Request for trading halt: EBOS Group Limited (ASX/NZX Code: EBO)
We request a trading halt to be applied to EBOS Group Limited’s (EBO) ordinary shares (ISIN:
NZEBOE0001S6) under ASX Listing Rule 17.1 and NZX Listing Rule 9.9.1(a) and set out below details of
the request as per the rules of each of ASX and NZX.
We would like the trading halt to commence immediately and be lifted at the earlier of: (i)
announcement of completion of the Placement described below; and (ii) opening of trading on the
NZX for quoted equity securities on 11 April 2025.
Reasons for trading halt: EBO is proposing to undertake a fully underwritten equity placement to
selected investors of approximately A$200 million (the Placement), and has engaged UBS New
Zealand Limited (UBS) as underwriter and to assist it with the Placement bookbuild. EBO also
proposes to undertake a non-underwritten retail offer that will follow the Placement.
EBO considers that the trading halt is desirable to enable UBS to conduct the Placement bookbuild
and determine the allocation of shares. EBO considers that, but for the trading halt, the Placement
process would impact a fair, orderly or transparent market as information about the Placement or
take up by investors may be known by some market participants and not others, so the market
would not be trading on a fully informed basis.
As soon as the Placement and the allocation of shares under the Placement is completed, EBO will be
in a position to release details of the results of the Placement to the market. EBO believes that such
information will be price sensitive.
How long we want the trading halt to last: We would like the trading halt to commence
immediately and be lifted at the earlier of: (i) announcement of completion of the Placement; and (ii)
opening of trading on the NZX for quoted equity securities on 11 April 2025.
The event we expect to happen that will end the trading halt: Announcement of the outcome of
the Placement bookbuild by EBO.
We confirm that we are not aware of any reason why the trading halt should not be granted, or of
any other information necessary to inform the market about the trading halt.
Please contact me if you have any concerns or queries. Alternatively, you can contact Roger Wallis at

Yours faithfully

Message
:
NZ RegCo received a trading halt application from EBOS Group Limited (“EBO”) after market
close on 10 April 2025, in relation to a proposed capital raising by way of a placement.

The application requested an immediate trading halt of EBO’s quoted equity securities, to
remain in place until the earlier of: (i) announcement of completion of the placement as
described in the trading halt application; and (ii) opening of trading on the NZX for quoted equity
securities on 11 April 2025.

As the NZX Main Board was closed for the duration of the trading halt period applied for, NZ
RegCo has determined that a trading halt in EBO equity securities was not required.

EBO’s trading halt application is attached for reference.

Please contact NZX Product Operations on +64 4 496 2853 or productoperations@nzx.com
