Summary
On July 3, 2026, Atlas Arteria issued the Seventh Supplementary Target's Statement in response to an unsolicited off-market cash takeover bid by Diamond Infraco 1 Pty Ltd, a subsidiary of IFM Global Infrastructure Fund. The statement is a continuation of the initial Target's Statement dated May 26, 2026, and six subsequent supplementary statements. The Independent Directors of Atlas Arteria continue to recommend that securityholders reject the offer. The statement provides further information and reasons for rejecting the bid, citing it as not in the best interest of the shareholders. It also responds to the eleventh supplementary bidder's statement from IFM, emphasizing the board's decision to proceed with contractual arrangements with OTPP and to reject the proposed renegotiation terms put forward by IFM which would involve dilutive equity raising. The document reiterates the importance for securityholders to seek independent advice and consider the risks associated with a majority ownership by the bidder.
