• It is on substantially same terms as sunsetting instruments, with certain exceptions.
• Exceptions include extending scope of s 617(2) to derivatives to address an ambiguity where certain performance rights may not meet the definition of securities under s 92(3) and therefore fall outside the scope of s 617(2) (ASIC instrument 2023/683).
• Another exception to provide that bidder may nominate shorter period for payment of bid consideration than is otherwise required by s 620(2) (ASIC instrument 2023/683).
• In addition, an exception to provide that securities acquired on-market by the bidder in reliance on the exemption provided in item 2 of s 611 are included for the purposes of the 75% calculation set out within s 661A(1)(b)(ii) (ASIC instrument 2023/684).
• Remove the requirement to lodge a supplementary bidder’s statement in order to lodge and dispatch a replacement bidder’s statement (ASIC instrument 2023/688).
