Key points

  • Qube Holdings announced that Macquarie Asset Management has extended the exclusivity period for due diligence under the Process and Exclusivity Deed, signed on 23 November 2025.
  • The ongoing process stems from a non-binding proposal, with no assurance of a resulting binding offer; shareholders will be updated as developments occur.
  • Qube continues collaborating with Macquarie during this phase, as shares have increased 20% over the past year, outperforming the market.

The Qube Holdings Ltd (ASX: QUB) share price is in focus today after the company updated investors on the Macquarie Asset Management due diligence process. Qube confirmed that Macquarie has provided the necessary confirmation to continue the exclusivity period under the Process Deed, as previously announced.

What did Qube Holdings report?

  • Received confirmation from Macquarie Asset Management to extend the due diligence exclusivity period
  • Exclusivity governed by the Process and Exclusivity Deed signed on 23 November 2025
  • Update follows Qube's prior ASX announcement regarding the potential Macquarie proposal on 24 November 2025
  • No certainty yet that a binding offer will result from the process

What else do investors need to know?

Qube's ongoing discussions with Macquarie Asset Management follow a non-binding indicative proposal, but there's no guarantee it will turn into a firm offer. The Process Deed gives Macquarie an exclusivity period to conduct due diligence and possibly submit a binding proposal.

The company has reminded shareholders that no decision is required at this stage. Investors will receive further updates as the process develops, keeping them informed every step of the way.

What's next for Qube Holdings?

Qube expects to continue working with Macquarie Asset Management throughout the extended exclusivity period. The company will provide timely updates as and when further developments arise regarding Macquarie's intentions.

For now, the Process Deed means the due diligence phase goes on, but Qube stressed that there is still uncertainty as to whether shareholders will ultimately receive a binding proposal.

Qube Holdings share price snapshot

Over the past 12 months, Qube Holdings shares have risen 20%, outperforming the S&P/ASX 200 Index (ASX: XJO) which have risen 5% over the same period.
