  • ASX & Media Release
    ASX & Media Release 13 April 2021 UPDATE REGARDING ACQUISITION OF SUEZ’S AUSTRALIAN RECYCLING AND RECOVERY BUSINESS Cleanaway Waste Management Limited (“Cleanaway”, ASX: CWY) refers to its previous announcement of 6 April 2021 regarding its entry into agreements to acquire Suez Group S.A.S. (“Suez”, EPA: SEV)’s Australian recycling and recovery business (the “Suez R&R Acquisition”). In that announcement, it was noted that the proposed acquisition could be terminated in certain circumstances, including where there is an agreement in‐principle for a takeover of Suez. In such a case, subject to various conditions, Cleanaway will acquire a portfolio of strategic post collection assets in Sydney. The assets comprise two landfills and five transfer stations (“Sydney Assets”) (“Sydney Assets Acquisition”) and will be acquired for $501 million1 . Cleanaway has been informed by Suez that it has reached an in‐principle agreement with Veolia Environnement S.A. (“Veolia”, EPA: VIE) for a takeover of Suez S.A. by Veolia. Suez and Veolia announced the in‐principle agreement, which remains subject to documentation and other formalities, on 12 April 2021. Cleanaway expects that the Suez R&R Acquisition will be terminated on, or prior to 6 May 2021, and that the Sydney Assets Acquisition will proceed. Suez has announced that the in‐principle agreement provides for the suspension of ongoing legal proceedings, and that all legal proceedings will be withdrawn upon entry into the definitive agreements between Suez and Veolia. The key highlights of the Sydney Assets Acquisition are set out below: • The Sydney Assets Acquisition comprises Suez’s putrescible and inert landfills and 5 transfer stations located across the greater Sydney basin • The Sydney Assets Acquisition is subject to various conditions including ACCC approval, no material adverse change, transfer of certain contracts and a change of control of Suez S.A.
