ASX Market Announcements 20 Bridge Street SYDNEY NSW 2000

Appendix 3Y – Managing Director & Group CEO Share Sale

EML PAYMENTS LIMITED (ASX: EML) attaches an Appendix 3Y disclosure of dealings in EML Shares sold by UBS to partially extinguish a structured finance facility Managing Director and Group Chief Executive Officer, Mr Tom Cregan entered into with UBS AG ( UBS Facility ).

EML, and Mr Cregan, are cognizant of the market interest in director share sales and are voluntarily providing these additional disclosures.

On 11 December 2019, EML advised the market via Appendix 3Y disclosure that Mr Cregan had entered into a Structured Finance Facility with UBS. Among other things, the proceeds of the UBS Facility were used to finance Mr Cregan’s purchase of 1,461,223 shares in EML at an approximate cost of $5.2m, acquired via EML’s Retail Entitlement Offer for the purposes of the acquisition of Prepaid Financial Services Ireland ( PFS ).

The effect of the UBS Facility is that, on maturity, the underlying EML shares Mr Cregan pledged as security may be disposed of by UBS to extinguish the debt (inclusive of fees) owed to UBS. Mr Cregan is not able to roll the UBS Facility forward if he is not in an approved trading window when the debt matures.

A portion of the structured finance facility fell due between 15 March and 18 March 2021. Mr Cregan was not in an approved trading window at that time and was not permitted to roll the facility forward. As a consequence, UBS disposed of 1,448,258 EML shares as disclosed in the attached Appendix 3Y.

The balance of the UBS Facility is secured by 1,750,000 EML shares, which UBS may sell if it exercises its security interest over those shares on maturity. In accordance with ASX Listing rules, any sale will be disclosed via ASX lodgement of 3Y certificates.

Mr Cregan has been a long term investor in EML, and last sold shares in EML in November 2017. As set out in the attached appendix 3Y, after the sale of 1,448,258 shares by UBS, Mr Cregan holds 17,020,257 EML shares, representing a 4.7% holding in EML. If UBS exercises its security interest over the remaining 1.75 million shares subject to the structured finance facility, on a net basis, Mr Cregan will have reduced his holdings by 6% over the past three and a half years.

As EML has previously indicated to the market, the EML Board allows Directors and senior executives to buy and sell EML shares according to their personal circumstances and investment profile. For directors, all trading is disclosed via lodgment of 3Y certificates with the ASX.
