这不是分红，是Westpac要raide capital，每23股才可以认购一股，discount rate13%
14 October 2015
Westpac announces a $3.5 billion Share Entitlement Offer and
Preliminary Full Year 2015 Result
Westpac Banking Corporation (“Westpac”) today announced it was undertaking a fully underwritten,
pro rata accelerated renounceable entitlement offer (“Entitlement Offer”) to raise approximately $3.5
billion of ordinary equity. The price of the offer has been set at $25.50 which is a discount of 13.1% on
the dividend adjusted Theoretical Ex-Rights Price (“TERP”)
1,2
. Compared to the 13 October 2015
dividend adjusted closing price of $29.50, the discount is 13.6%2
.
Westpac’s shares have been placed in a trading halt to enable the institutional component of the
Entitlement Offer to be completed, with trading expected to recommence on 19 October 2015.
The equity raised will add approximately 100 basis points to Westpac’s Common equity tier 1 (“CET1”)
capital ratio and places Westpac’s CET1 capital ratio within the top quartile of banks globally, with a
CET1 capital ratio of over 14% on an internationally comparable basis3
.
Capital raised responds to changes in mortgage risk weights that will increase the amount of capital
required to be held against mortgages by more than 50%, with the increased regulatory requirement to
be applied from 1 July 2016. As a result, Westpac has also announced an increase in its variable
home loan (owner occupied) and residential investment property loan rates by 20 basis points. The
new rates take effect from 20 November 2015.
Preliminary Full Year 2015 Result Highlights4
To support the offer, Westpac also announced its unaudited preliminary Full Year 2015 Result.
Highlights of the unaudited preliminary result for Full Year 2015 compared to Full Year 2014 include:
Statutory net profit of $8,012 million, up 6%
Cash earnings5
of $7,820 million, up 3%
Cash earnings per share of 249.5 cents, up 2%
Cash return on equity of 15.8%, down 57 basis points
Westpac also expects to determine a 2015 final, fully franked dividend of 94 cents per share, up 2
cents on the 2014 Final Dividend. New shares issued under the Entitlement Offer are not entitled to
the 2015 Final Dividend. The Dividend Reinvestment Plan (“DRP”) will continue to operate for the
2015 Final Dividend, with shares issued at no discount. The DRP will not be underwritten.
Westpac Chief Executive Officer, Brian Hartzer, said the result was driven by a solid operating
performance, supported by strong gains in customer numbers. |
