| Commentary:
| "Bendigo and Adelaide Bank is a long-standing client of the firm and we are very pleased to have worked with them again on this capital raising," said Webster. "Our deep understanding of the Bank's business and our close working relationship with its management, combined with the depth of experience of the Allens' capital markets team, meant that we were in a position to advise the Bank efficiently on all aspects of the transaction in what was a very compressed timetable for a prospectus offering," commented Pick.
