EBOS ANNOUNCES OPENING OF RETAIL OFFER

EBOS Group Limited (“ EBOS ”) is pleased to announce the opening today of its non-underwritten retail offer to eligible existing shareholders to raise up to A$50 million (NZ$54 million[1] ), with the ability to accept oversubscriptions at EBOS’ discretion (“ Retail Offer ”). The Retail Offer is part of EBOS’ equity raising announced on Thursday, 10 April 2025, pursuant to which EBOS also undertook a fully underwritten placement of new shares to raise approximately A$200 million (NZ$217 million) (“ Placement ”) to fund the acquisition of SVS and remaining 10% stake in Transmedic as well as providing balance sheet capacity. The completion of the Placement was announced on Friday, 11 April 2025.

Under the Retail Offer, each person who was recorded in EBOS’ share register as being a registered holder of EBOS ordinary shares and having an address in New Zealand or Australia as at 7:00pm (NZST) / 5:00pm (AEST) on the record date of Wednesday, 9 April 2025 (“ Eligible Shareholders ”) can subscribe for up to NZ$100,000 / A$45,000, respectively, of new fully paid ordinary shares free of any brokerage, commission and transaction costs.

The maximum application size has been selected with the objective of enabling as many Eligible Shareholders as possible to apply for their pro rata share of the equity raising via the Retail Offer.

New shares to be issued under the Retail Offer will be issued at the lower of the price under the placement (NZ$36.65) and the five-day VWAP of EBOS shares traded through the NZX Main Board up to, and including, close of the Retail Offer[2] .

New shares to be issued under the Retail Offer will rank equally with existing EBOS ordinary shares on issue and will be quoted on the NZX and ASX from the date of the Retail Offer allotment.

A letter will be sent to all Eligible Shareholders today via their preferred method of shareholder communications advising them of opening of the Retail Offer and providing further details regarding how to apply. No Retail Offer Document or Application Form will be sent to shareholders.

The Retail Offer Document will be available to all Eligible Shareholders at www.shareoffer.co.nz/EBOS. Eligible Shareholders are encouraged to visit that website and apply online before 5:00pm (NZST) / 3:00pm (AEST) on Tuesday, 6 May 2025, being the closing date of the Retail Offer.

Key dates relating to the Retail Offer are set out in the Appendix to this announcement. A copy of the Retail Offer Document also accompanies this announcement.

1 Assumes an AUD:NZD exchange rate of 1.0861 as at 10 April 2025

2 The A$ price will be determined with reference to the AUD:NZD exchange rate as reported by the Reserve Bank of Australia as at 4pm AEST on the date of close of the Retail Offer. Further details of the Retail Offer will be contained in the Retail Offer Document, which has been sent to Eligible Shareholders today. The proposed target Retail Offer size has been included to provide investors with some visibility of the expected amount to be raised and level of shares to be issued under the Retail Offer (but may be more or less). This target amount is considered appropriate to provide the opportunity for the vast majority of shareholders to achieve a pro rata allocation (based on the proposed total size of the capital raising) having regard to an analysis of EBOS’ share register, and precedent participation rates in other NZX and ASX share purchase plans/retail offers. EBOS may decide to accept applications (in whole or in part) that result in the Retail Offer raising more than A$50 million (NZ$54 million), in its absolute discretion.
