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. Aankondiging • 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. Aankondiging • 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.
