“It’s about opening the door – and by-the-by, they may have a few days’<br />

holiday on the Gold Coast too!” he added.<br />

For both the Queensland and Sydney shows, Fitz-Roy confirmed that<br />

detailed safety plans were being developed.“It’s about common sense and<br />

how you approach it, and those plans are in the works now. The idea is<br />

that none of these safety measures will have a large personal impact on<br />

our visitors – we want to be as normal as we can be,” he explained.<br />

One of the initiatives being introduced was pre-registration and selfprinting<br />

of identification badges. While Expertise Events will still issue<br />

badge holders and lanyards to visitors, they will not be recycled this year.<br />

“Where in the past we’ve recycled identity badges or printed them, we’ll<br />

now encourage everyone to do that from their own office or home. And<br />

that means it’s less of a contact situation. Simple measures are the way<br />

to go because they are the safest and the easiest for us to implement,”<br />

Fitz-Roy explained.<br />

Expertise Events is set to announce final confirmation of the IJWF at the<br />

end of this month; it has announced a special booking offer of a $100<br />

deposit, which will be fully refunded if it is forced to cancel the show. The<br />

Expertise Mate discount package is also available to exhibitors.<br />

LVMH has indicated it will not buy Tiffany & Co. shares on the open<br />

market and will maintain its offer of $US135 per share, which was<br />

accepted by Tiffany & Co. shareholders in February this year.<br />

In the report, Bogliolo stated that the LVMH deal – which was initially<br />

expected to close in <strong>July</strong> <strong>2020</strong> – will proceed, saying, “I am confident that<br />

Tiffany’s best days remain ahead of us and I am excited we will be taking<br />

that journey with LVMH by our side.”<br />

He also addressed delays in international regulatory clearance,<br />

confirming that authorities in both Russia and Mexico had approved the<br />

acquisition of Tiffany’s subsidiaries in those territories. South Korea’s<br />

Korea Fair Trade Commission cleared the takeover to proceed on 12 June.<br />

As previously reported, Australia’s Foreign Investment ReviewBoard<br />

(FIRB) was initially expected to approve the takeover in April, however due<br />

to changes in the regulatory framework, its review deadline was extended.<br />

On 6 <strong>July</strong>, Tiffany & Co. informed the US Securities & Exchange<br />

Commission that FIRB had cleared the acquisition to proceed; however,<br />

the company’s filing noted that “additional regulatory clearances” and<br />

“other customary closing conditions” were yet to be finalised.
