What did Qube Holdings report?

  • The Supreme Court of NSW has approved the scheme of arrangement with Rubik Australia Pty Limited.
  • Qube Holdings will arrange for court orders to be lodged with ASIC on 8 July 2026.
  • Once lodged, the scheme will become legally effective and all Qube shares will be acquired by the bidder.
  • Qube intends to apply for its ASX quotation to be suspended after close of trading on 8 July 2026.

What else do investors need to know?

This marks the final regulatory hurdle for the proposed takeover first announced in February 2026. Once the court orders are lodged with ASIC, shareholders will see their holdings acquired under the scheme.

The company will shortly move to suspend trading in Qube shares, with completion of the acquisition process expected to occur as outlined in earlier announcements. Investors should look out for further updates as the acquisition is formally completed.

What's next for Qube?

With final court and regulatory approvals in hand, Qube Holdings will now progress to complete the scheme of arrangement. This includes delisting Qube from the ASX and transferring all shares to Rubik Australia Pty Limited as planned.

Shareholders do not need to take any action at this stage. Qube will communicate further details about payment and the end of share trading as the timeline progresses.

Qube share price snapshot

Over the past 12 months, Qube shares have risen 20%, outperforming the S&P/ASX 200 Index (ASX: XJO), which has risen 3% over the same period.
