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.

This requires those offering financial products to have disclosed information that is important for investors to make an informed decision. The usual rules do not apply to this offer because there is an exclusion for offers where the amount invested upfront by the investor (plus any other investments the investor has already made in the financial products) is $750,000 or more. As a result of this exclusion, you may not receive a complete and balanced set of information. You will also have fewer other legal protections for this investment.
