Announcement PDF 3 February 2025 Results of Scheme Meeting Auswide Bank Ltd (ASX: ABA) (Auswide) is pleased to provide this update in relation to the proposal for MyState Bank Limited (a wholly owned subsidiary of MyState Limited (ASX:MYS)) to acquire 100% of the fully paid ordinary shares in Auswide by way of a scheme of arrangement (Scheme) as described in the Scheme Booklet in relation to the Scheme released to the ASX on 23 October 2024 (Scheme Booklet). Results of the Scheme Meeting In accordance with ASX Listing Rule 3.13.2 and section 251AA(2) of the Corporations Act 2001 (Cth), Auswide advises that the resolution to approve the Scheme as set out in the Notice of Scheme Meeting in Annexure E of the Scheme Booklet (Scheme Resolution), was passed on a poll by the requisite majorities of Auswide shareholders at the Scheme Meeting held earlier today. In summary: • • 90.59% of Auswide shareholders present and voting at the Scheme Meeting (in person or online, or by proxy, attorney or corporate representative) were in favour of the Scheme Resolution; and 93.51% of the total number of votes cast by Auswide shareholders at the Scheme Meeting were in favour of the Scheme Resolution. Details of the valid proxies received and votes cast are set out in the attachment to this announcement. Next Steps Auswide will apply to the Supreme Court of New South Wales (Court) for approval of the Scheme at a hearing scheduled for 9.15am (AEDT) (8.15am Queensland time) on Friday, 7 February 2025 (Second Court Hearing). If the Court approves the Scheme at the Second Court Hearing, Auswide intends to lodge a copy of the Court orders with the Australian Securities and Investments Commission (ASIC) on the following business day (Monday, 10 February 2025), at which time the Scheme will become Effective. It is expected that Auswide shares will be suspended from trading on the ASX from closing of trading on Monday, 10 February 2025, and that the Scheme will be implemented on Wednesday, 19 February 2025. Auswide separately notes that the Chair’s Address released on the ASX earlier this morning refers to the Second Court Hearing as scheduled for Friday, 6 December 2024 (found on page 5 of the announcement, under ‘Status of Conditions Precent’). Auswide confirms this was a typographical error and the correct date is Friday, 7 February 2025.
