How Tally knows
Lion already held about 36 per cent of the ASX-listed Little World Beverages Limited and acquired the remainder by scheme of arrangement, agreed 18 June 2012 and implemented 8 October 2012; LWB delisted the following day. Independence ended with that transaction. This question can be answered with certainty even though the direct legal owner cannot, because group membership and direct ownership are different facts.
Evidence
- Proves: That Little World Beverages Limited was acquired by scheme of arrangement and delisted from the ASX on 9 October 2012
- Proves: That Lion agreed on 18 June 2012 to acquire the 64 per cent of Little World Beverages it did not already own
