Conditions and Timeline
The merger is slated for completion in H2 2025, contingent on shareholder approval, and an independent expert’s confirmation that the deal serves both parties’ best interests. No superior proposals must emerge before the deadline.
Strategic Vision: From Legacy to Leadership
Beyond tidying up balance sheets and share registries, the merger reflects a forward-looking strategy to accelerate investments, reduce complexity, and attract more institutional capital through greater liquidity and transparency.
The move is expected to eliminate governance friction, free up billions in dormant capital, and build a leaner, more competitive platform for long-term growth.
In a corporate climate often bogged down by inertia, the Soul Patts-Brickworks merger may prove to be the most decisive power play Australian markets have seen in decades.
