Binding Share Purchase Agreement executed on 21 October 2026

On 21 October 2026, BSA said it had executed and exchanged the binding Share Purchase Agreement with each seller of Eonetics Pty Ltd, under which they agreed to transfer their Eonetics shares to the company. The announcement referred to BSA's earlier announcement that it was in advanced discussions to acquire 100% of the Issued Capital in Eonetics. BSA said the agreement is subject to the same terms as set out in its previous announcement of 1 October 2026, and that capitalised terms in the new release carry the meaning given in that earlier announcement. The announcement was authorised for release by the Board of Directors.

Conditions and expected timing

According to the 21 October 2026 announcement, completion of the proposed Acquisition remains subject to customary conditions precedent. These include satisfactory confirmatory legal due diligence and required regulatory and shareholder approvals. BSA said that, subject to those conditions being satisfied, it expects to complete the acquisition shortly following its 2026 annual general meeting. The company said further details, including the outcome of shareholder approval processes, will be announced to the market in due course.

About the acquisition target

BSA described Eonetics as an Australian-developed aerial infrastructure technology Business with proprietary tethered-drone, software and remote infrastructure capabilities. The company listed applications across telecommunications, defence-adjacent, emergency response, public safety and AI-enabled infrastructure. The announcement also carried a forward-looking statement notice saying the terms and timing of the proposed acquisition, including whether it proceeds to completion, may differ materially from expectations, and that there is no certainty it will be completed on the terms summarised or at all.

Related Sector Context

BSA operates across telecommunications services, smart energy and EV infrastructure, sectors that combine contracted field-service work with emerging technology applications. The proposed Eonetics acquisition, if completed, would relate to aerial infrastructure technology, an area the target describes as spanning telecommunications and public safety uses.

The S&P/ASX 200 was down 0.37% at 1:16 pm AEDT on 23 October 2026, a considerably smaller move than that of BSA during the same session. The 21 October 2026 announcement is not presented here as related to the 23 October 2026 share price movement.
