood has been appointed Deputy Managing Director of WesCEF effective 2 May 2024 and will also retain responsibilities as Chief Operating Officer until he commences as the Managing Director of WesCEF in November 2024.

Wesfarmers Reportedly Runs the Ruler over Ramsay Health Care The $74 billion Australian listed conglomerate Wesfarmers Limited (ASX:WES) is understood to have been carrying out detailed work in recent months, weighing up the merits of buying Ramsay Health Care Limited (ASX:RHC). It is understood that Wesfarmers - which owns Target, Kmart, Officeworks and other industrial and healthcare assets - is interested in securing Ramsay's Australian business. However, with its shares performing strongly and a $74 billion market value, it's not inconceivable that Wesfarmers buys all of the $12 billion private hospital operator and sells off the international assets to other parties. Some believe that the timing could now be right for Wesfarmers to embark on its next major acquisition, after bedding down the 2022 purchase of Priceline pharmacy chain owner Australian Pharmaceutical Industries for $763 million to seed its healthcare unit. Whether it remains serious about a deal remains unclear. Wesfarmers is usually assessing the acquisition of a handful of targets at any given time, and maintains an active mergers and acquisitions team. It has looked at plenty of opportunities in the past before opting to walk away, and can treat targets as simply a due diligence exercise. Another possibility is that it could simply be weighing up a tilt at Ramsay's pharmacy unit, which it has expressed interest in before. Still, Wesfarmers' share price has rallied since the start of this year so it could take advantage of that, while the healthcare sector has been struggling with high costs and staff shortages, dampening the performance of Australian listed stocks trading in the space, including Ramsay. Also weighing in Wesfarmers' favour is the fact that Ramsay's shareholders have been unhappy with the company's performance since Kohlberg Kravis Roberts walked away from a bid in 2022, causing its share price to tumble, and the could be more open to a buyout. The David Thodey-chaired Ramsay is believed to be thinking about a potential exit from its European hospital owner, Ramsay Sante, in which it has a 52.79% stake. DataRoom understands that Wesfarmers has carried out work on all aspects of the Ramsay business, including its real estate, and has been speaking to healthcare funds and industry figures.

TPG Capital Reportedly Tests Buyer Interest for the $3.5 Billion-Plus Greencross Speculation is mounting that TPG Capital, L.P. is testing buyer interest for the $3.5 billion-plus Petbarn owner Greencross Limited and some are pointing to Wesfarmers Limited (ASX:WES) as the potential suitor. Working on a potential sale of the business, which owns veterinary clinics and a trans-Tasman pet care retail business, is investment bank Jefferies LLC, and there is a view that the $60 billion listed Perth-based Wesfarmers is showing some interest. The question is whether TPG would sell the company as a whole or just the interest that it retained after offloading 45% to AustralianSuper and The Healthcare of Ontario Pension Plan. That deal last year valued the business at $3.5 billion, and since then, Greencross has purchased Habitat Pet Supplies, a Melbourne-based pet store chain with five stores that it plans to merge with its Petbarn and Animates retail business. The logic is all there for Wesfarmers to buy Greencross. The question is whether it would buy off TPG - expected to have overly enthusiastic expectations on price. Yet TPG has already pocketed $1.57 billion through its sell down so perhaps the price tag won't be that large after all. Wesfarmers, which did not comment on whether it was weighing an acquisition, would be familiar with the business given it looked at Greencross when Credit Suisse and Morgan Stanley ran a sale process in 2021.

Wesfarmers Reportedly Among Suitors for Alinta Assets Wesfarmers Limited (ASX:WES) is understood to be among the suitors looking to acquire Alinta Energy Pty Limited's West Australian assets. First-round bids for the assets are due on May 12 in the Goldman Sachs-run competition. Sources say the motivation of the $58 billion listed conglomerate is to gain additional sources of power, and it would be compelled by the renewable energy component of the offering. Several parties are believed to be lining up for Alinta's business, including Pacific Equity Partners, which owns Zenith Energy, and the business interests of Gina Rinehart, owner of Hancock Energy and Hancock Prospecting. DataRoom understands that working with Hancock on Alinta is Highbury Partnership, which advised on the $4 billion acquisition by Chow Tai Fook of Alinta Energy in 2017 from TPG Capital. Also in the competition are private equity firm EQT Partners AB and Macquarie Group Limited (ASX:MQG), which would partner with another suitor, likely to be BP, which is also looking. Macquarie already partners with BP on its Australian Renewable Energy Hub in the Pilbara. Queensland Investment Corporation is expected to be looking through its Pacific Energy business, while CKI is believed to be bidding through Energy Developments, although the Chinese-owned group may face opposition from the Foreign Investment Review Board. There is also a view that billionaire Andrew Forrest will be around the hoop - either through his Squadron Energy or through Fortescue Metals. Investment bank Citi is mandated by a party, and sources have been pointing to either QIC or Brookfield. Based on the level of interest, some think private equity firms, and possibly APA, will not be competitive on price, going up against parties with a cheaper cost of capital. Anuncio • Jan 18
