First half dividend of AU$0.30 announced Shareholders will receive a dividend of AU$0.30. Ex-date: 29th June 2026 Payment date: 16th September 2026 Dividend yield will be 7.5%, which is higher than the industry average of 4.4%. Sustainability & Growth Dividend is not covered by earnings (463% earnings payout ratio) nor is it covered by cash flows (218% cash payout ratio). The dividend has increased by an average of 3.7% per year over the past 10 years and has been stable with no material reductions to payments, indicating a long track record of dividend growth and stability. The company's earnings per share (EPS) would need to grow by 415% to bring the payout ratio under control. EPS is expected to grow by 74% over the next 3 years, which means the dividend may need to be reduced to reach a sustainable payout ratio. Tillkännagivande • Jun 19

New minor risk - Shareholder dilution The company's shareholders have been diluted in the past year. Increase in shares outstanding: 2.8% This is considered a minor risk. Shareholder dilution occurs when there is an increase in the number of shares on issue that is not proportionally distributed between all shareholders. Often due to the company raising equity capital or some options being converted into stock. All else being equal, if there are more shares outstanding then each existing share will be entitled to a lower proportion of the company's total earnings, thus reducing earnings per share (EPS). While dilution might not always result in lower EPS (like if the company is using the capital to fund an EPS accretive acquisition) in a lot cases it does, along with lower dividends per share and less voting power at shareholder meetings. Currently, the following risks have been identified for the company: Major Risks Debt is not well covered by operating cash flow (8.9% operating cash flow to total debt). Earnings are forecast to decline by an average of 25% per year for the foreseeable future. Minor Risks Dividend is not well covered by cash flows (dividend per share is over 12x cash flows per share). Shareholders have been diluted in the past year (2.8% increase in shares outstanding).

APA, Fortescue Reportedly Lead Race as Alinta Raises the Stakes in Asset Sale Alinta Energy Pty Limited is now understood to be set on selling all of the West Australian assets it has on offer, rather than just 80% stakes, and the understanding is that offers have landed between $1 billion and $1.5 billion. APA Group and Fortescue Metals are in the final stage of the race. There have been suggestions that Macquarie Capital and joint venture partner BP have fallen away. There may also be some other players in contention, with possibilities being I Squared Capital, Atco or TransAlta. It is understood most of the value of the offering is in the two power stations being sold by Alinta in WA - Port Hedland and Newman, a distillate power station with a battery storage system. The latter provides energy via a 220 kilovolt transmission line to the Roy Hill mine site in the Pilbara. The Port Hedland station has five 42 megawatt gas-fired turbine units, providing electricity to the Pilbara region. Some have estimated that the 11.8% stake in the 1,380km Goldfields gas pipeline, which transports natural gas from Carnarvon basin producers in the northwest of the state to Kalgoorlie in the Goldfields, is worth between $100m and $200m. APA owns the remainder of the pipeline and has pre-emptive rights to buy Alinta's interest. The remote energy grid would be worth about $50m at best. It is understood APA, advised by Barrenjoey and Morgan Stanley, is throwing everything at the contest and is the party to beat. Final bids are understood to be due in the middle of next month. Alinta is believed to have carried out management presentations to four parties in the second stage of the competition about three weeks ago. But now there is some talk that only Fortescue, advised by Citi, and APA are left in the race. Alinta's main customers in the WA mining region are Hancock, BHP and Fortescue. The offering has been described as highly complex. Alinta is working with investment bank Goldman Sachs on its offer. Analysts at Macquarie recently said APA had about $2bn of debt capacity, reducing the need to raise equity. Buying the Alinta assets would lift APA's capability in transmission management, with a transmission network of about 200km and scope for expansion and acquisition. Tillkännagivande • Jul 07
Macquarie Reportedly No Longer in the Final Stages of the Competition for Alinta and Weighing Options to Partner with Another Contender There could be a sudden turn of events in the contest for the West Australian energy assets of Alinta Energy Pty Limited. Speculation is mounting that Macquarie Group Limited (ASX:MQG) is no longer in the final stages of the competition and is weighing options to partner with another contender. One suggestion is that it is looking to join forces with APA. APA does not need Macquarie as its funding partner, but that is not to stop the Australian investment bank from trying. Final bids for Alinta are understood to be due in the middle of next month. About three weeks ago, Alinta was believed to have carried out management presentations to four parties in the second stage of the competition. But now there is talk that only Fortescue Metals Group Limited (ASX:FMG) and APA Group (ASX:APA) are left in the race. Investment bank Citi is working with Fortescue Metals, while Barrenjoey and Morgan Stanley are advising APA Group. Alinta is selling a stake of 80% or more in a selection of assets. These include its Newman Power Station and a remote energy grid in the Pilbara that includes a gas and distillate power station with a battery storage system. It provides energy via a 220 kilovolt transmission line to the Roy Hill mine site in the Pilbara. Also on offer is its Port Hedland Power Station with five 42 megawatt gas-fired turbine units providing electricity to the Pilbara. Alinta is also selling its 11.8% stake in the 1380km Goldfields Gas Pipeline, which transports natural gas from Carnarvon basin producers in the northwest to Kalgoorlie in the Goldfields. APA owns the remainder of the pipeline and has pre-emptive rights in place to buy Alinta's interest. Macquarie Capital was said to be working on an acquisition with BP, through the pair's Asian Renewable Energy Hub, of which BP is a 40.5% owner. The venture has a project in the Pilbara that it hopes can supply renewable power to local customers. It is working to support the development of 26 gigawatts of combined solar and wind power generating capacity. Sources say Fortescue was initially out of the running after round one, but re-entered when it adjusted its offer. They add that should suitors bid what the company has outlined in the information memorandum, the price would be well above $1 billion. Board Change • Jul 02
