9 April 2024 – Ansell Limited (ASX:ANN, Ansell or the Company) has successfully completed a A$400 million (US$263¹ million equivalent) fully underwritten institutional placement (Placement) of approximately 17.8 million new fully paid ordinary shares (New Shares) to eligible institutional investors at a price of A$22.45 per New Share (Placement Price).

The proceeds of the Placement will be used to partially fund the acquisition of 100% of the assets that constitute Kimberly-Clark’s Personal Protective Equipment business (KCPPE) from Kimberly-Clark Corporation (K-C) for US$640² million (the Acquisition).

Ansell received strong interest in the Placement from existing and new institutional investors.

All eligible institutional shareholders who bid for an amount equal to, or less than, their pro rata share of New Shares under the Placement were allocated their full bid on a reasonable endeavours basis.³

The New Shares issued under the Placement will rank equally with existing Ansell shares from their date of issue. Ansell shares are expected to resume normal trading on the ASX from market open today (Tuesday, 9 April 2024).

Settlement of New Shares issued under the Placement is expected to occur on Thursday, 11 April 2024. New Shares are expected to be issued on Friday, 12 April 2024 and commence trading on ASX on a normal settlement basis on the same day.

Details of the Share Purchase Plan

Ansell will offer eligible Ansell shareholders, being shareholders who had a registered address in Australia or New Zealand on Ansell’s register at 7.00pm (Australian Eastern Daylight Time) on Friday, 5 April 2024, the opportunity to apply for up to A$30,000 of New Shares free of any brokerage, commission or transaction costs in accordance with a non-underwritten share purchase plan (SPP), targeting to raise up to A$65 million⁴. The SPP will be priced at the lower of the Placement Price and a 2.0 per cent discount to the five-day VWAP of Ansell shares up to, and including, the closing date of the SPP, which is currently scheduled for Monday, 6 May 2024.

Full details of the SPP will be set out in the SPP Offer Booklet, which will be released to the ASX and made available to eligible shareholders in Australia and New Zealand on, or around, Monday, 15 April 2024.

3. For this purpose, an eligible institutional shareholder’s ‘pro rata’ share of New Shares issued under the Placement was estimated by reference to Ansell’s latest available beneficial shareholder register prior to launch of the Placement, but without undertaking any reconciliation processes and ignoring New Shares that may be issued under the SPP. Unlike in a rights issue, this may not truly reflect the participating shareholder’s actual ‘pro rata’ share of New Shares issued under the Placement. Nothing in this announcement gives a shareholder a right or entitlement to participate in the Placement and Ansell has no obligation to reconcile assumed holdings (e.g. for a recent trading or swap position) when determining a shareholder’s ‘pro rata’ share of New Shares issued under the Placement. Institutional shareholders who do not reside in Australia or other eligible jurisdictions were not eligible to participate in the Placement – see ‘International Offer Restrictions’ in the investor presentation for the eligible jurisdictions and relevant selling restrictions. Ansell disclaims any duty or liability (including for negligence) in respect of the determination of a shareholder’s ‘pro rata’ share of New Shares issued under the Placement.
4. Ansell will have the ability to accept more or less than the target SPP size in its absolute discretion.</sup>
