Ex-date: 25th May 2026 Payment date: 15th June 2026 Dividend yield will be 13%, which is higher than the industry average of 2.4%. Sustainability & Growth Dividend is not adequately covered by earnings (94% earnings payout ratio). However, it is well covered by cash flows (50% cash payout ratio). The dividend has decreased over the past 10 years, indicating a lack of growth and stability in payments. The company's earnings per share (EPS) would need to grow by 4.0% to bring the payout ratio under control. However, EPS has declined by 4.7% over the last 5 years so the company would need to reverse this trend. Announcement • Apr 11

Embark Education Announces Its Intention to Delist on the New Zealand Stock Exchange Embark Education Group Limited announced its intention to re-domicile by listing on the Australian Securities Exchange (ASX) and delisting on the NZX. The Board has resolved to achieve the re-domiciliation and ASX listing through a court approved scheme of arrangement under part 15 of the Companies Act 1993 (the Scheme).

If all approvals are granted, Embark expects the scheme to be implemented on or about 28 June 2023, with the new ASX listing in place from 29 June 2023. Reported Earnings • Mar 02
