Agreement to acquire 13.7 per cent of Quadrant Energy 24 June 2015 Wesfarmers Limited ( Wesfarmers ) has entered into an agreement to acquire a 13.7 per cent interest in Quadrant Energy Holdings Pty Ltd ( Quadrant Energy ). Brookfield Asset Management Inc and Macquarie Capital (a division of Macquarie Group Limited) announced on 9 April 2015 an agreement to acquire Apache Corporation’s ( Apache ) domestic oil and gas assets in Western Australia for US$2.1 billion, with each holding an initial 50 per cent interest in Quadrant Energy. This transaction completed on 5 June 2015. Wesfarmers will invest US$100 million to acquire a 27.4 per cent interest in the special purpose vehicle in which Macquarie Capital holds its interest, representing a 13.7 per cent interest in Quadrant Energy. As part of this investment, Wesfarmers will have a right to appoint a director to the Board of Quadrant Energy. Wesfarmers Managing Director Richard Goyder said the investment in Quadrant Energy is complementary to Wesfarmers’ Chemicals, Energy and Fertilisers division’s existing businesses and is expected to generate a satisfactory return to shareholders.

Attention ASX Company Announcements Platform. Lodgement of Open Briefing. Wesfarmers Limited Wesfarmers House 40 The Esplanade Perth Western Australia 6000 Date of Lodgement: 17-Nov-2004 Title: Open Briefing. Wesfarmers. Briefing Day Discussion The content of this Open Briefing reflects management and analyst discussion at the Wesfarmers Briefing Day held in Sydney on Thursday November 11, 2004. General Corporate Issues corporatefile.com.au Wesfarmers seems to be a little more conservative than other companies on the macro outlook for some of its industries. BHP, for example, seems a lot more bullish. Is there a risk Wesfarmers misses out on some good projects if you are too conservative? Michael Chaney, CEO Wesfarmers We often think about this issue and we’re continually reviewing our assumptions but I’m confident that we haven’t been too conservative. I believe that our assumptions are broadly similar to companies such as BHP for example. Projects or companies are often valued differently by different parties because of strategic considerations rather than different pricing assumptions. Although we have missed opportunities over the years, we’ve still recorded the highest TSR on the ASX over 20 years. Investors should be confident with our management team because we have entrenched and strict valuation disciplines and methodologies. We’ll miss out on more opportunities but enough opportunities should come up to maintain our shareholder returns. corporatefile.com.au Coal prices will fall at some stage. Will that influence you to take a more conservative stance on dividends in the next couple of years in order to avoid the possibility of having to cut dividends after coking prices fall? 1 Michael Chaney I don’t think so because that would be inconsistent with our dividend policy which is to always pay out 100% of our franking credits.

Amazon Coming to a Car Yard Near You: Cole
Amazon coming to a car yard near you: Cole Digital ‘story teller’ Jeff Cole, right, with David Evans. ‘Eventually (Jeff Bezos) will sell every new automobile in North America’ October 7, 2018 By DAMON KITNEY, STUART McEVOY Amazon could be set to transform another industry He calls himself a “story teller” of the digital world. His clients think he can see into the future. Jeffrey Cole has spent more than three decades advising governments and many of the world’s largest and most successful companies on their digital strategies. In Australia those companies have included Telstra, Wesfarmers, Westpac and the other big banks. Amazon coming to a car yard near you: Cole !2 These days he is a member of the investment committee of the listed Evans & Partners Global Disruption Fund, which now has over $400 million under management and ambitions to grow that to $1 billion in the short to medium term. The fund has just completed an $8m capital raising to provide liquidity for new unit holders. Ask Cole the next industry in the world to be “Amazoned” — that is, disrupted and transformed by Jeff Bezos’s global tech colossus — and his answer is instant. “I think eventually he will sell every new automobile in North America. A lot of manufacturers feel they are saddled to their dealers. A lot of them now want to get rid of the dealer relationship. Tesla, for instance, does not have dealerships. I think you will see Amazon go to manufacturers and say ‘Get out of the dealership business’, and turn the dealerships into service centres,’’ the fast-talking American tells The Australian during a visit to Australia from his US base.

13 August 2007
3 July 2008 CHAIRMAN TO STEP DOWN AT ANNUAL GENERAL MEETING Mr Trevor Eastwood AM today announced he would be stepping down as Chairman of Wesfarmers Limited at the company’s Annual General Meeting in November 2008. To ensure a smooth transition to a new Chairman, the Wesfarmers Board has appointed Dr Bob Every as its Deputy Chairman. Dr Every joined the Wesfarmers Board in February 2006 and will take up the position of Chairman after the Annual General Meeting on 13 November. Dr Every was formerly Chief Executive and Managing Director of OneSteel, President of BHP Steel, Managing Director of Tubemakers of Australia Limited and a former Chairman of Steel & Tube Holdings Limited in New Zealand. He is currently Chairman of Iluka Resources, on the Board of Boral Limited and a Director of Malcolm Sargent Cancer Fund for Children in Australia Limited, also known as Redkite. Mr Eastwood, who has been Chairman of Wesfarmers since 2002, said it was an appropriate time for him to retire after six years in the role, as the company proceeds through a significant new era of opportunity and change. “I have been extremely fortunate to have been Chairman during a time of tremendous growth and transition for the company,” Mr Eastwood said. “Transformation of the group into a truly national enterprise has accelerated, particularly over the past year with the acquisition of the Coles Group. “As Chairman, Board Member and a former Managing Director I’m proud to have been involved in these and other major changes that have seen the former co-operative become Australia’s biggest private sector employer, with 200,000 employees, and more than 470,000 shareholders.
