The deal is expected to generate substantial EPS accretion at the expense of Tatts’ shareholders

Rationale for offer rejection
Tabcorp’s offer should be rejected as it is significantly below Tatts’ implied value

Offer structure Insufficient premium


 Current arrangement: Each Tatts share receives 0.80 Tabcorp  The scheme implied value of A$4.07 per share is not attractive if
shares (worth A$3.97) and A$0.10 cash per share the 3-6m VWAP is considered

 The scrip consideration exposes Tatts shareholders to greater


risk from the wagering industry and is inherently prone to value 5.71%

 Increase cash consideration to mitigate depreciating scrip risk Offer Closing 1 m VWAP 3m VWAP 6m VWAP

 Tabcorp shareholders are benefiting more from this transaction Directors’ interest and future of lotteries business

compensated for this asymmetric benefit  Tabcorp’s directors do not have the proper expertise and
experience to strategically manage the lotteries division without
the help of Tatts’ directors

Proposed course of action
Tatts should merge with Tabcorp. If this fails, divestment of the Wagering division should be considered

Merge with Tabcorp Divest the Wagering division

 Tatts shareholders can get exposure to the Tatts shareholders lose all exposure to the
upside of the merged entity via scrip Wagering business

 Consolidation of UBET with Tabcorp’s UBET may be unable to withstand increasing

worsification”  Tatts shareholders keep control of the
lucrative Lotteries division
 Tatts’ shareholders own >50% of the merged
entity  Tatts’ Board of Directors keep their position

 Tatts’ Board of Directors can have a position  Divestment gives Tatts’ shareholders a
in the new merged entity substantial cash dividend of A$0.75-1.02 per
share
 Can demand a higher premium through

Option 1: Enter into scheme of arrangement with Tabcorp at a higher premium
Tatts should first seek a 20% premium from Tabcorp. If this fails, Tatts can induce an auctioning process
