Partial Takeover Proposal Received

18 October 2018 NZX/ASX Restaurant Brands announces receipt of proposal for acquisition of up to 75% of its shares at $NZ9.45 cash per share The Board of Restaurant Brands New Zealand Limited (NZX/ASX: RBD, "Restaurant Brands") announces that it has received a non-binding indicative approach from Finaccess Capital, S.A. de C.V. ("Finaccess") to acquire up to 75% of Restaurant Brands' shares by way of a partial takeover offer at NZ$9.45 cash per share ("Proposal"). The Proposal does not constitute a takeover notice pursuant to the Takeovers Code. Restaurant Brands and Finaccess are in discussions to seek to agree and finalise the terms of any takeover implementation arrangements which, if agreed, could result in Finaccess issuing a takeover notice to Restaurant Brands. There is no guarantee at this stage that agreement will be reached or that Finaccess will advance the Proposal to the point where a takeover notice is issued. Finaccess is an international company with a focus on high quality businesses with growth potential, including in the global consumer retail sector. Finaccess (along with its associated entities) has significant experience in owning and operating international branded quick service and casual dining restaurants, including holding a controlling interest in AmRest Holdings SE which operates KFC, Pizza Hut, Burger King and Starbucks branded outlets and several owned brands across Europe and China. If Finaccess does proceed to make a takeover, the offer would be subject to various conditions, including Overseas Investment Office consent and receiving consent from certain subsidiaries of Yum! Brands Inc., the owner of the KFC, Pizza Hut and Taco Bell brands franchised to Restaurant Brands. As the price offered in the Proposal is subject to adjustment for any dividend paid by Restaurant Brands, the Board of Restaurant Brands has resolved not to declare an interim dividend in respect of the FY19 financial year at this time. If the Proposal does not result in a takeover by Finaccess, the Board of Restaurant Brands will consider declaring a dividend at a later stage. The Board of Restaurant Brands recommends that shareholders do not take any action in respect of the Proposal unless and until Finaccess proceeds with a formal takeover offer and shareholders receive Restaurant Brands' Target Company Statement in response to that takeover offer (including the independent adviser's report required under the Takeovers Code). Shareholders who are considering selling or buying shares before then are recommended to seek their own professional advice. The Board of Restaurant Brands will seek to update shareholders over the coming weeks. Restaurant Brands is being advised by Macquarie Capital and Harmos Horton Lusk.
