36. Subsequent events

On 22 July 2011, the Suncorp Group entered into a put and call option agreement with a potential purchaser in relation to the sale of the Suncorp Centre for $63 million. The agreement provides the potential purchaser with the right to exercise its call option to purchase the Suncorp Centre from the Suncorp Group; and the Suncorp Group the right to exercise its put option to sell the Suncorp Centre to the potential purchaser should the call option not be exercised within the agreed time frame. When either the call or put option is exercised, a sales contract will be entered into, with settlement expected late 2011. The Suncorp Centre is classifed as held for sale as at 30 June 2011 (note 16).

Other than as noted above, there has not arisen in the interval between the end of the fnancial year and the date of this report any other item, transaction or event of a material and unusual nature likely, in the opinion of the directors of the Company, to affect signifcantly the operations of the Suncorp Group, the results of those operations, or the state of affairs of the Suncorp Group in future fnancial years.
