Biffa Waste Services Limited completed the acquisition of Municipal business of Renewi. Biffa Waste Services Limited entered into a binding agreement to acquire Municipal business of Renewi on May 30, 2024. The deal comprises five long-term residual waste treatment contracts serving local government customers in England and Scotland. In 2022, under the contracts, 930,000 tonnes of UK household waste were treated to avoid landfill and recover energy and raw materials. With Renewi's decision to focus on its core operations in industrial and commercial recycling in mainland Europe, around 550 Renewi staff will now become part of the Biffa group. The five contracts are with the Barnsley, Doncaster and Rotherham (BDR) Waste Partnership, Cumbria County Council, Wakefield Council, East London Waste Authority and Argyle & Bute Council. The transaction will be effectuated through a combination of a nominal cash consideration payable to Biffa and pre-completion capitalisation of UK Municipal. Capitalisation is expected to be approximately £125 million on completion which, when offset against the reduction of liabilities of £76.095 million, equates to a net cost of £48.735 million to Renewi and a total cash impact of £131.67 million, including transaction costs. Core net debt / EBITDA immediately following the transaction is expected to be approximately 2.9x, falling to our target of 2.0x in the medium-term, with improved margins and cash generation driving accelerated deleveraging. The transaction will be funded through the existing revolving credit facility, supplemented by a £102.6 million bridge facility. The Divestment provides UK Municipal customers, employees and other stakeholders with strong strategic backing from a respected scale operator in the UK market. The transaction is expected to complete before 31 December 2024, subject to receipt of a limited suite of regulatory and other consents. As of August 8, 2024, the Competition & Markets Authority approval had been given for the sale to Biffa. Greenhill & Co. International LLP acted as financial advisor to Renewi Plc

Macquarie Asset Management Considers A Possible Cash Offer for the Entire Issued and to Be Issued Share Capital of Renewi Macquarie Asset Management Inc. on behalf of one or more of its managed funds - (Macquarie) announced that it is considering a possible cash offer for the entire issued and to be issued share capital of Renewi plc (LSE:RWI) (the Company or Renewi). Macquarie has been evaluating a possible offer for Renewi and on 25 September 2023 made a proposal (the "Proposal") to the Board of Renewi (the "Board") at 775 pence per Renewi share. The Proposal was rejected by the Board. The Proposal provides a compelling opportunity for Renewi's shareholders to realise their investment for cash at a very significant premium and at an attractive multiple. Macquarie believes that Renewi's ability to deliver its stated ambition will remain constrained under the current capital structure by the limited near-term operating cash flow and limited leverage capacity. In a challenging macro and cost of capital environment, Macquarie believes the Proposal represents an attractive alternative for shareholders, attributing a full and fair valuation for the Company's future potential. The Proposal represents: a premium of approximately 52% to the closing price of 509 pence per Renewi share on 27 September 2023 (being the last business day before the date of this announcement); a premium of approximately 53% to the volume-weighted average price of 507 pence per Renewi share for the one-month period ended 27 September 2023 (being the last business day before the date of this announcement); and a premium of approximately 54% to the volume-weighted average price of 503 pence per Renewi share for the three-month period ended 27 September 2023 (being the last business day before the date of this announcement). Macquarie invites the Board to engage constructively to agree the terms of a recommended transaction to be put forward to Renewi's shareholders. Macquarie reserves the right to vary the form and /or mix of the offer consideration and /or introduce other forms of consideration. Macquarie also reserves the right to make an offer on less favourable terms than the Proposal:. with the consent of the Board; ii. if a third party announces a possible offer or firm intention to make an offer for Renewi at a lower price; or iii. if Renewi announces a Rule 9 waiver pursuant to the Code or a reverse takeover.
