EML Payments Limited Appoints Adam Olding as Chief Executive Officer, Effective March 30, 2026 EML Payments Limited announced the appointment of Mr. Adam Olding as Chief Executive Officer, effective March 30, 2026. This appointment reflects EML's progress on its EML2.0 transformation program and is intended to support the next phase of execution across the Group's operating and growth priorities. Mr. Olding has already been leading EML’s Australia, UK and Europe businesses. His appointment as CEO provides clear executive accountability across regions and functions as EML continues the deployment and migration of its single global technology platform. As CEO, Mr. Olding will be responsible for the day-to-day management of EML and will lead the Executive Leadership Team in executing the Company’s operational and strategic priorities including the deployment of the new global technology platform Arlo across the business. Adam has more than 25 years experience spanning payments, financial services, technology and listed-company environments. He has held senior executive roles in regulated businesses across Australia, the UK and Europe, with expertise in payments, governance, corporate development and business transformation. Adam joined EML as CEO, Australia, UK and Europe in September 2024 and has led the EML 2.0 transformation program across those regions. Following recent executive leadership consolidation, Adam also assumed oversight of the North American market; his elevation to Global CEO is a logical progression. Prior to joining EML, he was CEO of the education finance business ZeeFi. He previously served as Commercial Director and General Counsel of Optal Limited, where he worked with Anthony Hynes to build the business into a significant global payments company prior to its sale. Adam holds degrees in law (Hons) and economics from Monash University, together with postgraduate qualifications in communications and corporate governance. Duyuru • Jan 19

Jeremy Raper Says EML Payments 'Should Be Sold' EML Payments Limited (ASX:EML) board should immediately appoint advisers and put the business up for sale, activist investor and "long-suffering shareholder" Jeremy Raper said. Mr. Raper has written to EML Executive Chair Anthony Hynes, saying that in the wake of the company firing its newly appointed Chief Executive Ron Hynes (no relation) in December, the board should "immediately hire bankers and conduct a full sales process". The company's shares traded as high as 84c as rumours of the letter's existence leaked into the market on 24 January 2025, before the stock closed 2c higher at 81.5c. Mr. Raper said in his letter he believed a sale process could generate a price of $1.50 - $1.70 per share, or a 100% premium to the current share price. Wilson Asset Management recently increased its stake in EML from 8.6% to 9.7%, with the change lodged with the ASX on January 17. QVG Capital is also a substantial holder of EML, with a 5.7% stake. EML did not make any statement to the ASX on 24 January 2025 regarding the letter. The company was contacted for comment on -27 January 2025. Mr. Raper said there were "many obvious financial and strategic reasons" for putting the company on the sale block. "But the most salient one is this: after this most recent management debacle, whatever reservoirs of patience that remained amongst the investor base have been completely exhausted," Mr. Raper said in his letter. "As such, EML will never achieve a reasonable valuation whilst it remains a listed entity - and because of this, it is imperative EML consider fully all strategic alternatives now, with the business cleansed of legacy issues, but -before it embarks on the aggressive turnaround plan recently -outlined." EML sacked US-based Mr. Hynes on December 23 after six months in the top job, with the board saying it needed different leadership to execute its turnaround plans. Mr. Hynes was championed by EML upon his commencement in the role on June 30 for his "impressive value-creation track record, growth bias and proven leadership capabilities", which were aligned to the needs of the company and marketplace. He is the second chief executive to have recently departed the embattled payments group after a sweeping overhaul announced in April 2023 saw Emma Shand leave after only nine months in the job. Non-executive chair Anthony Hynes, who also joined the company mid-last year, assumed the chief executive role, replacing Ron Hynes. Mr. Raper said in his letter that EML's brand was damaged beyond repair, meaning a business sale was the best course of action. "Business turnarounds always carry risk, and here, with shareholder fatigue so palpable, the perceived out-year reward of a massive equity rerating (upon execution of the turnaround) is unlikely," he said.
