TABCORP FLOAT SCRAPES FLOOR AT $2.25
THE Victorian TAB is expected to trade at a premium when it makes its debut on the share market today after the Victorian Government priced TABCorp Holdings Ltd at $2.25 a share, capitalising the company at $675 million.
The listing price is the absolute floor in the $2.25-$2.70 per share bidding range outlined in the TABCorp prospectus and reflects a price earnings ratio of 10.7 on a forecasted profit of $63.4 million in 1994-95 and a yield of slightly more than 6 per cent. The Government had hoped to raise a maximum$810 million.
The Victorian Treasurer, Mr Stockdale, said yesterday the "sabotage tactics" adopted by the Opposition Labor Party had denied the Government the chance of wiping out its forecast budget deficit of $94 million.
Despite indications last week that there would be an oversubscription from institutional investors, Australian institutions received all the shares that they bid for.
The Government is believed to have applied a listing discount of around 5 per cent to the funds institutions were prepared to commit in an effort to generate a premium for small investors in early trading. A senior government source said several large institutions cited the ALP's campaign and the recent softness in the equity markets as the major deterrent to bidding for stock.
There was also weaker than expected demand from the retail sector with only 50,000 small shareholders subscribing for 33 per cent of the 300 million shares offered, as against Government expectations of 65 per cent.
Small investors were locked into bidding at $2.70 a share and the Government will refund 45c per share to subscribers. In an attempt to facilitate an appetite for shares in the secondary market the Government pruned back the combined shareholding of foreign institutions to 27 per cent, as opposed to an allowable combined foreign ownership of 40 per cent.
One large institution that did not take-up shares said yesterday it was concerned about the cost structures of the TAB, the need to revamp the organisations computer system and the large renumeration package for managing director, Ross Wilson.
Australia's largest motoring organisation and insurer, the NRMA, also said Mr Wilson's salary package, which would be worth as much as $8 million, was"obscene".
The spokesman said that the NRMA did not invest in TABCorp as it was a"bargain hunter" and believed that TABCorp had been "fairly priced but would eventually trade under $2.25".
A spokesman for the AMP Society said yesterday that the AMP had acquired TABCorp shares and regarded $2.25 as "not unattractive."

Tabcorp merged with Jupiters in November 2003 and in 2004 took over Tab Limited , the New South Wales based wagering and media company , including Sky Channel .

Former Jupiters Investors
The merger between Tabcorp and Jupiters Limited ("Jupiters") was implemented on 13 November 2003.
The merger was by way of Scheme of Arrangement, whereby Tabcorp acquired all of Jupiters 201.8 million ordinary shares and all of Jupiters 1.9 million reset preference shares (RPS). The Scheme Booklet that was sent to holders of Jupiters ordinary shares and holders of Jupiters RPS may be downloaded from this website.
The record date for determining entitlements to cash and/or share consideration for holders of Jupiters ordinary shares and Jupiters reset preference shares was 5pm 10 November 2003 (Brisbane time).
Ordinary Share Scheme
Under the scheme of arrangement between Jupiters and its ordinary shareholders (Ordinary Share Scheme), Tabcorp offered on average (subject to the effects of rounding and the availability from a maximum pool of cash and shares as determined by a scaleback) A$285 cash and 24 Tabcorp ordinary shares for every 100 Jupiters ordinary shares, held by a Jupiters ordinary shareholder at 5pm (Brisbane time) on 10 November 2003.
Those shareholders had the option to maximise the number of Tabcorp ordinary shares or the amount of cash they were entitled to receive under the Ordinary Share Scheme, by making a Maximum Shares Election or a Maximum Cash Election.
Shareholders who did not make a valid election received the standard default consideration, being a mix of both cash and Tabcorp ordinary shares.
Shareholders who made a valid Maximum Cash election had that election satisfied in full and received cash at the rate of $5.25 per Jupiters ordinary share from Tabcorp.
Shareholders who made a valid Maximum Shares election or who received the default consideration were allocated a mix of cash and Tabcorp shares.
Calculation of Cash and Share Allocations
Information regarding the scale back and allocation of consideration to former Jupiters security holders may be found in the Tabcorp announcement of 13 November 2003.
Information relating to the calculation of the amount of cash and Tabcorp shares that were allocated were provided in transaction confirmation statements and the Capital Gains Tax letter sent to shareholders, a copy of which is available for download from the Related Documents section at the bottom of this page.
Ineligible Overseas Shareholders
Shareholders who were determined to be "Ineligible Overseas Shareholders", as described on page 10 of the Scheme Booklet, had their Tabcorp shares issued to a nominee company which sold these shares on market with the average net proceeds paid by cheque on 16 December 2003.
Tax Issues
Tabcorp also mailed a letter explaining the capital gains tax implications of the merger and cost base of the newly issued Tabcorp shares. The Capital Gains Tax letter can be downloaded from the Related Documents section at the bottom of this page.
Dividend Payments from Jupiters
In addition to the merger consideration paid by Tabcorp, for every Jupiters ordinary share, Jupiters paid a fully franked special dividend of 75 cents and a fully franked dividend of 17.2 cents representing the net proceeds from the sale of the Centrebet business (amounts subject to rounding).
A history of dividends paid by Jupiters is available further down the page.
Reset Preference Share Scheme (RPS)
RPS holders received $105.26 in cash per RPS plus 78.15 cents per each such RPS in respect of the accrued dividend equivalent.
Shareholder Benefits Scheme
The Tabcorp Shareholder Benefits Scheme was first implemented on 6 April 2004 with information sent to all Tabcorp shareholders with their interim dividend. This included to all former Jupiters shareholders who became Tabcorp shareholders.
To be eligible for the Tabcorp Shareholder Benefits Scheme shareholders must have at least 200 Tabcorp shares in a single holding. Those shareholders who were eligible at the interim dividend payment time were sent a Tabcorp Shareholder Benefits Card, which replaced the former Jupiters Shareholder Benefits Card.
Information about the benefits offered to shareholders is available from the Shareholder Benefits Scheme section of this website.

Question: what company did tabcorp merge with

Answer: Jupiters in November 2003

In 2011 Tabcorp demerged its casino operations resulting in Tabcorp 's casinos business being separately listed as Echo Entertainment Group .

Demerger of Echo Entertainment Group
The demerger of Echo Entertainment Group Limited (Echo) from Tabcorp Holdings Limited (Tabcorp) was implemented on 15 June 2011 by way of Scheme of Arrangement pursuant to the Tabcorp Scheme Booklet dated 15 April 2011 (Demerger).
Under the Demerger, Eligible Shareholders were entitled to receive one Echo Share for each Tabcorp Share they held at the Record Date of 10 June 2011.
The number of Tabcorp Shares held by Eligible Shareholders remains unchanged as a result of the Demerger.
The Demerger enables each Eligible Shareholder to have separate investments in two companies:
- Tabcorp: which will continue to operate Tabcorp's wagering, gaming and keno businesses; and
- Echo: which will operate Star City Casino in New South Wales, Jupiters Hotel & Casino on the Gold Coast, Treasury Casino & Hotel in Brisbane and Jupiters Townsville Casino.
Echo Shares commenced trading on the Australian Securities Exchange under the code EGP on 6 June 2011 on a deferred settlement basis.
Ineligible Overseas Shareholders received cash instead of Echo Shares. The Echo Shares to which Ineligible Overseas Shareholders would otherwise have been entitled, were sold on-market at an average price of $4.1951 per Echo Share. The proceeds from the sale of the Echo Shares were distributed to each Ineligible Overseas Shareholder on 30 June 2011. No brokerage, stamp duty, or other selling costs applied to the on-market sale of these Echo Shares.
Tax Issues
As part of the Demerger, Tabcorp sought a ruling from the Australian Taxation Office on the taxation implications for shareholders. On 29 June 2011, the Australian Taxation Office issued Class Ruling CR 2011/66, in accordance with the application made by Tabcorp. A copy of the Class Ruling CR 2011/66 can be downloaded below.
The Class Ruling states “For the purposes of the cost base and reduced cost base apportionment under subsections 125-80(2) and 125-80(3) of the ITAA 1997, the Commissioner accepts the volume weighted average price of the Echo Shares, $4.2711, and the Tabcorp Shares, $3.3067, as traded on the ASX (whether on a deferred or normal settlement basis) over the first five trading days after the Effective Date, 3 June 2011 as a reasonable approximation of the relative market value of those shares.”
A Tax Calculator is provided below as a general guide to assist shareholders in calculating the Australian capital gains tax cost base allocation for Tabcorp Shares and Echo Shares.
The above does not take into account the individual circumstances of particular Tabcorp shareholders and does not constitute tax advice. Tabcorp shareholders should seek advice from an appropriate professional adviser on the tax implications of the demerger based on their own individual circumstances.

In 2012 Tabcorp commenced operating Victoria 's new Wagering and Betting Licence .

"Racing Victoria welcomes the Victorian Coalition Government's decision to award the new Wagering and Betting Licence to Tabcorp Wagering (Vic) Pty Ltd and the Government's continuing commitment to delivering a ‘no less favourable' outcome for the Victorian Racing Industry," Hines said.
"We look forward to holding discussions with Tabcorp over the coming weeks to finalise the terms of the new joint venture arrangements.
"As the negotiations will be subject to a commercial in confidence process, we are unable to make any further comment at this stage."
The new 12-year licence, which commences in August 2012, allows the licensee to conduct pari-mutuel and fixed odds betting, operate the only off-course retail network in Victoria, establish and operate a Betting Exchange in Victoria to support account based betting and conduct approved simulated racing events.
As part of the licence terms, Tabcorp will make an up-front premium payment to the Coalition Government of $410 million.
"This is an outstanding result and will achieve the quinella of excellent value for money for this asset and a fair deal for the racing industry," Minister for Gaming Michael O'Brien said.
"As the successful licensee, Tabcorp will be responsible for delivering the entertainment, jobs and social benefits that Victorians expect of the wagering industry."
Mr O'Brien said Tabcorp was chosen following extensive evaluation of two very strong bids and had clearly demonstrated the required expertise.
Minister for Racing Denis Napthine said today's announcement would further secure the financial future of Victoria's racing industry by delivering increased revenue in real terms above current arrangements.
"The Victorian racing industry and Tabcorp will work together for the future of the industry," Dr Napthine said.
"Tabcorp has made a binding offer to the racing industry that is no less favourable than the current arrangements and the two parties will commence negotiations immediately to finalise the terms of their joint venture arrangements.
"The Coalition Government is committed to continued growth in the Victorian racing industry so that it remains the number one racing state in Australia and has already commenced work with these parties to enable a smooth transition in 2012."
As part of the bid evaluation, Tabcorp was required to show it has a business approach consistent with Victoria's responsible gambling principles.
Both Tabcorp and its agents will be required to comply with the Responsible Gambling Code of Conduct which will be monitored and enforced by the Victorian Commission for Gambling Regulation.
The Gambling Licences Review project is subject to two levels of probity, with both an independent probity auditor and the Independent Review Panel providing oversight to ensure transparency of the licensing process. The Panel's report found no impediment to the Minister making the decision.

In 2014 Tabcorp acquired ACT TAB.

In 2016 Tabcorp acquired the gaming systems company Intecq.

In 2016 Tabcorp acquired the gaming systems company Intecq .

Tabcorp buys gaming systems group INTECQ for $128m
Tabcorp will acquire ASX-listed gaming technology group INTECQ for $128 million in deal that Tabcorp says will strengthen its gaming services division and add $20 million to underlying earnings.
The Melbourne-based gaming giant, which owns the TAB wagering networks in Victoria and New South Wales, will pay $7.15 a share for INTECQ, which closed at $5.44 on Friday.
INTECQ, formerly known as eBET, provides gaming technology services, including loyalty programs and gaming machine monitoring, to 1200 licensed venues and a network of more than 70,000 gaming machines across Australia.
The INTECQ board has backed the Tabcorp bid.
Tabcorp's gaming services division provides pubs and clubs with a range of services, including supplying gaming machines, marketing and loyalty programs and even financing for venue refurbishment.
Sydney-based INTECQ, which is chaired by Paul Oneile, the former chief executive Aristocrat Leisure, has two businesses. eBET provides loyalty and rewards programs, cashless gaming systems and back-office productivity tools for pubs, clubs and casinos. Odyssey Gaming is a licensed monitoring operator that has provided monitoring and compliance services to the Queensland gaming since 1998.
The company said in May that its net profit for the 2016 financial year would be 27-35 per cent up on last year to $7.7-8.2 million.
Mr Oneile told The Australian Financial Review that INTECQ had been approached in late 2015 by another potential bidder but quickly rejected what it believed was a low-ball offer.
'Perfect fit'
Discussions with Tabcorp started in April after Tabcorp chief executive David Attenborough approached Mr Oneile, who described negotiations as "amicable".
He said that while there was always a possibility that a rival bid could emerge, he believed INTECQ was a "perfect fit" for Tabcorp as it would greatly expand the reach of Tabcorp's current gaming services business, which he says has a particularly strong market position in New South Wales and Queensland.
Mr Attenborough said INTECQ would provide "increased scale and diversification of earnings" for the group.
"INTECQ has a track record of innovation. We look forward to combining capabilities to strengthen our market-leading gaming and venue services offering."
INTECQ's deputy executive chairman Tony Toohey and its acting chief executive Peter Walford will stay with the business after the deal is complete.
Tabcorp said the deal would generate earnings before interest, tax, depreciation and amortisation of about $20 million in the year following completion of the deal.
Its shares fell 0.41 per cent to $4.87 on Tuesday. INTECQ shares surged 29 per cent to $7.03.
Merger talk
Tabcorp will report its full 2016 financial year profit on Thursday, amid mounting speculation of another round of merger and acquisition activity in the wagering sector.
The consensus analyst forecast for Tabcorp is a net profit of $182.7 million, up from the $171.3 million result recorded in the year to 30 June 2015.
Analysts believe there is a good chance merger talk between Tabcorp and Tatts Group could be reignited, after a nil-premium merger was shelved last November, though both are also expected to bid should the sale of the Western Australian TAB go ahead.
There is also a belief the smaller operators behind Sportsbet and Tabcorp, including Crownbet, William Hill and Ladbrokes, could discuss merging. William Hill's global business could be the subject of a bid by wagering companies 888 Holdings and Rank Group.
Bookmakers face hits from several government or political proposals later this year, including Senator Nick Xenophon and crossbench MP Andrew Wilkie's push for a ban on television advertising during live sport.
Another local concern for wagering operators is the plan by the South Australian government to introduce what has been termed a "place of consumption" tax of 15 per cent on the net wagering revenue of all betting companies offering their services in the state. It is understood the WA government and Queensland government are contemplating adopting a similar model.
A federal government taskforce has also been recently appointed to begin work on the federal government's proposal to strengthen the ban on online in-play betting, credit betting and wagering with offshore operators not licensed in Australia.

On 16 March 2017 Tabcorp was fined 45 million for breaching money - laundering laws .

Suspicious behaviour on 108 occasions was not reported to the Australian Transaction Reports and Analysis Centre ( AUSTRAC ) .

Tabcorp fined $45 million for breaching money laundering, terrorism financing laws
Gaming company Tabcorp has been fined $45 million for breaches of anti-money laundering and counter-terrorism financing laws.
Key points:
- The $45 million penalty is believed to be the highest in Australian corporate history
- Federal Court found Tabcorp failed to alert regulators on 108 occasions
- Tabcorp said the penalty and legal costs would be recognised in its next financial statements
The Federal Court found Tabcorp failed to alert regulators to reports of suspicious behaviour on 108 occasions over more than five years.
Tabcorp has admitted that the suspicions related to unlawful activity including money laundering and credit card fraud, which was not reported to the Australian Transaction Reports and Analysis Centre (AUSTRAC).
Justice Perram found that in one case, Tabcorp failed to alert authorities to a customer who collected $100,000 in winnings.
The $45 million civil penalty awarded against Tabcorp is believed to be the highest in Australian corporate history.
AUSTRAC chief executive Paul Jevtovic said Tabcorp had not done enough to ensure it was not being used by organised crime groups or terrorists to fund illegal activities.
"Its money laundering and terrorism financing function was at times under-resourced and Tabcorp senior management didn't regularly receive reports in relation to the money laundering and terrorism finance compliance," Mr Jevtovic said.
"In my view, the noncompliance arises from a corporate culture that is indifferent to money laundering and terrorism financing requirements."
In a statement, Tabcorp chief executive David Attenborough confirmed the $45 million settlement and said the company had cooperated with AUSTRAC.
"We remain firmly committed to continuing to work cooperatively with AUSTRAC into the future," Mr Attenborough said.
"We have made a significant investment in enhancing our compliance over the last three years and remain focussed on being the industry leader in regulatory compliance across all of our operations."
Tabcorp said the penalty and legal costs would be recognised as a significant item in its next financial statements.

Tatts to roll out 50 UBET stores in 2015
Tatts Group is confident it can bring its network of bricks-and-mortar betting shops back into growth as digital betting continues to surge.

Tatts Group will roll out 50 revamped wagering outlets under the new UBET name by the end of 2015 in a bid to reverse the declining performance of the group's bricks-and-mortar betting shops.

Tatts annual net profit rose by 25.7 per cent to $251.96 million in the year to June 30, from $200.4 million in 2013/14.
The group's lotteries business lifted revenue and earnings in a record performance.
But wagering revenue and earnings fell, reflecting the launch of the UBET brand late in the fiscal year, stiff competition from European and domestic bookmakers, and difficult economic conditions in regional areas.
In wagering, digital sales were strong, but bricks-and-mortar sales fell 2.3 per cent - worse than the fall of 1.4 per cent a year earlier.
Tatts chief executive Robbie Cooke said the rollout of new self-service terminals from January 2016, the rollout of 50 refurbished UBET stores by December 2015, and other initiatives would help boost the wagering business.
"We are confident that we can bring our retail network back into growth," Mr Cooke said on Thursday.
He said two pilot UBET stores had generated a double-digit lift in sales, and customers were already showing strong awareness of the UBET brand, which was launched at the end of April.
But Mr Cooke said Tatts was only at the start of a two-year journey to rejuvenate its wagering business.
Tatts said traction in the group's digital channels in both lotteries and wagering continued to build, with the combined lotteries and wagering database of 2.9 million customers starting to be used for cross-marketing products.
Online lottery sales grew 20.9 per cent. More than 11 per cent of lottery sales are now generated online.
Online wagering grew by 12.5 per cent. More than 25 per cent of wagering sales now occur online.
Tatts said it had started the new financial year with momentum continuing, with eight lottery jackpots at more than $15 million, compared to five in the same period last year.
Tatts also has launched its first new draw lottery game, "Set for Life", since 1996.
Tatts said the new game, launched in early August, had attracted a younger audience and was generating very strong online sales above 20 per cent.
In fiscal 2015, Tatts' lotteries business lifted revenue by 2.8 per cent to $1.98 billion despite a softer jackpot run.
Total wagering revenue fell 1.5 per cent to $632.9 million.
Shares in Tatts closed 15 cents, or 3.79 per cent, lower at $3.81.
Analysts said Tatts had missed market expectations on revenue and earnings, the dividend was lower than expected, and earnings from wagering had missed most market estimates.
RECORD LOTTERIES BOOST TATTS
* Annual net profit of $251.96m, up 25.7 pct
* Revenue of $2.92 billion, up 1.8 pct
* Fully franked final dividend of 7.5 cents per share, up two cents

Operations Lotteries and Keno The Lott is a market leader in Australian lotteries .

In FY18 the Lott delivered more than $ 2.7 billion in prize money to Australian players .

Mowing the lawn, having a coffee, or getting something out of the fridge – ordinary moments are quickly turned into winning moments with a new campaign from the Lott that features ‘everday winners, winning every day’.
The new initiative features everyday people, in their everyday moments, discovering they are one of the 74 million Australian winners that collected more than $2.7 billion in prize money last year playing one of lottery games at the Lott
The campaign is being brought to life through free-to-air television, radio, billboard and digital channels.
With about three Australian lottery winners crowned every second, the Lott marketing manager David Liddell said the campaign aimed to celebrate everyday winning moments.
“One of the biggest misconceptions about lottery games is that no one wins, when in fact, we have multiple winners every second of every day. These winners can take home a prize that ranges from $5 to $50 million and beyond!” he said.
“With the launch of this new campaign, our players and customers will get a fresh perspective on just how often these wins occur and how everyday moments are turned into winning moments when people simply check their tickets.”
The ‘everyday winners, winning every day’ campaign commences Monday 3 December 2018 and aims to support the existing marketing campaigns being run by individual lottery game brands at the Lott.
The new campaign runs until March 2019.
