ASX Announcement

24 September 2025

Announcement of Equity Raising

Today Australian Unity Limited ( Australian Unity ) has announced a non-underwritten 1 for 4 pro rata non-renounceable entitlement offer of mutual capital instruments ( MCIs ) ( Entitlement Offer ) and accompanying non-underwritten placement to wholesale investors ( Placement ) (together, the Equity Raising ).

The Equity Raising forms part of Australian Unity’s ongoing capital management strategy. The proceeds will strengthen the balance sheet and enhance financial flexibility, supporting Australian Unity’s activities that enable Real Wellbeing for our members, customers and community through our portfolio of commercial, sustainable businesses. The majority of the proceeds of the Equity Raising will be applied to reduce gearing, with funds also providing capacity to support the payment of further acquisition consideration for Plena Healthcare when due. The balance of proceeds will be used for general corporate purposes.

Equity Raising

The Entitlement Offer is being conducted in conjunction with the Placement. Australian Unity aims to raise approximately $120 million through the Equity Raising, with the ability to raise more or less.[1]

The offer price for the Entitlement Offer and Placement is the same, being $80.00 per new MCI ( New MCI ) ( Offer Price ). The Offer Price of $80.00 per New MCI represents a 5.00 percent discount to the Cash Dividend-Adjusted Closing Market Price of MCIs on 23 September 2025, the day before the Equity Raising was announced[2] .

At the Offer Price (assuming discretionary dividends are paid in full), the cash running yield will be 6.25 percent per annum and the grossed-up running yield will be 8.93 percent per annum[3] for New MCIs.

The New MCIs issued under the Entitlement Offer and Placement will rank equally with existing MCIs on issue in all respects from allotment but will not be entitled to the 15 October 2025 dividend of $2.5068 per MCI because they will not be issued before the record date for that dividend.

1 The non-underwritten Entitlement Offer, with a theoretical maximum of $101 million, has an uncertain outcome. The Placement is intended to reduce the risk of raising substantially less than $120 million through the Equity Raising.

2 The Cash Dividend-Adjusted Closing Market Price is calculated by deducting the cash value of the dividend payable on 15 October 2025 of $2.5068 per MCI from the closing price of MCIs on 23 September 2025 of $86.72.

3 Gross rate is based upon Australian Unity’s current corporate tax rate of 30 percent and assumes that the dividends paid on Australian Unity MCIs are fully franked and that investors are able to fully benefit from attaching imputation credits. The gross rate will change if Australian Unity’s corporate tax rate changes in the future.
