Smooth Landings: Webjet Group’s Demerger Success

When Webjet Group Limited set out to demerge from Webjet Limited, they faced a complex challenge: delivering a successful transaction for approximately 42,000 shareholders while meeting a tight ASX listing deadline. The outcome was a resounding success, creating two independent entities—Webjet Group Limited and Web Travel Group Limited—each offering unique growth opportunities for shareholders.
