Proposed Hospitality and Gaming Acquisition in Cambodia

Sydney, Nov 3, 2014 AEST (ABN Newswire) - Donaco International Limited (googlechartASX:DNA) (the Company) is pleased to announce that it has signed an exclusive term sheet, and is currently conducting due diligence, for a proposed material acquisition of a significant gaming and hospitality business in Cambodia.

Cambodia has a well-established gaming industry, which is supported by the Government as a driver of tourism, since local citizens are not permitted to enter casinos. The business proposed to be acquired is well-established and profitable, with good growth prospects. The market that it serves is distinct from the Company's existing China-facing business at the Aristo International Hotel. The proposed acquisition thus provides diversification as well as scale benefits.

Parts of the signed term sheet are binding, including an exclusive negotiation period extending into early 2015. This will enable the Company to complete its due diligence investigations, and to finalise and sign long-form agreements.

The acquisition will take place at a multiple of six times earnings before interest, tax, depreciation, and amortisation (6x EBITDA) for the financial year of the business ending on 31 December 2014.

The acquisition will be funded from the Company's existing cash reserves, and new debt facilities, together with an equity component for the vendor.

Based on the range of financing scenarios reviewed by the Board, the proposed acquisition is expected to provide strong earnings per share accretion for the Company's shareholders.

Further details will be provided to the market when the long form agreements are finalised.
