WDC into WFD
On 30 June 2014, the Westfield Group (WDC) transformed into Westfield Corporation (WFD) by transferring its Australian and New Zealand assets to Westfield Retail Trust (renamed as Scentre Group) and by retaining its overseas assets. Under the transformation plan, eligible WDC security holders will receive one thousand two hundred forty six (1,246) securities of the newly formed Scentre Group (SCG) and one thousand (1,000) securities of newly formed Westfield Corporation (WFD) for every one thousand (1,000) WDC securities held. Per ATO ruling, the approved cost base split was computed to be 36.38% for SCG and 63.62% for WFD.
