DRA COMPLETES SALE OF APAC MAINTENANCE AND CONSTRUCTION BUSINESS

DRA Global Limited (ASX / JSE: DRA) (‘DRA’ or ‘the Company’) is pleased to announce the successful completion of the sale to 
KAEFER Integrated Services Pty Ltd (‘KAEFER’) of the business of G&S Engineering Services Pty Ltd and G&S Support Services 
Pty Ltd (collectively ‘G&S’), comprising selected key contracts, assets and liabilities (1).

This transaction was completed on 10 September 2022 (‘Completion Date’) with all conditions precedent met, along with agreement 
and execution of a transitional services agreement (‘TSA’) between G&S and KAEFER.

Net proceeds, after adjustments, from the sale were approximately A$3.4 million, and based on final asset and liability carrying 
values disposed, a pre-tax loss of approximately A$4.1 million (2) will be included in statutory EBIT for the financial year ending 
31 December 2022. The pre-tax loss will be excluded from DRA’s Underlying EBIT (3).

The TSA is for a period of not more than three months from the completion date, with corporate services principally charged on a 
cost reimbursable basis between the parties.

DRA will retain the respective legal entities and remaining elements of the business not acquired by KAEFER. Net proceeds from 
the sale will be applied to the funding of remaining net working capital and to reduce the residual liabilities of G&S. Current 
claims, which are the subject of existing litigation to which G&S is a party, will not transfer to KAEFER and will continue to 
be managed by the DRA Group.


- ENDS -


This announcement was approved for release by James Smith, Interim Chief Executive Officer.
