Under the terms of the scheme, Ampol would pay cash consideration of $3.78, subject to price adjustments relating to payment of dividends by Z Energy and delays to the implementation of the scheme past 31 March 2022. Following the payment of an interim dividend in December 2021, the revised consideration was $3.76. Ultimately, due to delays to the implementation of the scheme, shareholders received consideration of $3.782 per share.
On 25 March 2022, Z Energy shareholders voted to approve the scheme. The High Court granted final orders on 26 April. The scheme was implemented and Z Energy was delisted on 10 May 2022.
