BRISBANE, Australia–(BUSINESS WIRE)–EML Payments Limited (ASX: EML) (S&P/ASX 200) is providing the following update regarding the pending acquisition of Sentenial Limited (�Sentenial”), announced to the market on 7 April 2021.

The update is provided in the context of EML’s subsidiary’s (PFS Card Services Ireland Limited) dialogue with the Central Bank of Ireland referenced in EML’s announcement of 19 May 2021.

As previously advised to shareholders, the acquisition of Sentenial Limited is subject to two conditions precedent:

• Change of control approval from the Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) – United Kingdom;
