New major risk - Revenue and earnings growth Earnings are forecast to decline by an average of 10% per year for the foreseeable future. This is considered a major risk.

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 Risk Earnings are forecast to decline by an average of 10% per year for the foreseeable future. Minor Risks Unstable dividend paying track record with dividend experiencing an annual drop of over 20% in the past. Large one-off items impacting financial results. Announcement • Feb 26

As such, there can be no certainty that any transaction will eventuate," the company told the NZX at 9am 13 October 2023. It later added a price-sensitive tag. The NZX placed a trading halt on Sky shares morning following the announcement, to allow it to "further engage" with Sky. "Prior to expiry of the blackout period during which the buyback programme was paused, Sky received a highly conditional, non-binding preliminary expression of interest from a third party to acquire all of the shares in Sky (NBIO). "Given it is a highly preliminary, incomplete and confidential proposal, Sky is only disclosing receipt of the NBIO at this time in response to inquiries as to the current status of the buyback programme, and, subject to its continuous disclosure obligations, does not propose to make any further comment at this stage. "In these circumstances, the board has continued the pause in Sky's share buyback programme since release of the full-year results on 24 August 2023. Sky will confirm any recommencement of the buyback programme in due course." "We got some really clear feedback from shareholders," said Sky TV chief executive Sophie Moloney. Announcement • Sep 19
