Woolworths, Endeavour grilled over capex
Share
Woolworths’ liquor and hotels business Endeavour Group may have to raise new capital sooner rather than later if shareholders approve a proposed $12 billion demerger from the food retailer next month.

They plan to grill Endeavour Group chief executive Steve Donohue and Woolworths CEO Brad Banducci about the drinks group’s expansion and capital investment plans following the demerger.
