Declared Dividend • Jun 19
Final dividend of UK£0.06 announced Shareholders will receive a dividend of UK£0.06. Ex-date: 6th August 2026 Payment date: 21st August 2026 Dividend yield will be 4.2%, which is higher than the industry average of 1.1%. Sustainability & Growth Dividend is not covered by earnings (241% earnings payout ratio) and the company has no free cash flows available, indicating it may be using cash reserves or debt to pay the dividend. The dividend has increased by an average of 4.8% per year over the past 10 years. However, payments have been volatile during that time. The company's earnings per share (EPS) would need to grow by 168% to bring the payout ratio under control. However, EPS is expected to remain steady over the next year, which means the dividend may need to be reduced to reach a sustainable payout ratio. Aankondiging • Jun 17

New major risk - Revenue and earnings growth Earnings have declined by 1.1% per year over the past 5 years. This is considered a major risk. Ultimately, shareholders want to see a good return on their investment and that generally comes from sharing in the company's profits. If profits are declining over an extended period, then in most cases the share price will decline over time unless the company can turn around its fortunes. A trend of falling earnings can be very difficult to turn around. If the company is well already established it may also be a sign the company has matured and is in decline. In addition, if the company pays dividends it will also likely need to reduce or cut them, striking a dual blow to total shareholder returns. Currently, the following risks have been identified for the company: Major Risks Shares are highly illiquid. Dividend is not well covered by earnings and cash flows. Payout ratio: 156% Paying a dividend despite having no free cash flows. Earnings have declined by 1.1% per year over the past 5 years. Minor Risks Large one-off items impacting financial results.

CML Microsystems Proposes Cancellation of Ordinary Shares from the Official List and Admission to Trading on AIM CML Microsystems plc announced on June 1, 2021 that the Board is proposing to cancel the admission of the Company's ordinary shares of 5 pence each ("Ordinary Shares") from the standard segment of the Official List and from trading on the London Stock Exchange's Main Market for listed securities ("Cancellation") and is proposing to apply for the admission of the Company's Ordinary Shares to trading on the AIM market ("AIM") of the London Stock Exchange ("Admission"), such that Cancellation and Admission (together the "Move to AIM") will take place simultaneously. The Directors believe that as a matter of good corporate governance, the Company's shareholders ("Shareholders") should be consulted and accordingly have resolved that the Cancellation should be subject to shareholder approval by way of an ordinary resolution ("Cancellation and Admission Resolution") to be proposed at the Company's Annual General Meeting ("AGM"). Therefore, the Cancellation and Admission Resolution will be proposed at the Company's forthcoming AGM. The Board believes that a move to AIM is in the best interests of the Company and its Shareholders. Following completion of the sale of its storage division (the "Disposal"), the Group is fully focussed on a much larger global opportunity within the wireless communications market and the Board considers that AIM provides a more appropriate regulatory environment for the Company and its growth prospects. The Directors also believe that as an AIM company, certain Shareholders may also benefit from particular inheritance tax and stamp duty reserve tax exemptions in respect of their interests in the Company's Ordinary Shares, which are more attractive than those applicable to a company on the Main Market. In addition, given the Company's anticipated growth and income stream (from dividends), being admitted to The Company will in due course invite shareholders to vote on the Move to AIM at the upcoming AGM which is expected to be held on August 4, 2021. Notice of the AGM plus further information on the move to AIM is expected to be posted to shareholders on or around July 2, 2021 at the same time as the Company's results (which are due to be announced on June 15, 2021).
