EBOS announces that consistent with EBOS’ strategy of investing for growth, the Group has completed two acquisitions (together, the “Acquisitions”) since the commencement of the second half of FY25:
- EBOS acquired SVS Veterinary Supplies (“SVS”)(1), a leading supplier of pet medicines and other products to veterinary clinics and specialty retailers in New Zealand for upfront consideration of NZ$115 million and an earn-out of up to NZ$10 million. The upfront acquisition price represents approximately 7x EBITDA for the twelve months to 31 March 2025(2)
- As previously announced, EBOS has acquired the remaining 10% stake in Transmedic that it did not already own for consideration of approximately A$35 million

EBOS will raise approximately A$200 million (NZ$217 million) via an underwritten placement and will undertake a non-underwritten retail offer to raise up to A$50 million (NZ$54 million)(3)

Funds raised in excess of the amounts paid for the Acquisitions will provide further balance sheet capacity to fund additional future growth opportunities.
