Director site visits have been limited during the year ended 30 June 2022 due to travel restrictions implemented as a result of the impact of the global coronavirus pandemic (“COVID-19”). PRINCIPAL ACTIVITIES The principal activities of the Group during the course of the year included the following:  cinema exhibition operations in Australia and New Zealand, including technology equipment supply and servicing, and the State Theatre; cinema exhibition operations in Germany; ownership, operation and management of hotels and resorts in Australia and overseas; operation of the Thredbo resort including property development activities; and property development, investment properties, and investment in shares in unlisted companies.     SIGNIFICANT CHANGES IN THE STATE OF AFFAIRS COVID-19 has had, and continues to have, a material impact on the Group’s operating divisions. The government mandated temporary closure of certain businesses, and subsequent periodic closures, lockdowns and travel restrictions, have materially impacted all of the Group’s businesses. Further information regarding the impact of COVID-19 on the Group is set out below in the Operating and Financial Review. There were no other significant changes in the state of affairs of the Group during the year. OPERATING AND FINANCIAL REVIEW The result for the year ended 30 June 2022 represented a significant improvement on the prior year, despite the first half impact of materially greater government lockdowns and restrictions in Australia and New Zealand, and the cessation of JobKeeper in Australia in June 2021. The Group’s normalised revenue was $953.8 million, up $300.6 million or 46.0%, and normalised earnings before interest, tax, depreciation, amortisation, the impact of AASB 16 Leases and individually significant items (“EBITDA”) was $138.3 million, up $111.1 million or 408.1%. Excluding the benefit of the German government’s Bridging Aid programs, which principally relate to losses in the prior year period associated with government mandated COVID restrictions, Group revenue was $890.8 million, up $237.6 million or 36.4%, and EBITDA was $75.3 million, up $48.1 million. As lockdowns and restrictions eased, the second half result demonstrated the strength of demand for the Group’s operating divisions. Excluding the benefit of government subsidies, second half revenue was $486.0 million, up 31.4% on first half revenue of $370.0 million and up 58.8% on the prior year second half. The Entertainment businesses benefited from strong pent-up demand for the cinema experience, a growing preference for premium experiences, and a desire to spend more on food and beverage. This was underpinned by the release and performance of key blockbuster titles including Top Gun: Maverick and Spider-Man: No Way Home, which are now two of the top five highest grossing titles of all time in the Australian market. The Hotels result was a tale of two halves, with the first half materially impacted by lockdowns and restrictions, followed by a strong second half recovery. Record rate growth was achieved, with the average room rate for the Group’s owned hotels up 5% on the year ended 30 June 2019 (“FY19”), and the fourth quarter of the year up 23.3% on the comparable period in FY19. Demand continues to grow steadily, assisted by the recent relaxation of New Zealand border restrictions, and the return of corporate travel. Whilst Thredbo was materially impacted by the forced closure of the resort during the 2021 winter season, this was followed by a strong second half result with normalised EBITDA of $6.3 million, up 6.0% on the prior year. The second half result reflects the success of the Thredbo growth strategy including the expansion of the mountain biking experience and the new business model which maximised the strong June 2022 pre-season snowfall. The Group’s unallocated corporate costs increased $7.5 million to $20.2 million due to an increase in insurance premiums and the cessation of JobKeeper. Underlying unallocated costs were 3.7% below FY19 unallocated costs, adjusting for the impact of insurance premium increases and short term incentive payments. The Group has exceeded its target to realise total gross proceeds of $250 million from the sale of non-core property assets following the sale of The Miller Hotel (formerly Rydges North Sydney), which settled in July 2022. The hotel will be retained in the Group’s portfolio under a management agreement. Total proceeds from the non-core property sales to date are $275.3 million, which represents a premium of approximately 28% over the most recent valuations of the properties sold. The Group’s property portfolio at 30 June 2022 has been independently valued at approximately $2.0 billion. 5 EVENT Hospitality & Entertainment Limited – 2022 Annual Report D I R E C T O R S ’ R E P O R T The normalised EBITDA result for the Group’s Property division was $7.8 million, down $9.0 million on the prior year, which included a favourable investment property fair value adjustment of $6.8 million in relation to the Canberra Civic Building, which was sold during the year. The Group’s net debt at 30 June 2022, before the settlement of the sale of the North Sydney property, was $210.4 million, below pre-COVID-19 net debt levels and significantly below net debt of $355.5 million at 30 June 2021. The enduring strength of the Group’s balance sheet will enable the Group to invest for growth and capitalise on opportunities that may arise in the future. The Group has continued to make progress with the two major development projects at 525 George Street and 458-472 George Street, Sydney. The priority is 525 George Street, a mixed-use development including prime George Street retail space, a premium Event Cinema, a 292-room hotel with conference space, and 115 residential apartments which are intended to be sold off-the-plan to assist in funding the project. A Stage One Development Application has been approved and design competition completed, with the Stage Two Development Application lodged in May 2022. The City of Sydney has approved a Development Application for the podium component of the 458-472 George Street development, which will include ground floor retail space, an extension of the QT Sydney hotel, conference centre and rooftop bar. In March 2022, the Group lodged a Stage One Development Application for a commercial officer tower above the podium with 33 levels and approximately 35,000m2 of office space. The timing of commencement of these developments will be subject to market conditions. The Group continues to invest in its key hotel assets, including upgrades of Rydges Melbourne and QT Gold Coast, which are well underway. During the year, the Group entered into an agreement to increase its interest in Rydges Latimer Christchurch from 16% to 100% over a period of two years. The recently upgraded 175-room hotel opened in 2013 and has extensive conference and food and beverage facilities, including the Bloody Mary’s restaurant, representing an excellent addition to the Group’s portfolio of owned hotels. The Group’s hotel strategy has evolved to include all segments of the market from luxury to budget accommodation. This evolution is enabled through acquisition of key city assets, new management agreements for existing brands, acquisition of the innovative market leading budget brand Jucy Snooze and the creation of The Independent Collection to better leverage the Group’s expertise by introducing new and innovative hotel management and service models. The Independent Collection offers solutions to independently branded luxury to budget hotel owners, and has grown to 12 hotels with the addition in the year of Hotel Motel Adelaide, The Terrace Adelaide, and The Kennigo Hotel Brisbane, and the more recent addition post year end of The Miller Hotel (formerly Rydges North Sydney), Arawa Park Hotel Rotorua (formerly Rydges Rotorua) and Hotel Totto, located in Wollongong. A new flagship Jucy Snooze property is due to open in Auckland later this year. Employee engagement continues to be a key area of focus in the context of the need to rebuild teams post COVID-19 mandated closures, a competitive market, and the impact of staff absenteeism due to COVID-19 and influenza. These challenges are being managed as effectively as possible, and the Group’s unique value proposition is being leveraged to appeal to candidates, in particular the ability to offer benefits such as flexible work options, wellbeing programs and a broad range of experience perks. Employment engagement is actively measured through internal surveys, and the Group’s employee net promoter score measures favourably against comparable companies in similar industries. Employee engagement is enhanced and supported by a focus on diversity and inclusion and the Group has increased the percentage of female employees in senior executive positions to 38%, with 51% of all Group employees being female. The Group has transformed during the COVID period and is ready to leverage the significant improvements made. This includes repositioning the Group to better reflect extensive expertise across the Entertainment businesses, Ventures for growth and the Travel businesses. To better reflect the Group’s strategy and operations, the Board has approved a change of the Company’s name to EVT Limited, subject to shareholder approval. This new corporate identity will also assist in raising awareness of the Group’s ELEVATE programme including its people, community, and environment strategic initiatives. This repositioning will also provide more insights for partners and investors to enhance the appeal of the Group and increase the attractiveness of the Group for new talent that may consider joining. In relation to the ELEVATE our environment strategy, a climate related risk and opportunity assessment has been completed and the results of this assessment are set out below on pages 24 to 28 of the Directors’ Report. The Group remains on track to fully align with the Task Force on Climate-related Financial Disclosures (“TCFD”) framework by no later than the year ending 30 June 2024 (“FY24”). The Group has also disclosed specific and measurable sustainability goals for the year ending 30 June 2023 (“FY23”), achievement of which now form part of the short-term incentive framework for the CEO and other key management personnel and executives. 6 EVENT Hospitality & Entertainment Limited – 2022 Annual Report D I R E C T O R S ’ R E P O R T FY23 outlook The financial year has started positively with key blockbuster titles continuing to perform well into the July school holiday period in Australia and New Zealand, growing demand for the Group’s Hotels, and similarly strong demand for Thredbo despite limited natural snowfall since early June 2022. The Entertainment Group’s performance will be subject, as always, to the overall appeal of the film line-up, with limited blockbuster releases scheduled for August and September 2022, and only partial visibility on titles to be released in the second half of the year. The long-anticipated release of Avatar: The Way of Water is expected to underpin performance over the key December and January trading period. When blockbuster titles are released, the Group expects to continue to benefit from its new operating model with improved margins. Demand for the Group’s Hotels continues to grow, with record average room rates being achieved on steadily growing occupancy. Continued recovery in corporate travel and the return of international travel are expected to assist in recovery for FY23. However, it is anticipated that a full recovery of the hotels market will be dependent on airlines returning to a pre-COVID model. The industry has indicated through various reports an estimated recovery in FY24. A solid winter 2022 result is expected for Thredbo with the Group’s new business model delivering pleasing results following excellent early season snowfall. Summer performance is expected to be relatively in line with the year ended 30 June 2022, subject to weather conditions. The Property segment result will continue to track below the year ended 30 June 2022 following the completion of non-core property sales. Headwinds anticipated in the year ahead include energy cost increases, particularly in Germany, and other inflationary cost increases including in salaries and wages, food and beverage, and cinema rents linked to the Consumer Price Index. From a corporate perspective, the investment required in compliance and risk management continues to grow, whilst the Group is also investing in its sustainability initiatives. Whilst it appears that most government mandated closures and restrictions may now be in the past, the Group’s operating divisions continue to be exposed to the risk of any reintroduction of such measures in response to future COVID- 19 infection waves. The transformation across the Group throughout the pandemic has been material from new business models to increased adoption of customer and business technology. The Group has a strong foundation for the future and greater agility to respond to market challenges. 7 EVENT Hospitality & Entertainment Limited – 2022 Annual Report T R O P E R ’ S R O T C E R I D t

The significant acquisitions and capital additions include the following:   hotel refurbishments at Rydges Melbourne and QT Gold Coast; cinema refurbishments at EVENT Shellharbour in New South Wales, EVENT Innaloo in Western Australia and EVENT Queensgate in New Zealand; and other refurbishment requirements for Thredbo, cinemas, hotels and resorts.  On 30 September 2021, the Group acquired an additional 54% interest in Rydges Latimer Holdings Limited (“Latimer”) taking the Group’s total ownership interest in Latimer to 70%. Prior to the acquisition, the Group had owned a 16% interest in Latimer that had been acquired in August 2017. Latimer owns and operate the Rydges Latimer Christchurch hotel. The net consideration paid for the acquisition of 54% of the total share capital of Latimer was NZ$14,208,000 (A$13,614,000). Further information relating to the acquisition has been outlined within Note 5.1 to the financial statements. Property The Group has exceeded its target to realise total gross proceeds of $250 million from the sale of non-core property assets following the sale of The Miller Hotel (formerly Rydges North Sydney), which settled in July 2022. Total proceeds from the non-core property sales to date are $275.3 million, which represents a premium of approximately 28% over the most recent valuations of the properties sold. The Group has also continued to make progress with the two major development projects at 525 George Street and 458-472 George Street, Sydney. Further information regarding these matters is set out below in the Review of Operations by Division. The Group’s interest in land and buildings and integral plant and equipment, including long term leasehold land and improvements, is independently valued by registered qualified valuers on a progressive three-year cycle. Independent valuations for the majority of the Group’s properties were obtained at 30 June 2021, and the total value of the Group’s interest in land and buildings based on these independent valuations is $2,014,182,000 (refer to Notes 3.3, 3.4 and 3.5 to the financial statements) whilst the total written- down book value of these land and buildings including integral plant and equipment at 30 June 2022 was $1,074,990,000. 9 EVENT Hospitality & Entertainment Limited – 2022 Annual Report The total value of the Group’s properties as at 30 June 2022 included: D I R E C T O R S ’ R E P O R T Valuation of: Interest in land and buildings Investment properties Assets held for sale Less: assets subsequently sold Total Valuations 2022 (a) $’000 Carrying value 2022 $’000 1,935,287 6,300 72,595 2,014,182 (66,000) 1,948,182 1,052,032 6,300 16,658 1,074,990 (14,126) 1,060,864 Valuations 2021 (a) $’000 1,965,563 64,500 27,380 2,057,443 (158,464) 1,898,979 Carrying value 2021 (a) $’000 1,030,447 64,500 17,973 1,112,920 (96,477) 1,016,443 (a) Valuations are based on independent valuations (as outlined in Note 3.3 to the financial statements). Capital structure Cash and term deposits at 30 June 2022 totalled $175,158,000 (2021: $120,978,000) and total bank debt outstanding was $385,562,000 (2021: $476,428,000). Treasury policy The Group manages interest rate risk in accordance with a Board approved treasury policy covering the types of instruments, range of protection and duration of instruments. The financial instruments cover interest rate swaps and forward rate agreements. Maturities of these instruments are up to a maximum of five years. Interest rate swaps and forward rate agreements allow the Group to raise long term borrowings at floating rates and swap a portion of those borrowings into fixed rates. The approved range of interest rate cover is based on the projected debt levels for each currency and reduced for each future year. At 30 June 2022, the Group had no interest rate hedges (2021: nil). Liquidity and funding As at 30 June 2022, the Group’s secured bank debt facilities was comprised a $650,000,000 revolving multi-currency loan facility and a $2,500,000 credit support facility (for the issue of letters of credit and bank guarantees). The debt facilities mature on 3 July 2023 and are supported by interlocking guarantees from most Australian and New Zealand-domiciled Group entities and secured by specific property mortgages. The debt facilities were amended and restated on 3 July 2020 and initially consisted of the $650,000,000 revolving multi-currency loan, a $100,000,000 non-revolving loan and $2,500,000 credit support facility. In relation to the non-revolving loan, the Group repaid and cancelled $43,500,000 (2021: $56,500,000) of that facility during the year. Debt drawn under the loan facilities bears interest at the relevant inter-bank benchmark reference rate plus a margin of between 1.75% and 3.60% per annum. As at 30 June 2022, the Group had drawn $365,510,000 (2021: $476,428,000) under the loan facilities and $1,349,000 under the credit support facility (2021: $1,225,000). Cash flows from operations Net cash inflows from operating activities as reported increased to $279,907,000 from $148,137,000 in the prior year. After adjusting to include the payment of lease liabilities, net cash inflows from operating activities increased to $175,631,000 from $45,412,000 in the prior year. This movement was driven by the recovery in the Group’s trading operations, particularly in the second half of the year. Impact of legislation and other external requirements From March 2020, a number of statutory requirements were introduced in Australia, New Zealand and Germany by relevant authorities in response to COVID-19. Where applicable, these requirements have been satisfied by the Group in each territory. Safety and wellbeing remain the Group’s highest priority. Detailed COVID-19 safety plans and staff training programs were developed for each of the Group’s operating divisions. In addition, to ensure these plans were consistent with best practice in Australia, advice was also sought from infectious diseases experts and the advice was incorporated into the Group’s safety plans. There were no other changes in environmental or other legislative requirements during the year that have significantly impacted the results of operations of the Group. 10 EVENT Hospitality & Entertainment Limited – 2022 Annual Report D I R E C T O R S ’ R E P O R T REVIEW OF OPERATIONS BY DIVISION Entertainment Australia As at 30 June Cinema locations* Cinema screens* 2022 68 658 2021 Movement 71 680 (3) (22) * Managed and joint venture cinema sites (excludes Moonlight Cinema sites and screens and the State Theatre). Entertainment Australia revenue was $318.6 million, a 45.3% increase on the prior year. Excluding JobKeeper which benefited the prior year, revenue increased 71.7% on the prior comparable period. The first half of the year was disrupted by the various state government mandated closures and COVID-19 operating restrictions, with the majority of these in NSW and VIC as outlined below.  NSW: Greater Sydney was locked down from 1 July to 10 October, whilst Newcastle and certain other regional areas were locked down from 9 August to 10 October. Capacity restrictions, mandatory face masks and vaccine certificate requirements applied following reopening from 11 October.  VIC: Greater Melbourne was locked down from 6 August to 29 October, with regional areas locked down from 22 August to 27 September. Capacity restrictions applied during the first two weeks of November, and mandatory face masks and vaccine certificate requirements also applied.  QLD: Brisbane sites were only closed for nine days in the year, and Gold Coast sites were closed for seven days in the year. Capacity restrictions were lifted in December 2021 in conjunction with the introduction of vaccine certificate requirements. Mandatory face mask requirements also applied. SA: An eight-day lockdown was in place at the end of July, whilst capacity restrictions were in operation from August through to May 2022. Mandatory face mask requirements also applied.   WA: There were no closures during the period, and capacity restrictions were in place for the first two weeks of July and also for three weeks in January 2022. Mandatory face mask requirements also applied. Despite the increased restrictions, the Australian box office increased by 73.4% on the prior year, noting that the prior year was impacted by studios delaying blockbuster releases due to COVID-19 related global cinema closures. The Group’s box office revenue increased by 83.2% on the prior year. During the period, eight titles were released that grossed over $20 million each, compared to only five titles in the prior year. The increase in blockbuster films resulted in the top 10 films grossing $370.5 million, an increase of 103.4% on the collective gross of the top 10 titles in the prior year. For the two key trading months of December and June, the Group box office revenue was back in line with pre-COVID levels. For December, the Group box office revenue was down only 2% on December 2018, and without the impact of the Omicron wave in late December the Group’s month of December 2021 box office revenue would have exceeded the December 2018 month. For June, the Group box office revenue exceeded June 2019 by 9.7%. Top Gun: Maverick (released 28 May) has cumulatively grossed $87.7 million making it the third highest grossing film in Australian history and Spider-Man: No Way Home (released 16 December) grossed $81.0 million making it the fifth highest grossing film and grossing 117.4% more than the previous Spider-Man title (Spider-Man: Far from Home). Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness (released 5 May) grossed $38.2 million, 82.4% more than the previous Doctor Strange title and No Time to Die (released 11 November) grossed $36.1 million at the Australian box office, which is in line with the previous James Bond title, Spectre ($35.7 million). Fewer government mandated COVID restrictions were in effect when these films were released, and there was an immediate return of customers to cinemas. Premium concepts were strongly favoured by customers, with admission contribution from premium concepts increasing by 6.5 percentage points over the prior year. The premiumisation strategy resulted in a record yield result with average ticket price increasing by 17.7% over the pre-COVID FY19. In addition, a period of record merchandising spend per head was achieved, increasing 18.4% over the prior year and by 48.9% over the pre-COVID FY19. The Group’s direct customer relationships remain exceptionally strong with Cinebuzz representing 68% of cinema visits and 84% of online transactions. The new variable operating model resulted in a significantly improved result for the period over the comparable prior period. As a result of the premiumisation strategy and new operating model, growth in cinema EBITDA margin of 3.8 percentage points was achieved in June 2022 when compared to the pre-COVID-19 June 2019 month. 11 EVENT Hospitality & Entertainment Limited – 2022 Annual Report D I R E C T O R S ’ R E P O R T The overall normalised EBITDA profit for the year ended 30 June 2022 was $30,446,000, which compared favourably with an EBITDA loss of $3,280,000 in the prior comparable period, an improvement of $33,726,000. During the year, the Group completed the premiumisation upgrade to the eight screen Shellharbour (NSW) complex. This included a new self-service Marketplace and the remaining six auditoriums were refurbished with either the new three seat concept format of daybeds, reclining seats and premium fixed back seating or two seat concept with reclining seats and premium fixed back seating introduced. The key sites at Chermside (Brisbane) and Innaloo (Perth) are currently being refurbished. As part of the pre-COVID-19 strategy to divest or close the underperforming cinemas in the portfolio, the Group exited the leases at BCC Coolangatta (6 screens) in March and BCC Morayfield (eight screens) in April. The eight screen BCC Toombul complex was flood damaged in February and closed; because of this event, the landlord for the Toombul Shopping Centre subsequently announced closure of the entire centre and the lease was terminated in June. At year end, the four screen cinema at Lismore is currently closed after being flood damaged in February and the three screen cinema at Wollongong is also closed after sustaining significant storm damage in February. Entertainment New Zealand (Note: all amounts in Australian dollars unless otherwise stated) As at 30 June Cinema locations* Cinema screens* * Managed and joint venture cinema sites. 2022 20 140 2021 Movement 20 140 – – Entertainment New Zealand revenue was $58.2 million or 39.6% up on the prior year, and excluding government wage subsidies revenue increased 35.9%. The impact of the New Zealand Government COVID-19 restrictions and closures was more significant in the year ended 30 June 2022 than it had been in the prior year; in the prior year, cinemas remained open with the exception of the mandated closure of the Auckland cinemas for a 19-day period in August, whilst in the current year there was a nationwide shutdown for 21 days and Auckland shutdown for a further 107 days. Despite the increased impact of COVID-19 restrictions in New Zealand, nationwide box office increased by 39.5% over the prior year. As in Australia, the prior year was impacted by studios delaying blockbuster releases due to COVID-19 related global cinema closures. There were five titles that grossed over $4 million each at the New Zealand box office during the year: Spider-Man: No Way Home (NZ$11.6 million); Top Gun: Maverick (NZ$10.8 million); Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness (NZ$6.1 million); No Time to Die (NZ$5.7 million); and The Batman (NZ$4.4 million), compared to only one title in the prior year. The return of blockbuster films resulted in the top 10 grossing $55.8 million, an increase of 82.7% on the collective gross of the top 10 in the prior year. The top four films were sequel titles, all of which performed very well when compared to the prior release in the respective series. For the titles with comparatives, Spider-Man: No Way Home grossed NZ$11.6 million which is 110.6% up on the prior Spider-Man title (Spider-Man: Far from Home); No Time to Die grossed NZ$5.7 million, only 2.6% down on the prior James Bond (Spectre), despite releasing whilst Auckland cinemas were mandated to close; and Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness grossed NZ$6.1 million up 94.4% on the prior Doctor Strange title. As evidenced in Australia, the ‘Cinema of the Future’ premiumisation strategy resulted in customers spending more per visit and the operational model changes reduced the cost to serve whilst customer sentiment improved relative to the pre-COVID period. These initiatives resulted in average ticket price increasing by 31.1% over the pre-COVID FY19 with every month representing a record for that month. In addition, a record period of merchandising spend per head was achieved, up 14.1% on the prior year and up 43.1% on pre-COVID spend per head. Cinebuzz maintained its strong influence, with Cinebuzz representing approximately 76% of all online transactions. The EBITDA result for the year ended 30 June 2022 was a profit of $1,760,000, which was a significant improvement on the EBITDA loss of $3,120,000 in the prior year. Entertainment Germany As at 30 June Cinema locations* Cinema screens* * Managed and joint venture cinema sites. 12 EVENT Hospitality & Entertainment Limited – 2022 Annual Report 2022 48 376 2021 Movement 49 384 (1) (8) D I R E C T O R S ’ R E P O R T The Entertainment Germany division reopened on 1 July 2021 following an eight-month closure period from November 2020 to June 2021. Initial trading results have been encouraging despite the capacity restrictions applicable across the various German states. “3G” rules, referring to the German words geimpft (vaccinated), getestet (tested) and genesen (recovered), applied in certain regions and required customers admitted to a cinema provide evidence that they were vaccinated, had a recent negative COVID-19 test, or had recovered from COVID-19. This changed to a “2G+” rule across a number of states requiring customers to show evidence of vaccination and a negative COVID test. Furthermore, as a result of the Omicron outbreak, approximately 16% of screens across the Cinestar circuit were mandated to close during part or all of December and January. All screens have reopened as at the end of January 2022, and “2G” rules were no longer applicable from 27 April 2022. The highest grossing titles within the German market included: No Time to Die (6.01 million admissions), an outstanding result and the best performing title in the German market since the pre-COVID-19 release of Frozen 2; Spider-Man: No Way Home (4.54 million admissions), the second-best performing Marvel title in Germany of all time after Avengers: Endgame; and Fantastic Beasts – The Secrets of Dumbledore (2.82 million admissions). The top 10 films achieved total market admissions of 26.24 million, which was 407.0% higher than the prior year, noting that cinemas were closed in Germany in November 2020 through to the end of June 2021. Merchandising spend per head increased by 17.6% over the prior year and by 29% over the pre-COVID FY19. Given the extended lockdown period in Germany in the prior year and access and capacity restrictions during most of the year, the Group mitigated some of the financial impact with active cost management initiatives and pursuing available German government subsidies. Subsidy programs included a damage compensation program for affected businesses for the November and December 2020 lockdown period, a subsidy program for the January to September 2021 period referred to as Bridging Aid III, and a subsidy program for the January to June 2022 period referred to as Bridging Aid III+ and Bridging Aid IV. Furthermore, the Group has received support under the German Government’s Culture Fund, which provides compensation in cases where a spike in coronavirus infections forces events to be cancelled, postponed or capacity restricted, and the venue is not mandated to close. Entertainment Germany revenue was $283.6 million, including government subsidies, which was 224.1% above the prior year. Excluding the Bridging Aid programs, which relate to material COVID-19 related losses principally incurred in the year ended 30 June 2021, Entertainment Germany revenue was $220.6 million, 152.1% above the prior year. EBITDA for year was $75.6 million, which compared favourably with an EBITDA loss of $33.6 million in the prior year, an improvement of $109.2 million. Excluding the German Government’s Bridging Aid programs, EBITDA was $12.6 million or $46.3 million above the prior year. Hotels and Resorts As at 30 June Locations* Rooms* Locations (owned) Rooms (owned) 2022 71 11,109 23 3,547 2021 Movement 70 11,071 25 3,705 1 38 (2) (158) * Owned, managed and other hotels with which the Group has a branding, license or affiliate agreement. Overall Hotels and Resorts revenue was $217.7 million, an increase of 7.4% on the prior year. Revenue was up 16.4% to $216.0 million excluding government subsidies received in the prior year. Two diametrically opposed half year periods characterised the result. Trade was suppressed in the first half by the longest and harshest government-imposed border closures and lockdowns since the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic. Conversely, high community-wide vaccination rates enabled the easing of restrictions and the progressive opening of travel markets throughout the second half. A solid recovery followed, particularly in the final quarter of the year. Government wage subsidies across Australia and New Zealand declined by $11.1 million over the prior year and EBITDA of $26.6 million declined over the prior year by $6.9 million or 20.5%, whilst normalised profit before interest and income tax expense was a loss of $1.2 million, $7.1 million below the prior comparable period. Excluding the net benefit of government subsidies received in the prior year, underlying EBITDA increased 20.6%. Occupancy in the Group’s owned hotels was 46.7% with a revenue per available room (“revpar”) of $86. Occupancy was down on the prior comparable period by 5.0 percentage points, whilst revpar decreased by 2.3%. There was a strong escalation in the average room rate, up 8.2% on the prior year, and on a like-for-like basis, the average room rate was up 5% on the pre-COVID FY19 year. 13 EVENT Hospitality & Entertainment Limited – 2022 Annual Report D I R E C T O R S ’ R E P O R T Recovery momentum is evident throughout the result, best illustrated by the contrast between the first half EBITDA loss of $1.9 million, compared to second half EBITDA profit of $29.8 million. The fourth quarter of the financial year was especially pleasing, with EBITDA on a like-for-like basis excluding divested properties exceeding the comparative fourth quarter of FY19, and margin approaching FY19 levels. Record average room rate performance was achieved across the Group, average room rate growth of 23.3% and revpar growth of 16.3% was achieved on the comparable period in FY19. As volatility in trading levels eased, the Group’s hotels began the journey towards normalised operating rhythms. The continued application of new operating models, originally deployed in the early stages of the pandemic, assisted in enabling tight management of the emerging inflationary impacts on costs. These factors, combined by record levels of rate growth in the second half, saw rooms and food and beverage margins trend up. At a brand level, Rydges, QT and Atura hotels continue to attract greater than fair market share. Performance across the portfolio was underpinned by continued strong growth from the domestic leisure segment and a recovery in corporate travel. In addition, the return of conference and events business became evident in the latter part of the year. Technological innovations, designed to improve efficiencies and the guest experience, continue to be rolled out, including advanced management reporting tools, automated check in kiosks and in-hotel guest digital applications. The Group’s hotel strategy has evolved to include all segments of the market from luxury to budget accommodation. The Independent Collection has been created to better leverage the Group’s expertise by introducing new and innovative hotel management and service models. The Independent Collection has grown to 12 hotels with the addition in the year of Hotel Motel Adelaide, The Terrace Adelaide, and The Kennigo Hotel Brisbane, and the more recent addition post year end of The Miller Hotel (formerly Rydges North Sydney), Arawa Park Hotel Rotorua (formerly Rydges Rotorua) and Hotel Totto, located in Wollongong. The Group will be opening a new flagship Jucy Snooze location in Auckland later this year. In addition to the new hotels referenced above, three additional properties will join the Group early in FY23: Rydges Darling Square Sydney (formerly Radisson), Rydges King Square Perth (formerly Peppers) and Rydges Rotorua (formerly Holiday Inn). Consistent with the Group’s strategy of divesting or upgrading older assets, Rydges hotels in Bankstown and North Sydney were sold during the period with total proceeds of $103 million. Both properties have been retained within the Group under management agreements. Major refurbishments of QT Gold Coast and Rydges Melbourne are underway. The Gold Coast refurbishment is due for completion later in the 2022 calendar year, whilst Rydges Melbourne, which is currently closed, is expected to reopen late in FY23. Thredbo Alpine Resort The full year result for Thredbo was a tale of two seasons. Winter revenue was materially affected by COVID-19 related government mandated restrictions which resulted in total closure of the resort in August 2021 for five peak trading weeks. This was the first time in Thredbo’s history that winter operations had ceased for an extended period. As a result, skier days were down 55.7% on the prior year. The continued expansion of the mountain biking offer resulted in 24.8% growth in Mountain biking revenue. Reported EBITDA for summer of $7.4 million included $7 million of revenue from property sales. On an adjusted basis, this was only the second time in Thredbo’s history that the summer months have been profitable. The strong response by management in developing industry leading COVID-19 practices and defining the business model enabled Thredbo to operate very efficiently and safely as restrictions eased. COVID-19 and influenza have continued to challenge staffing levels particularly in food and beverage venues and strategies have been deployed to minimise any impact. All other parts of the business are fully staffed. The success of the Group’s new business model is now being reflected year-round. Customer sentiment remained high with an improved net promoter score across winter and into the summer months. Winter trade in June showed revenue growth across all areas of the business based on the continued success of this model and solid opening weekend conditions. As part of the property development strategy, the Group continues to unlock value from unutilised bed rights at Thredbo. During the period, the Group agreed terms for the development of two separate lots, realising total revenue of $7.0 million. Further initiatives are in progress to unlock more development opportunities. EBITDA for the full year was $16.3 million, 45.3% below the prior comparable full year, and the normalised profit before income tax expense was $11.3 million, 55.0% below the prior comparable full year result. This was a solid result in the context of the COVID-19 closures outlined above. 14 EVENT Hospitality & Entertainment Limited – 2022 Annual Report D I R E C T O R S ’ R E P O R T Progress continues to be made with Thredbo’s strategic growth plan. Construction of a further three mountain bike trails in the Cruiser area has commenced, with completion scheduled for prior to the 2022/23 summer season. Major upgrades to the snowmaking system including pipe replacement and the installation of 10 new snowmaking fan guns on Friday Flat were completed in time for the 2022 winter season. The proposed Alpine Coaster installation is expected to add a further year-round attraction to the resort and is scheduled to be completed for the 2024 winter season. Preparatory work has commenced for the replacement of the two-seater Snowgums chairlift with a new six-seater chairlift, with construction scheduled for completion for the 2025 winter season. Property and Other Investments The Group has exceeded the goal of $250 million gross proceeds (before selling costs and tax) from non-core asset disposals following the settlement of the sale of The Miller Hotel (formerly Rydges North Sydney) on 25 July 2022 for $75 million, with total gross sale proceeds since commencement of the non-core asset divestment strategy of $275.4 million. To date, the total gross proceeds achieved from this strategy have exceeded the most recent valuations by 28%. The other assets sold in the year were Rydges Bankstown, Canberra Civic (commercial office), Newcastle Cinema (cinema operations ceased in 2020), Hindley Street Adelaide (cinema operations ceased in 2020) and the management rights and associated property relating to QT Falls Creek. As noted above, the Group has maintained management agreements for The Miller Hotel under the Independent Collection by Event (formerly Rydges North Sydney) and Rydges Bankstown. The Group has continued to make progress with the two major development projects at 525 George Street and 458-472 George Street, Sydney. A Stage One Development Application has been approved and design competition completed for the proposed 525 George Street, Sydney development for a mixed-use development of up to 43 storeys to include a podium with ground floor retail space on George Street (560m2), a five-screen cinema complex, and a tower including a new hotel with 292 rooms, conference centre, 115 residential apartments and 165 car parking spaces. The Group submitted its Stage Two Development Application in May 2022 and anticipates final approval in FY23. Detailed interior design work is now in progress. Subject to market conditions and the success of residential sales, construction is targeted to commence at the end of FY24 or early in the year ending 30 June 2025, with completion estimated in the year ending 30 June 2028. In November 2020, the City of Sydney approved the Development Application for the podium component of the proposed 458-472 George Street, Sydney development. This will include ground floor retail space (340m2) on George Street, an extension of the QT Sydney hotel with 72 additional rooms and conference centre and QT rooftop bar. A second Stage One Development Application was lodged in March 2022 for a commercial office tower above the podium with 33 levels and approximately 35,000m2 of commercial office space. Timing of the development will be subject to market conditions, noting that following the Stage One Development Application approval of the commercial tower component, a Design Competition and a Stage Two Development Application process will be required. It is anticipated that should the Group proceed with the commercial office tower development, a joint venture partner will be identified to assist in funding and developing the commercial office tower component. Segment revenue was down 49.0% to $11.2 million, primarily due to the property divestments of Canberra Civic in the current year and the Forum Brisbane and Double Bay buildings in the prior year. The normalised profit before interest and income tax expense of $5.7 million was 59.6% below the prior year. Unallocated revenues and expenses Unallocated corporate costs increased $7.5 million to $20.2 million due to an increase in insurance premiums and the cessation of JobKeeper. Underlying unallocated costs were 3.7% below FY19 unallocated costs adjusting for the impact of insurance premium increases and short term incentive payments. No short term incentive payments were made to key management personnel in the year. 15 EVENT Hospitality & Entertainment Limited – 2022 Annual Report D I R E C T O R S ’ R E P O R T BUSINESS STRATEGIES The Group’s business is comprised of:  Entertainment – including cinema operations in Australia, New Zealand and Germany, restaurants, bars and wellness offerings such as spas and golf courses.  Ventures – including the management and development of the Group’s property portfolio, valued at around $2 billion, hotel management solutions, joint venture partnerships, and business customers for media and entertainment technology.  Travel – including the Group’s hotel operations, from luxury to budget accommodation, and Thredbo Alpine Resort for year- round recreation and adventure activities.

Key risks and opportunities Safety Potential impact How we are responding is subject to Safety and wellbeing remain the Group’s highest inherent priority. The Group operational risks that could potentially result in serious injury or fatality of employees, contractors or members of including an earthquake, bushfire or extreme weather event, a terrorist incident, a fire at one of the Group’s locations, a food poisoning outbreak, an avalanche or landslide, and a lift incident or failure. the public, Pandemics As COVID-19 has demonstrated, a pandemic, epidemic or flu outbreak has the potential to the Group’s operations, materially including due to government mandated closures or domestic or international travel restrictions. impact People A failure to attract, develop and retain high performing individuals could adversely impact the Group’s ability to achieve its strategic objectives, including due to the loss of key staff and labour shortages in key roles. In addition, the Group operates in industries that have an elevated risk of the underpayment of staff, including the hospitality industry. Capital Management Maintaining an appropriate capital structure, and consideration of hedging exposures strategies, compliance with banking covenants will enable the Group to achieve its future strategic objectives, including the planned major property developments. and 18 EVENT Hospitality & Entertainment Limited – 2022 Annual Report The Group’s highest priority is the safety of all those impacted by its operations, including the Group’s employees, guests, contractors, and the communities in which it operates. The Group has implemented a comprehensive and robust safety management system which was independently reviewed in the year ended 30 June 2020, and an update of this review is currently in progress. The Group monitors and reports on safety metrics which measure work-related injuries and lost time, with regular reporting to the Board. In response to COVID-19, detailed COVID-19 safety plans and staff training programs were developed for, and implemented by, each of the Group’s operating divisions. In addition, to ensure these plans were consistent with best practice in Australia, advice was also sought from infectious implemented a diseases experts. The Group comprehensive internal and external audit process to ensure that each location complied with the relevant COVID-19 safety plans. The operational and financial impacts of COVID-19 were partially mitigated by the development of new, more flexible operating models, delivering cost savings during periods of forced closure or restricted trading. It is anticipated that similar strategies may be adopted in response to a future pandemic, if required. The Group considers that its ability to attract, develop and retain high-performing individuals is a competitive advantage and key to achievement of its strategic objectives. The Group regularly monitors and measures employee engagement through internal surveys. The Group has also undertaken talent management and succession planning processes to identify high potential employees and prepare successors for senior executive positions. The Group has implemented a comprehensive and robust system to manage compliance with employment including modern awards and enterprise bargaining agreements, and this system is subject to periodic external reviews. law, The Group has implemented detailed treasury policies and procedures to manage and monitor compliance with banking covenants and hedging policies approved by the Board. Key risks and opportunities Property Values D I R E C T O R S ’ R E P O R T Potential impact How we are responding The Group’s property portfolio has a fair value at 30 June 2022 of approximately $2.0 billion. Whilst the majority of the portfolio remains core to the Group’s operations, a decline in property values may negatively impact market perception of the Group’s value and share price. The Group has recently completed a successful divestment of non-core properties, realising proceeds to date of $275.3 million, representing a premium of 28% over the most recent valuations of the properties sold. Substantially all the remaining Group properties remain core to the the Group’s Group’s operations, exposure in property valuations. reducing to cyclical changes The Group maintains a comprehensive insurance program including in respect of property damage and business interruption. Independent insurance valuations are obtained periodically to ensure that declared insurance values remain appropriate. Due to the exposure of certain Group properties to an elevated risk of earthquake or flood, increased deductibles or reduced policy limits may apply for certain categories of events at certain locations. The Group has limited ability to mitigate exposure to its reliance on global film release dates and cinema release windows, other than through programming of local and alternative content which may be expected to result in generally lower admission levels when compared with blockbuster Hollywood film content. The Group maintains proactive and constructive relationships with its key partners, and where appropriate seeks to develop relationships with other potential partners to assist in mitigating the impact of a future breakdown in relations with existing partners. Property Resilience The Group is subject to inherent operational risks that could potentially result in damage or loss of one or more of the Group’s properties, including because of earthquake, bushfire or extreme weather event, a terrorist incident, a fire at one of the Group’s locations. Interruption to Film Product Supply and a Shortening of the Cinema Release Window Customers, Partners and Competitors The Group’s Entertainment division is reliant on a high-quality global film release schedule, which may be disrupted including due to a pandemic, a deterioration in international relations and war, geo-economic breakdown or collapse, or a change in strategy by one or more of the major film production studios. In addition, a shortening of the cinema release window could reduce the appeal of cinema for customers. Increasing The Group operates in highly competitive markets, and customers have alternatives to the Group’s entertainment and travel products and services. intensity of competitor activity could affect the Group’s market share. The Group also maintains key strategic relationships with partners including joint venture partners and hotel owners, and a deterioration in relations with those partners may negatively impact on the Group’s ability to meet its strategic objectives. Supply Chain The Group is reliant on a broad range of suppliers providing a diverse range of goods and services. An interruption to supply of key products may negatively impact on the Group’s operations or program of property developments, upgrades, and refurbishments. The Group’s supply chain may also include risks associated with modern slavery or environmental sustainability. The Group maintains proactive and constructive relationships with key suppliers. The Group identifies key supplier risk and where appropriate develops contingency plans and alternative suppliers for key products and services.

Protecting the environment is important to the Group, its people, customers, partners, and the communities in which it operates. Climate change presents risks and opportunities that may have a material impact on the Group in the future. To address these risks and opportunities, the Group has developed a framework of focus areas and goals for FY23 and has begun to respond to the TCFD framework, details of which are set out below. Focus areas and goals for FY23 The Group’s environmental sustainability focus areas include:    sustainable practices and procurement; sustainable design; and transparency and reporting. 20 EVENT Hospitality & Entertainment Limited – 2022 Annual Report D I R E C T O R S ’ R E P O R T A summary of the goals developed for the year ending 30 June 2023 for each of these focus areas is set out in the table below: Focus area Goal Goal description Purpose Level of performance Sustainable practices and procurement Sustainable design Transparency and reporting Supporting our focus areas 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 Reduce the environmental impact of packaging across the Group and manage waste in a sustainable way Reduce energy and natural resource consumption and purchase renewable electricity Reduce impact Improve on current state Reduce impact Improve on current state Obtain National Australian Built Environment Rating System (“NABERS”) ratings for owned property Align with standard Benchmarked Consider and target sustainable design outcomes including appropriate certifications for capital expenditure projects Respond to climate-related risks and opportunities with TCFD reporting Raise awareness for environmental protection initiatives to support our customers and team members Strengthen the implementation of our goals through integrated and collaborative partnerships Align with standard Benchmarked Align with standard Benchmarked Actively improve Improve on current state Actively improve Improve on current state An update regarding the Group’s response to climate-related risks and opportunities and the TCFD reporting framework has been provided below. A further update regarding the Group’s progress with achieving the goals set out above will be provided in the 2023 Annual Report. Transparency and reporting – carbon emissions Set out below is a summary of the Group’s Scope 1 and 2 carbon emissions (tCO2e) for the financial year ended 30 June 2022. The carbon emission data has been compiled based on information provided by the Group’s energy retailers and other relevant source data and the location-based data has been independently verified. In some cases, careful estimates have been used for certain locations and periods where source data could not be obtained prior to the finalisation of the Directors’ Report.

New Zealand carbon emission data has been compiled using the New Zealand Ministry for Environment Guidance for Voluntary Greenhouse Gas Reporting framework. German carbon emission data has been compiled using emission factors obtained from the International Energy Agency. A market-based approach has only been applied to Thredbo’s Scope 2 emissions. The Group has yet to consider or quantify its indirect Scope 3 carbon emissions. The Group intends to undertake an assessment of the boundaries for its Scope 3 carbon emissions during FY23. The chart below illustrates the Group’s total Scope 1 and location-based Scope 2 carbon emissions over the past four years: s n o i s s i m E e - ₂ O C t l a t o T l a u n n A 180,000 160,000 140,000 120,000 100,000 80,000 60,000 40,000 20,000 0 FY19 FY20 FY21 FY22 Scope 1 Scope 2 It is important to note that the Group’s carbon emissions have reduced in the years ended 30 June 2020, 30 June 2021 and 30 June 2022 in part as a result of the impact of COVID-19 government restrictions and lockdowns that have required the temporary closure of certain locations for certain periods from March 2020. Energy efficiency initiatives, including the replacement of old plant and equipment with new more efficient models, and the purchase of renewable energy through a sleeved power purchase agreement in relation to the Group’s Thredbo operations from 1 July 2019 have further supported a reduction in the Group’s net Scope 1 and market-based Scope 2 carbon emissions for the years ended 30 June 2020, 30 June 2021 and 30 June 2022. Transparency and reporting – climate change risk management The Group accepts climate science and recognises that climate change is influencing both short term weather events and longer term climatic trends. Society and economies are also responding to the changing climate, translating into policy and investment 22 EVENT Hospitality & Entertainment Limited – 2022 Annual Report D I R E C T O R S ’ R E P O R T decisions as well as shifts in consumer behaviours. It is expected that these climate transition responses will continue to occur in the medium and long-term. Climate-related risks could be both physical and transitional. Physical risks to the business could include severe weather events and long term changes in regional climatic conditions. Transitional risks include those arising from shifts in policy, regulation, technology or public perception of the Group’s business due to climate change. The Group monitors and manages climate change risk through its established governance and review processes with oversight from the Board, and Audit and Risk Committee, and the Group’s response to climate change risk is led by the CEO with support from the Senior Leadership Team. Within this context, the Board, CEO and Senior Leadership Team have committed to achieving full alignment with the TCFD recommendations targeted for FY24. In responding to the recommendations, the Group is seeking to enable shareholders to have a clear understanding of the material climate risks and opportunities identified, how the business will manage the risks and opportunities of climate change while providing confidence that the Group can continue to prosper over the long-term. In the past year, the Group has undertaken climate-related scenario analysis for two distinct scenarios: a “Fast Action” scenario where warming is limited to below 2oC above pre-industrial levels; and  a “Current Policy” scenario where warming exceeds 3oC above pre-industrial levels.  Key characteristics of the scenarios considered are summarised in the table below: Fast Action(a) Temperature outcome: <2oC warming by 2100 Current Policy(b) Temperature outcome: >3oC warming by 2100 Fast curtailment of emissions from now • • High carbon price (>$100/t) and strict and coordinated • emissions reduction policy Rapid decline in fossil fuel use and transition to renewable energy • Fast transition of social norms towards green economy • Mobilisation of private and public investment into decarbonisation technology • High levels of investment in abatement technology • Worst physical impacts avoided; however, some physical impacts still present • No additional climate policy action, or reversal of • • • current policy Physical impacts are severe, with regular impacts to built environments and flow-on economic damage Fossil fuel consumption continues to grow out to 2050 in abatement technology, with Little investment research and adaptation being development focus of the • Most Australian capital cities will be hotter and drier, • with significant increases in heat waves Economic decline hits developing world hardest; however, developed economies also significantly impacted (a) The Fast Action scenario aligns with the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change’s Representative Concentration Pathway (“RCP”) 1.9 (low warming) and Shared Socioeconomic Pathway (“SSP”) 1 (taking the green road). (b) The Current Policy scenario aligns with RCP 8.5 (high warming) and SSP 5 (taking the highway). Material risks and opportunities – key themes The scenario analysis and identification of climate-related risks and opportunities for the Group has identified three key themes related to the management of material risks and opportunities: 23 EVENT Hospitality & Entertainment Limited – 2022 Annual Report D I R E C T O R S ’ R E P O R T Property Resilience Potential impact The Group’s business relies on resilient physical infrastructure. This resilience will be critical to business continuity across both the Fast Action and Current Policy scenarios, from managing the impact of harsher and more frequent severe weather events to enhancing the efficiency of property under a carbon constrained scenario. Thredbo As previously identified and disclosed, Thredbo Alpine Resort’s winter operations have a particular exposure to physical climate impacts on snowfall and temperatures, potentially limiting periods during which snowmaking can operate. Supply Chain The nature of the Group’s operating businesses means that a diverse supply chain is required. Under both climate scenarios, supply chains will experience a risks and present opportunities, particularly with regard to the availability of key products, and the cost of those products in the future. range of How we are responding Consideration for physical impacts on the future development of owned sites can mitigate exposure to site damage or business interruption. Additionally, providing spaces which customers can utilise during periods of harsher weather can enhance both the user experience of the Group’s spaces and the revenue generated in different businesses. The Group’s continued approach to procuring renewable energy and identifying energy efficiency opportunities will mitigate exposures to transition risks. in Advancements technology may support Thredbo to improve snowmaking capabilities, long term subject to water availability, and climate projections are considered as part of Thredbo’s future operating strategy. In this context, it is important to note that demand for visitation and activities in the summer months has grown in recent years, and there is potential for demand to increase further due to Thredbo’s comparatively cooler climate. The Group remains resilient to supply shocks across many of its businesses, and its ability to forward plan has mitigated recent supply chain risks and will be expected to support resilience from physical risk shocks under future climate scenarios. Increased climate impacts to food and beverage products are also actively managed by the Group through menu diversity and our expanding network of local producers. Summary of other climate-related risks and opportunities Supporting these themes are seven climate-related risks and five climate-related opportunities which will have varied impacts on the Group’s business, as set out in the table below. Whilst not currently material to the Group, management of the below risks is critical to mitigating the potential future impact of these risks. Similarly, whilst the opportunities presented below are not currently material individually, proactive management of the opportunities in aggregate may represent a material climate-related opportunity for the Group.

Next steps The Group will continue to respond to the TCFD recommendations and work towards full alignment with those recommendations. This will include further work to quantify the potential impact of material risks identified, an assessment and, if required, enhancement of governance and risk management activities associated with those risks, target setting and the development of climate-related key performance indicators, and further disclosures in the Group’s periodic reporting regarding its response to the TCFD recommendations. COMMUNITY AND SOCIAL IMPACT Modern slavery The Group is exposed to modern slavery risks through its operations and supply chain. The Group’s approach to the management of modern slavery risks is underpinned by its purpose: to make the day better for ourselves, our customers, our team and our community. The Group recognises that the decisions it makes and how it chooses to provide experiences to customers can impact the livelihood of people and the communities in which it operates, and appreciates that it has a responsibility and opportunity to help eliminate modern slavery through its actions and by working with its suppliers. The Group published its first Modern Slavery Statement for the year ended 30 June 2020 in March 2021 and published its second Modern Slavery Statement for the year ended 30 June 2021 in December 2021. The Modern Slavery Statements are available at www.evt.com/investors and contain further information regarding the Group’s management of modern slavery risks. Reconciliation Action Plan The Group has commenced the process of developing a “Reflect” Reconciliation Action Plan (“RAP”) and expects to finalise the Reflect RAP during FY23. DIVERSITY The Board is committed to an inclusive workplace that embraces and promotes diversity, including Indigenous and disability employment, equal opportunity and women in management. The Group’s Diversity Policy formalises the Group’s commitment to diversity and seeks to promote an inclusive culture where people are encouraged to succeed to the best of their ability. Progress in respect of the measurable objectives for the Group is reviewed on an annual basis by the Nomination and Remuneration Committee. The Nomination and Remuneration Committee receives reports on the Group’s diversity related initiatives from management at least annually and facilitates periodic reporting to the Board. The Group has adopted the following initiatives to progress the objectives of its policy:  reporting on the gender diversity within the Group to the Board; 26 EVENT Hospitality & Entertainment Limited – 2022 Annual Report D I R E C T O R S ’ R E P O R T   aiming to maintain an appropriate percentage of women on the Board and specifically to have a minimum of 30% women, 30% men and 40% unallocated to allow flexibility for Board renewal; and aiming to increase the percentage of women in senior management positions as vacancies arise, subject to identification of candidates with appropriate skills. The Board considers progress in relation to the above measurable objectives at least annually and the last review was performed in May 2022. Performance was assessed as follows: Reporting on the gender diversity within the Group to the Board Reporting on the gender diversity within the Group is provided to the Nomination and Remuneration Committee in May each year, following which the Chairman of the Nomination and Remuneration Committee provides an update to the Board. The Board also reviews the information disclosed below prior to the Board’s approval of the Corporate Governance Statement in August each year. Aiming to maintain an appropriate percentage of women on the Board The percentage of female directors is currently 43%, which is consistent with the Group’s objective to have a minimum of 30% women, 30% men and 40% unallocated to allow flexibility for Board renewal. The Board considers that the gender composition of the Board is appropriate. Aiming to increase the percentage of women in senior management positions as vacancies arise, subject to identification of candidates with appropriate skills The Group has a female CEO, the percentage of women holding senior executive positions has increased in the year ended 30 June 2022, and further initiatives are in development to support increases in future years. The Board is satisfied with progress made in relation to the increase of the percentage of women in senior management positions and will continue to monitor progress in relation to this measurable objective. The policy is available from www.evt.com/investors or upon request from the Company Secretary. Gender representation profile The gender representation profile for the Board, senior executives, and all employees of the Group is as follows: Board Senior executives All Group employees 30 June 2022 30 June 2021 Female Male Female Male 43% 38% 51% 57% 62% 49% 43% 37% 50% 57% 63% 50% For the purpose of preparing the above information, senior executives are defined as including direct reports to the CEO and direct reports to those direct reports to the CEO.

WORK HEALTH AND SAFETY (“WHS”) The Group’s highest priority is the safety of all those impacted by its operations, including the Group’s employees, guests, contractors, and the communities in which the Group operates. The Group’s Head of Safety is responsible for WHS risk management activities across the Group, supported by divisional managers with WHS responsibilities. The Head of Safety reports to the Company Secretary. In the year ended 30 June 2020, the Head of Safety completed a comprehensive analysis of the Group’s WHS management system in comparison with market practice, which was subject to review by an appropriately qualified independent WHS expert. An update of the 2020 review will be completed later in the 2022 calendar year. All workplace injuries and other incidents are reported in the Group’s incident reporting system and analysed and where appropriate investigated by the Head of Safety. The Head of Safety, with support from divisional management, develops and, where necessary, improves and implements strategies to reduce the occurrence of avoidable workplace injuries. A summary of incidents together with details of any material incidents are provided to the Board at each Board meeting. 27 EVENT Hospitality & Entertainment Limited – 2022 Annual Report D I R E C T O R S ’ R E P O R T In response to COVID-19, detailed COVID-19 safety plans and staff training programs were developed for, and implemented by, each of the Group’s operating divisions. In addition, to ensure these plans were consistent with best practice in Australia, advice was also sought from infectious diseases experts. The Group implemented a comprehensive internal and external audit process to ensure that each location complies with the relevant COVID-19 safety plans. DIVIDENDS To assist the Group’s liquidity during the COVID-19 recovery period, no dividend has been declared in respect of the year ended 30 June 2022.

The indemnity also extends to such other officers or former officers, including executive officers or former executive officers, of the Company and of any related body corporate of the Company as the directors of the Company determine. In terms of the indemnity, the Company will indemnify the directors and other officers of the Company acting as such, to the full extent permitted by law, against any liability to another person (other than the Company or a related body corporate) incurred in acting as a director or officer of the Company, unless the liability arises out of conduct involving a lack of good faith. The indemnity includes any liability for costs and expenses incurred by such person in defending any proceedings, whether civil or criminal, in which judgement is given in that person’s favour, or in which the person is acquitted and in making an application in relation to any proceedings in which the court grants relief to the person under the law.

AUDITOR INDEPENDENCE The lead auditor’s independence declaration is set out on page 41 and forms part of the Directors’ Report for the year ended 30 June 2022. NON-AUDIT SERVICES PROVIDED BY KPMG During the year, KPMG, the Group’s auditor, performed certain other services in addition to their statutory duties. The Board has considered the non-audit services provided during the year by the auditor and in accordance with written advice provided by resolution of the Audit and Risk Committee is satisfied that the provision of those non-audit services during the year by the auditor is compatible with, and did not compromise, the auditor independence requirements of the Corporations Act 2001 for the following reasons:   all non-audit services were subject to the corporate governance procedures adopted by the Group and have been reviewed by the Audit and Risk Committee to ensure they do not impact the integrity and objectivity of the auditor; and the non-audit services provided do not undermine the general principles relating to auditor independence as set out in APES 110 Code of Ethics for Professional Accountants, as they did not involve reviewing or auditing the auditor’s own work, acting in a management or decision-making capacity for the Group, acting as an advocate for the Group or jointly sharing risks and rewards. A copy of the auditors’ independence declaration as required under section 307C of the Corporations Act 2001 has been included in this Directors’ Report. Details of the amounts paid to the auditor of the Group, KPMG, and its related practices for audit and non-audit services provided during the year are set out in Note 7.3 to the financial statements.

In accordance with that Instrument, amounts in the Directors’ Report and financial report have been rounded off to the nearest thousand dollars, unless otherwise stated. Signed in accordance with a resolution of the directors: AG Rydge Director JM Hastings Director Dated at Sydney this 22nd day of August 2022 29 EVENT Hospitality & Entertainment Limited – 2022 Annual Report D I R E C T O R S ’ R E P O R T REMUNERATION REPORT – AUDITED This report outlines the remuneration arrangements in place for the Group’s key management personnel (“KMP”) as defined in AASB 124 Related Party Disclosures including non-executive directors, the CEO (who is also an executive director), and other senior executives who have authority for planning, directing and controlling the activities of the Group. The KMP for the financial year are set out on page 35. Remuneration philosophy The Nomination and Remuneration Committee is responsible for making recommendations to the Board on remuneration policy and packages applicable to the Board members and senior executives. The objective of the remuneration policy is to ensure the remuneration package properly reflects the person’s duties and responsibilities, and that remuneration is competitive in attracting, motivating and retaining appropriately qualified and experienced people. Remuneration levels are competitively set to attract appropriately qualified and experienced directors and executives. The Nomination and Remuneration Committee obtains independent information about remuneration, including benchmarking surveys and industry data. The remuneration packages of the CEO and other senior executives include at-risk components that are linked to the overall financial and operational performance of the Group and based on the achievement of specific goals of the Group. Executives participate in the Group’s Executive Performance Rights Plan. Realisation of the longer term benefits of the Executive Performance Rights Plan is conditional upon achievement of certain performance criteria, details of which are outlined below. Further details in relation to the Group’s share plans are provided in Note 6.1 to the financial statements. Remuneration structure In accordance with best practice corporate governance, the structure of non-executive director remuneration is separate and distinct from senior executive remuneration. Non-executive director remuneration Objective The Group’s remuneration policy for non-executive directors aims to ensure that the Group can attract and retain suitably skilled, experienced and committed individuals to serve on the Board and its committees. Structure The Company’s constitution and the ASX Listing Rules specify that the aggregate remuneration of non-executive directors shall be determined from time to time by a general meeting. The latest determination was at the Annual General Meeting (“AGM”) held on 22 October 2010 when shareholders approved a maximum aggregate remuneration of $1,500,000 per year. Non-executive directors do not receive any performance related remuneration nor are they issued shares or performance rights. The Board undertakes an annual review of directors’ fees and the aggregate director fee pool. The Board considers the fees paid to non-executive directors of comparable companies when undertaking the annual review. Each director receives a fee for being a director of the Company. A committee fee is also paid to a director (other than the Chairman of the Board) for acting as chair or being a member of the Audit and Risk Committee or the Nomination and Remuneration Committee. The payment of the committee fee recognises the additional commitment required by directors who serve on those committees. Other Board committees may be established from time to time to deal with issues associated with the conduct of the Group’s various activities, and directors serving on such committees may receive a fee in recognition of this commitment. With effect from 1 July 2021, an additional fee is paid to the lead independent director in recognition of the additional responsibilities associated with that role. The Board approved non-executive director fees were as follows: Year to 30 June Chairman (inclusive of committee fees) Other non-executive directors Base Lead independent director Audit and Risk Committee Chairman – Audit and Risk Committee Nomination and Remuneration Committee Chairman – Nomination and Remuneration Committee 30 EVENT Hospitality & Entertainment Limited – 2022 Annual Report 2023 $ 2022 $ 194,000 185,000 144,000 14,000 15,000 14,000 8,000 7,000 137,000 14,000 14,000 13,000 7,000 6,000 D I R E C T O R S ’ R E P O R T The remuneration of non-executive directors for the year ended 30 June 2022 is detailed on page 36. Non-executive directors’ fees cover all main Board and committee activities. Non-executive directors are also entitled to be reimbursed for all reasonable business related expenses, including travel, as may be incurred in the discharge of their duties. CEO and other executive remuneration Objective The Group’s remuneration policy aims to reward the CEO and other executives with a level and mix of remuneration commensurate with their position and responsibilities within the Group, and to:  reward executives for Group, applicable business unit and individual performance against targets set by reference to appropriate benchmarks and key performance indicators (“KPIs”); align the interests of executives with those of shareholders; link reward with the strategic goals and performance of the Group; and ensure total remuneration is competitive by market standards.    Structure In determining the level and composition of executive remuneration, the Nomination and Remuneration Committee obtains independent information about remuneration trends in the market, and then makes its own recommendations to the Board. It is the Group’s policy that employment contracts are entered into with the CEO and other senior executives. Details of these employment contracts are provided on pages 34 and 35. Remuneration consists of both fixed and variable remuneration components. The variable remuneration component includes a short term incentive (“STI”) plan and a long term incentive (“LTI”) plan. The proportion of fixed and variable remuneration (potential STI and LTI) is set and approved for each senior executive by the Board based on recommendations provided by the Nomination and Remuneration Committee. Fixed annual remuneration Objective Remuneration levels for executives are reviewed annually to ensure that they are appropriate for the responsibilities, qualifications and experience of each executive and are competitive with the market. The Nomination and Remuneration Committee establishes and issues an appropriate guideline for the purpose of the annual review of fixed remuneration levels. The guideline is based on both current and forecast Consumer Price Index, remuneration trends on the applicable market and general market conditions. There are no guaranteed fixed remuneration increases in any executives’ contracts. Effective from 1 July 2022, the Board has approved a fixed annual remuneration package for the CEO to the value of $1,627,500, comprising base salary, superannuation and, if applicable, any salary sacrificed items. Structure Executives have the option to receive their fixed annual remuneration in cash and certain non-cash benefits that form part of the salary package. Fixed annual remuneration includes superannuation and, if applicable, any salary sacrificed items. Variable remuneration – STI Objective The objective of the STI plan is to link the achievement of key operational targets with the remuneration received by the executives charged with meeting those targets. The total potential STI available is set at a level to provide sufficient incentive to the executive to achieve the operational targets and ensuring that the cost to the Group is reasonable in the circumstances. Structure Executives are set specific STI targets at the beginning of each year, and STI amounts paid to each executive are determined based on the extent to which those targets are met. The targets consist of a number of KPIs covering both financial and non-financial measures of performance. Typically, KPIs and assessment criteria include predetermined Group and divisional earnings targets, and other strategic and operational objectives. A work, health and safety gateway applies to the STI plan and executives will only be eligible for a payment under the plan if the requirements of the gateway have been satisfied. A financial gateway also applies to the STI plan, whereby the Group’s financial position at the time of assessment must be such that, in the Board’s opinion, the delivery of STI awards is prudent and appropriate based on the circumstances at that time. 31 EVENT Hospitality & Entertainment Limited – 2022 Annual Report D I R E C T O R S ’ R E P O R T On an annual basis, an earnings performance rating for the Group and each division is assessed by the Nomination and Remuneration Committee and approved by the Board. The individual performance of each executive is also assessed and rated and the ratings are taken into account when determining the amount, if any, of the STI to be allocated to each executive. This methodology was chosen because it allows for an objectively measurable assessment of the executives’ performance. The aggregate of annual STI payments available for executives across the Group is subject to review by the Nomination and Remuneration Committee and approval by the Board. STI payments are normally delivered as a cash bonus. For the CEO and other executive KMP, the general target bonus opportunity range is from 65% to 115% of fixed annual remuneration. The target bonus range for the CEO and other executive KMP is detailed below for the year ended 30 June 2022: Maximum potential STI calculated on fixed annual remuneration(a) Weighting of KPIs (as a percentage of fixed annual remuneration): Group earnings Segment earnings Special projects Employee engagement CEO JM Hastings(b) Other executive KMP GC Dean MR Duff 115% 55% 65% 75% 25% 27.5% – – 15% 50% 35% 30% 10% 5% 2.5% (a) Fixed annual remuneration is comprised of base salary, superannuation and benefits provided through salary sacrificing arrangements. The maximum possible value of each executive’s STI award for future financial years is estimated by multiplying their maximum STI opportunity by their fixed annual remuneration. If any portion of an executive’s STI is awarded in equity, the maximum value of that portion of the STI is estimated by multiplying the number of equity incentives allocated by the Company’s share price. The minimum possible value of the STI award for future financial years is nil. (b) The targets set for the STI of the CEO relate to the Group’s performance, capital management, the management of current property developments and other business growth targets. The Board considers the specific targets to be commercially sensitive and further details of these targets have not been disclosed. Bonuses may be paid above these levels at the discretion of the Board, if it is assessed that an exceptional contribution has been made by an executive. There is no separate profit-share plan. Variable remuneration – LTI Objective The objectives of the LTI plan are to:    align executive incentives with shareholder interests; balance the short term with the long term Group focus; and retain high calibre executives by providing an attractive equity-based incentive that builds a mindset of ownership of the Group. Structure Executives are awarded performance rights which will only vest on the achievement of certain performance hurdles and service conditions. An offer is generally made under the LTI plan to executives each financial year, based on individual performance as assessed by the annual appraisal process. The Nomination and Remuneration Committee reviews details of executives nominated for participation and then makes a recommendation for final Board approval. In accordance with the ASX Listing Rules, approval from shareholders is obtained before securities are allocated to the CEO under the Executive Performance Rights Plan. The maximum LTI opportunity for the CEO is 100% of fixed annual remuneration, and the maximum LTI opportunity for GC Dean and MR Duff is 50% their fixed annual remuneration. The maximum possible value of each executive’s annual LTI award for future financial years is estimated by multiplying the number of performance rights granted by the Company’s share price at the time that the performance rights vest. The minimum possible value of the LTI award for future financial years is nil. On vesting, for each performance right that vests, one fully paid ordinary share in the Company will be allocated. Performance rights do not carry the full benefits of share ownership (such as the right to vote or to receive dividends) until they have vested and shares have been allocated. No amount is payable for the grant or vesting of performance rights as they form part of executives’ remuneration. As shares are automatically allocated on vesting of performance rights, there is no expiry date. 32 EVENT Hospitality & Entertainment Limited – 2022 Annual Report D I R E C T O R S ’ R E P O R T The performance hurdle for the awards of performance rights to executives in the financial year ended 30 June 2022 is based on EVENT Hospitality & Entertainment Limited’s earnings per share (“EPS”) for the financial year ending 30 June 2024 (“Performance Period”). The performance hurdle for the awards of performance rights to executives in the financial year ended 30 June 2022 is as follows: EPS hurdle The EPS hurdle requires that the Company’s EPS for the Performance Period must be equal to or greater than the target set by the Board. This hurdle is chosen to align executives’ interests with the achievement of strong financial performance by the Company. The hurdle is as follows:   if EPS for the Performance Period is less than the Threshold target, no performance rights will vest; if EPS for the Performance Period is equal to or greater than the Threshold target, but less than the Stretch target, the proportion of performance rights vesting will be increased on a pro-rata basis between 50% and 100%; or if EPS for the Performance Period is equal to or greater than the Stretch target, all of the performance rights will vest.  The Board has set the Threshold target at 25 cents per share and the Stretch target at 50 cents per share. After the Board has assessed the extent to which the above performance hurdle has been achieved in or around August 2024, executives will be allocated ordinary shares equal to the number of vested performance rights that vest. Any performance rights that do not vest lapse immediately. This methodology was chosen because it allows for an objectively measurable assessment of the executives’ performance. The Board has retained the discretion to vary the performance hurdles. For the terms applicable to prior-year LTI grants, please refer to the Remuneration Report in the relevant year of grant. Recognition and Retention Incentives Shareholders approved at the 2020 and 2021 AGMs Recognition and Retention Incentives for the CEO with a face value of $1,550,000 and $775,000 respectively. These awards were designed to recognise the additional effort required from the CEO both during the COVID-19 response period and during the recovery period, and the importance of retaining the CEO during this critical period. For this reason, these awards do not have further vesting conditions beyond the service requirement. GC Dean and MR Duff were granted Retention and Recognition Incentives on similar terms to the CEO’s awards in 2020 with a face value of $530,000 and $600,000, respectively, and in 2021 with a face value of $265,000 and $300,000, respectively. Incentives on similar terms have also been made to other senior executives under the Recognition and Retention Incentive plan. For the Retention and Recognition Incentive awards in 2020, 60% of the grant value vested in full following the release of the results for the year ended 30 June 2021, and was awarded in rights on 20 September 2021. The remainder will vest after the release of the results for the year ended 30 June 2022. Each right issued in satisfaction of the vested portion of the award may be exercised into one fully paid ordinary share in the Company (unless the Board determines to settle the exercise of rights in cash) after the release of the results for the year ending 30 June 2023. Any rights that remain unexercised two years thereafter will expire. For the Retention and Recognition Incentive awards in 2021, 60% of the grant value will vest following the release of the results for the year ended 30 June 2022. The remainder will vest after the release of the results for the year ending 30 June 2023. Each right issued in satisfaction of the vested portion of the award may be exercised into one fully paid ordinary share in the Company (unless the Board determines to settle the exercise of rights in cash) after the release of the results for the year ending 30 June 2024. Any rights that remain unexercised two years thereafter will expire. Rights issued pursuant to the Recognition and Retention Incentives carry no entitlement to voting or to receive dividends or distributions until shares are acquired on exercise of vested Rights. However, vested Rights will have an entitlement to dividend equivalents paid in cash at the same time the Company pays any cash dividends or distributions for shareholders during the period commencing from the relevant vesting date until the vested Rights are exercised. If any portion of an executive’s Recognition and Retention Incentive is awarded in equity, the maximum value of that portion of the award is estimated by multiplying the number of equity incentives allocated by the Company’s share price. The minimum possible value of the award for future financial years is nil. No amount is payable for the grant or vesting or exercise of rights as they form part of executives’ remuneration. These awards have been accounted for as cash-settled share-based payments. 33 EVENT Hospitality & Entertainment Limited – 2022 Annual Report Remuneration outcome for the year ended 30 June 2022 D I R E C T O R S ’ R E P O R T Impact of COVID-19 on remuneration arrangements As indicated in the Company’s previous Remuneration Report, adjustments were made to director and executive remuneration from 1 April 2020 in response to the impact of COVID-19. These included significant reductions to the fees and remuneration outcomes for non-executive directors, the CEO and senior executives. Whilst those temporary and voluntary remuneration adjustments concluded on 30 June 2021, the Chairman volunteered to reduce his fee for the year ended 30 June 2022 by $150,000 to $185,000. STI outcomes for FY22 During the year ended 30 June 2022, no awards were paid under the STI plan to KMP in respect of the year ended 30 June 2021, notwithstanding the achievement of certain individual KPIs by KMP. This was in recognition of the ongoing impact of COVID-19 on the Group’s performance and on shareholder returns. Awards were made to certain other executives under the STI plan in respect of the year ended 30 June 2021. LTI outcome In November 2021, the FY19 LTI award under the Company’s Executive Performance Rights Plan was tested. As the relevant performance conditions were not met, 100% of the award was forfeited.

Employment contracts for the CEO and other executive KMP A summary of the key terms of JM Hastings’ employment contract is set out in the table below: Contract term Ongoing with no fixed term. Termination Either party may terminate the agreement at any time by giving six months’ notice. The Group may, at its discretion, make a payment in lieu of all or part of the notice period based on Ms Hastings’ fixed annual remuneration at the time of the notice of termination. Ms Hastings may terminate immediately if there is a fundamental change in her responsibilities or authority without her consent. In that case, Ms Hastings is entitled to a payment equivalent to six months’ fixed remuneration. The Group may terminate the agreement immediately in circumstances of misconduct, or if Ms Hastings breaches any material term of the agreement, in which case there is no payment in lieu of notice. Restraint The agreement contains non-solicitation and other restraints that apply for a restriction period of up to 12 months. Ms Hastings may receive a restraint payment for some or all of the restriction period, calculated based on her fixed annual remuneration at the termination date. The CEO’s contract provides for an annual review of the CEO’s fixed annual remuneration and maximum incentive opportunities. Employment contracts typically outline the components of remuneration paid to the CEO and other senior executives but do not prescribe how remuneration levels are to be modified from year to year. Generally, remuneration levels are reviewed each year to take into account Consumer Price Index changes, remuneration trends in the market, any change in the scope of the role performed by the executive and any changes required to meet the principles of the remuneration policy. 34 EVENT Hospitality & Entertainment Limited – 2022 Annual Report D I R E C T O R S ’ R E P O R T The key terms of the employment contracts with other executive KMP are summarised in the table below: Executive GC Dean MR Duff Termination by the executive The notice period is three months. Termination by the Group Expiry date of contract The notice period is three months. The Group may make a payment in lieu of notice, equal to the notice period. Not applicable, rolling contracts. The Group retains the right to terminate the contract immediately in circumstances of misconduct. There are no other termination payments. Payment of any LTI (or pro-rata thereof) is subject to the rules in operation at the termination date and at the discretion of the Board.

The consolidated financial report of the Company as at and for the year ended 30 June 2022 comprises the Company and its subsidiaries (collectively referred to as the “Group”) and the Group’s interest in associates, joint ventures and joint operations. EVENT Hospitality & Entertainment Limited is a for-profit company incorporated in Australia and limited by shares. The shares are publicly traded on the ASX. The nature of the operations and principal activities of the Group are described in Note 2.2. The financial report was authorised for issue by the Board of Directors of EVENT Hospitality & Entertainment Limited on 22 August 2022. 1.2 – BASIS OF PREPARATION Statement of compliance The financial report is a general purpose financial report which has been prepared in accordance with Australian Accounting Standards (“AASBs”) (including Australian Accounting Interpretations) adopted by the Australian Accounting Standards Board and the Corporations Act 2001. The financial report also complies with International Financial Reporting Standards and interpretations adopted by the International Accounting Standards Board. Basis of measurement The financial report is prepared on the historical cost basis except for the following material items in the Statement of Financial Position which are measured at fair value: derivative financial instruments, investments designated as at fair value through other comprehensive income (“FVOCI”), liabilities for cash-settled share-based payments and investment properties. Assets held for sale are stated at the lower of carrying amount, and fair value less costs to sell. The Company is of a kind referred to in ASIC Corporations (Rounding in Financial/Directors’ Reports) Instrument 2016/191 and in accordance with the Instrument, amounts in the financial report and Directors’ Report have been rounded off to the nearest thousand dollars, unless otherwise stated. Use of estimates and judgements The preparation of a financial report in conformity with AASBs requires management to make judgements, estimates and assumptions that affect the application of accounting policies and reported amounts of assets, liabilities, income and expenses. The estimates and associated assumptions are based on historical experience and various other factors that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis of making the judgements about carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates. The estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognised in the period in which the estimate is revised and in any future periods if affected. Judgements made by management in the application of AASBs that have a significant effect on the financial report are discussed in Notes 3.3 (Property, plant and equipment) and 3.6 (Goodwill and other intangible assets). Key estimates and judgements Key estimates and judgements used in these financial statements, include: • • • impairment (see Note 2.3, 3.3 and 3.6); lease terms (see Note 3.9); and valuations of property, plant and equipment (see Note 3.3). 47 EVENT Hospitality & Entertainment Limited – 2022 Annual Report N O T E S T O T H E F I N A N C I A L S T A T E M E N T S F O R T H E Y E A R E N D E D 3 0 J U N E 2 0 2 2 S E C T I O N 1 – B A S I S O F P R E P E R A T I O N 1.2 – BASIS OF PREPARATION (continued) Measurement of fair values A number of the Group’s accounting policies and disclosures require the measurement of fair values, for both financial and non-financial assets and liabilities. When measuring the fair value of an asset or a liability, the Group uses market observable data as far as possible. Fair values are categorised into different levels in a fair value hierarchy based on the inputs used in the valuation techniques as follows:    Level 1: quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities; Level 2: inputs other than quoted prices included in Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly (i.e. as prices) or indirectly (i.e. derived from prices); and Level 3: inputs for the asset or liability that are not based on observable market data (unobservable inputs). If the inputs used to measure the fair value of an asset or a liability might be categorised in different levels of the fair value hierarchy, then the fair value measurement is categorised in its entirety in the same level of the fair value hierarchy as the lowest level input that is significant to the entire measurement. The Group recognises transfers between levels of the fair value hierarchy at the end of the reporting period during which the change has occurred. Further information about the assumptions made in measuring fair values is included in Notes 3.3 (Property, plant and equipment), 3.4 (Investment properties), 3.5 (Assets held for sale) and 4.5 (Financial risk management). Global coronavirus pandemic (“COVID-19”) In March 2020, the World Health Organization declared a global pandemic in relation to COVID-19. Within the geographic locations where the Group has operations, governments responded to COVID-19 by introducing a number of COVID-19 measures, including restrictions on business activity, societal interaction and travel. The effects of these measures on the Group has been significant and, as a result, COVID-19 has resulted in impacts to key estimates and judgements used in these (and previous) financial statements, including: impairment (see Note 2.3, 3.3 and 3.6); • • provision for expected credit losses (see Note 3.1); and • valuations of property, plant and equipment (see Note 3.3). Going concern basis of accounting COVID-19 has had, and in some areas continues to have, a material impact on the Group’s operational divisions. The Group has incurred significant and material reductions in revenue and to maintain an appropriate level of current and future liquidity has implemented certain initiatives to ensure the viability of the Group for the current and longer term. The actions have included:    implementation of operational and corporate cost saving initiatives to ensure that the impact of COVID-19 on earnings was appropriately minimised and managed; participation in government support initiatives; and suspension of dividend payments. Future dividend payments will be subject to Board consideration and approval having regard to all relevant circumstances including lender gearing requirements and the Group’s trading performance. In addition, the Group has reported a net current asset deficiency of $168.1 million. This deficiency is predominately a consequence of the recognition of current lease liabilities (under AASB 16 Leases) totalling $126.9 million. Current lease and other liabilities are expected to be supported by future operating cash flows and available liquidity from undrawn debt facilities of $284.5 million at 30 June 2022. From a financial and liquidity perspective, and in the context of the COVID-19 environment highlighted above, budget modelling based on a conservative recovery scenario was undertaken across all of the Group’s businesses. The budget modelling anticipates outcomes based upon current known circumstances and recent, as well as past, COVID-19 business performance. The budget modelling, which is based upon currently available information, assumes that there are no future material or significant government mandated mass closures of operations beyond that which have occurred. The Group’s budget modelling included a limited number of asset sales. 48 EVENT Hospitality & Entertainment Limited – 2022 Annual Report N O T E S T O T H E F I N A N C I A L S T A T E M E N T S F O R T H E Y E A R E N D E D 3 0 J U N E 2 0 2 2 S E C T I O N 1 – B A S I S O F P R E P E R A T I O N 1.2 – BASIS OF PREPARATION (continued) Whilst there continues to be uncertainty regarding the future COVID-19 impacts, the budget modelling was adopted by the Group as the current and most likely scenario. Budget modelling is subject to certain risks and uncertainties which may cause results to differ materially from those expected including, but not limited to, the following:  the availability, in terms of both quantity and audience appeal, of the film line-up, as well as other industry dynamics such as the maintenance of a suitable and viable exhibition window; the effects of any future adverse economic conditions caused by COVID-19 (or other similar pandemic events); the effects on occupancy and room rates of the relative industry supply of available rooms at comparable hotels in the market once hotels and resorts fully reopened; the effects of weather, particularly for Thredbo with winter conditions and the availability of snow; and the ability of partners (both from a supply and operational perspective) to continue to operate for the current foreseeable future.     The Group considers that the current outlook provides sufficient liquidity for the foreseeable future. In relation to the Group’s debt arrangements, the Group anticipates it will be able to comply with covenant requirements at future testing dates. On this basis, the financial report has been prepared on a going concern basis. 1.3 – FOREIGN CURRENCY Functional and presentation currency All amounts are expressed in Australian dollars, which is the Group’s presentation currency. Items included in the financial statements of each of the Group’s entities are measured using the currency of the primary economic environment in which the entity operates (“functional currency”). The functional currency of the Company is Australian dollars. Foreign currency transactions Transactions in foreign currencies are translated at the foreign exchange rate ruling at the date of the transaction. Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies at the year end date are translated to Australian dollars at the foreign exchange rate ruling at that date. Foreign exchange differences arising on translation are recognised in profit or loss, except for differences arising on retranslation of a financial liability designated as a hedge of the net investment in a foreign operation that is effective, which are recognised in other comprehensive income. Non-monetary assets and liabilities that are measured in terms of historical cost in a foreign currency are translated using the exchange rate at the dates of the transactions. Non- monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies that are stated at fair value are translated to Australian dollars at foreign exchange rates ruling at the dates the fair value was determined. Financial statements of foreign operations The assets and liabilities of foreign operations, including goodwill and fair value adjustments arising on acquisition, are translated to Australian dollars at foreign exchange rates ruling at the reporting date. The income and expenses of foreign operations are translated to Australian dollars at rates approximating the foreign exchange rates ruling at the dates of the transactions. Foreign exchange differences arising on retranslation are recognised in other comprehensive income, and presented in the foreign currency translation reserve in equity. When a foreign operation is disposed of in its entirety or partially such that control, significant influence or joint control is lost, the cumulative amount in the foreign currency translation reserve related to that foreign operation is reclassified to profit or loss as part of the gain or loss on disposal. If the Group disposes of part of its interest in a subsidiary but retains control, then the relevant proportion of the cumulative amount is reattributed to non-controlling interests. When the Group disposes of only part of an associate or joint venture whilst retaining significant influence or joint control, the relevant proportion of the cumulative amount is reclassified to profit or loss. 49 EVENT Hospitality & Entertainment Limited – 2022 Annual Report N O T E S T O T H E F I N A N C I A L S T A T E M E N T S F O R T H E Y E A R E N D E D 3 0 J U N E 2 0 2 2 S E C T I O N 1 – B A S I S O F P R E P E R A T I O N 1.3 – FOREIGN CURRENCY (continued) Net investment in foreign operations Exchange differences arising from the translation of the net investment in foreign operations, and the effective portion of related hedges, are taken to the foreign currency translation reserve. They are released to profit or loss as an adjustment to profit or loss on disposal. Foreign exchange gains and losses arising from a monetary item receivable from or payable to a foreign operation, the settlement of which is neither planned nor likely in the foreseeable future, are considered to form part of a net investment in a foreign operation and are recognised directly in other comprehensive income and presented in the foreign currency translation reserve in equity. 1.4 – NEW AND AMENDED ACCOUNTING STANDARDS ADOPTED BY THE GROUP The Group has adopted all of the new and revised Standards and Interpretations issued by the Australian Accounting Standards Board (“Standards Board”) that are relevant to its operations and were effective for the year ended 30 June 2022. New and revised Standards, amendments thereof, and Interpretations effective for the current year that are relevant to the Group are: Impact of the initial application of Covid-19-Related Rent Concessions beyond 30 June 2021—Amendment to IFRS 16 In the prior year, the Group adopted Covid-19-Related Rent Concessions (Amendment to IFRS 16) that provided practical relief to lessees in accounting for rent concessions occurring as a direct consequence of COVID-19, by introducing a practical expedient to IFRS 16. This practical expedient was available to rent concessions for which any reduction in lease payments affected payments originally due on or before 30 June 2021. In March 2021, the Standards Board issued Covid-19-Related Rent Concessions beyond 30 June 2021 (Amendment to IFRS 16) that extends the practical expedient to apply to reduction in lease payments originally due on or before 30 June 2022. In the current financial year, the Group has applied the amendment to IFRS 16 (as issued by the Standards Board in May 2021). The practical expedient permits a lessee to elect not to assess whether a COVID-19-related rent concession is a lease modification. A lessee that makes this election shall account for any change in lease payments resulting from the COVID-19-related rent concession applying IFRS 16 as if the change were not a lease modification. The practical expedient applies only to rent concessions occurring as a direct consequence of COVID-19 and only if all of the following conditions are met: • the change in lease payments results in revised consideration for the lease that is substantially the same as, or less than, the consideration for the lease immediately preceding the change; any reduction in lease payments affects only payments originally due on or before 30 June 2022 (a rent concession meets this condition if it results in reduced lease payments on or before 30 June 2022 and increased lease payments that extend beyond 30 June 2022); and there is no substantive change to other terms and conditions of the lease. • • The Group has applied the practical expedient to all rent concessions that meet the conditions in paragraph 46B in AASB 16 Leases. The Group has benefited from abatement of lease payments relating to cinema and hotel premises during the year. The abatement of lease payments has been accounted for as a negative variable lease payment in profit or loss. The Group has derecognised the part of the lease liability that has been extinguished by the forgiveness of lease payments, consistent with the requirements of paragraph 3.3.1 of AASB 9 Financial Instruments. AASB 2019-3 Amendments to Australian Accounting Standards – Interest Rate Benchmark Reform The amendments in AASB 2019-3 modify specific hedge accounting requirements to allow hedge accounting to continue for affected hedges during the period of uncertainty before the hedged items or hedging instruments affected by the current interest rate benchmarks are amended as a result of the ongoing interest rate benchmark reforms.

REPORTING Accounting policy An operating segment is a component of the Group that engages in business activities from which it earns revenues and incurs expenses, including revenues and expenses from transactions with other Group segments. All segments’ adjusted EBITDA results are regularly reviewed by the Group’s CEO to make decisions about resources to be allocated to a segment and to assess its performance, and for which discrete financial information is available. Segment results that are reported to the CEO include items directly attributable to a segment, before individually significant items, as well as those that can be allocated on a reasonable basis. Unallocated items comprise mainly corporate head office assets, head office expenses, and income tax assets and liabilities. Additions to non-current segment assets are the total cost incurred during the period to acquire assets that include amounts expected to be recovered over more than 12 months after the year end date. Amounts include property, plant and equipment, but exclude financial instruments and deferred tax assets. Segment information is presented in respect of the Group’s reporting segments. These are the Group’s main strategic business segments and have differing risks and rewards associated with the business due to their different product or service and geographic markets. For each of these operating segments, the Group’s CEO regularly reviews internal management reports. Information regarding the results of each reportable segment is included below. Performance is measured based on segment profit before income tax as included in the internal management reports. Segment profit is used to measure performance as management believes that such information is the most relevant in evaluating the results of segments relative to those of other businesses. Inter-segment pricing is determined on an arm’s length basis. Segment results, assets and liabilities include items directly attributable to a segment as well as those that can be allocated on a reasonable basis. Unallocated items mainly comprise interest bearing loans and borrowings and borrowing costs, interest income and corporate head office assets and expenses.

11,774 Accounting policy Income tax expense or benefit in the Income Statement for the periods presented comprises current and deferred tax. Income tax is recognised in profit or loss except to the extent that it relates to a business combination, or items recognised directly in equity or in other comprehensive income. Current tax Current tax is the expected tax payable on the taxable income for the year, using tax rates enacted or substantially enacted at the balance sheet date, and any adjustment to tax payable in respect of previous years. The Company and its Australian wholly-owned subsidiaries are part of a tax consolidated group. As a consequence, all members of the Australian tax consolidated group are taxed as a single entity. EVENT Hospitality & Entertainment Limited is the head entity within the Australian tax consolidated group. Deferred tax Deferred tax arises due to certain temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and those for taxation purposes. The following temporary differences are not provided for: • taxable temporary differences on the initial recognition of goodwill; • the initial recognition of assets or liabilities that affect neither accounting nor taxable profit other than in a business combination; and • differences relating to investments in subsidiaries to the extent that they will probably not reverse in the foreseeable future. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are disclosed net to the extent that they relate to taxes levied by the same authority and the Group has the right of set off. The amount of deferred tax provided is based on the expected manner of realisation or settlement of the carrying amount of assets and liabilities. A deferred tax asset is recognised only to the extent that it is probable that sufficient taxable profit will be available to utilise the temporary difference. The Group has unrecognised deferred tax assets in respect of certain foreign tax revenue losses as disclosed on page 61. The utilisation of the tax revenue losses is dependent upon the generation of sufficient future taxable profits within the applicable foreign tax entities and a deferred tax asset is only recognised to the extent that it is supported by sufficient forecast taxable profits. Assumptions regarding the generation of future taxable profits relevant to those foreign tax entities have been based upon management’s budget estimates and forecasts. Management considers that the forecast of taxable profits for the applicable foreign tax entities is subject to risk and uncertainty; hence, the Group has not recognised all of the losses as a deferred tax asset. 60 EVENT Hospitality & Entertainment Limited – 2022 Annual Report N O T E S T O T H E F I N A N C I A L S T A T E M E N T S F O R T H E Y E A R E N D E D 3 0 J U N E 2 0 2 2 S E C T I O N 2 – P E R F O R M A N C E F O R T H E Y E A R 2.4 – TAXATION (continued) Income tax (expense)/credit The major components of income tax are: Current income tax Current income tax (expense)/credit Income tax under provided in the prior year Deferred income tax Relating to origination and reversal of temporary differences Income tax (expense)/credit reported in the Income Statement Income tax credit/(expense) reported in equity Reconciliation between income tax (expense)/credit and pre-tax profit/(loss) Accounting profit/(loss) before income tax (expense)/credit Prima facie income tax (expense)/credit at the income tax rate of 30% (2021: 30%) Change in income tax (expense)/credit due to: Adjustments relating to non-deductible items and revenue losses Gain on disposal of non-depreciable properties Restatement of depreciation relating to New Zealand assets Other sundry items Income tax under provided in the prior year Total income tax (expense)/credit Unrecognised deferred tax assets Revenue losses – foreign 2022 $’000 2021 $’000 (27,166) (56) 26,724 (498) 30,125 (757) (14,376) 14,992 1,136 (1,135) 53,820 (63,028) (16,146) 18,908 15,633 554 – (483) (56) (498) (11,950) 3,049 9,057 (3,315) (757) 14,992 6,185 20,339 Included in the deferred tax assets not recognised is the gross value of corporate tax and trade tax losses arising in Germany of $20,615,000 (2021: $67,797,000).

Liabilities relating to the Group’s financing activities are addressed in section 4. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are shown in Note 2.4. On the following pages, there are sections covering working capital balances, property, plant and equipment, investment properties, intangible assets and provisions. 3.1 – TRADE AND OTHER RECEIVABLES Trade and other receivables are recognised initially at fair value, and subsequently at the amounts considered recoverable (amortised cost). Where the payment terms for the sale of an asset are deferred, the receivable is discounted using the prevailing rate for a similar instrument of an issuer with similar credit terms. The unwinding of the discount is treated as finance revenue. Trade receivables are non-interest bearing and are generally on 30 to 90-day terms. The Group’s exposure to credit and foreign exchange risks related to trade and other receivables is disclosed in Note 4.5. Estimates are used in determining the level of receivables that will not be collected, and these estimates take into account factors such as historical experience. Allowances are made for impairment losses when there is sufficient evidence that the Group will not be able to collect all amounts due. These allowances are made until such time that the Group is satisfied that no recovery of the amount owing is possible; at that point, the amount considered irrecoverable is written off against the asset directly. The carrying value of trade and other receivables is considered to approximate fair value. Receivables are stated with the amount of goods and services tax (“GST”) or equivalent tax included. Current Trade receivables Less: allowance for trade receivables Other receivables Non-current Other receivables 2022 $’000 21,563 (2,254) 19,309 46,401 65,710 6,936 6,936 2021 $’000 13,324 (1,354) 11,970 86,830 98,800 672 672 As at 30 June 2022, trade receivables with a value of $2,254,000 (2021: $1,354,000) were impaired and fully provided for. The movement in the allowance for trade receivables has been included in other expenses within the income statement. The Group has assessed its expected potential credit losses on an individual trade receivable basis and has applied judgement using management experience and customer interactions. As at 30 June 2022, trade receivables for the Group that were past due but not impaired were $4,311,000 (2021: $2,531,000), of which $1,528,000 (2021: $1,361,000) was less than 30 days overdue. The remainder is not considered material and consequently an ageing analysis has not been provided. Current other receivables of $46,401,000 (2021: $86,830,000) do not contain impaired assets and are not past due. Based on the credit history of these other receivables, it is expected that these amounts will be recovered when due. 63 EVENT Hospitality & Entertainment Limited – 2022 Annual Report N O T E S T O T H E F I N A N C I A L S T A T E M E N T S F O R T H E Y E A R E N D E D 3 0 J U N E 2 0 2 2 S E C T I O N 3 – O P E R A T I N G A S S E T S A N D L I A B I L I T I E S 3.2 – INVENTORIES Inventories are measured at the lower of cost and net realisable value. Work in progress is valued at the lower of cost and net realisable value. Cost is based on the first-in-first-out principle and includes expenditure incurred in bringing inventories to their existing condition and location. 3.3 – PROPERTY, PLANT AND EQUIPMENT Property, plant and equipment Property, plant and equipment are the physical assets used by the Group to generate revenue and profit. These assets include land and buildings, and plant and equipment. Property, plant and equipment are recognised at cost (which is the amount initially paid for them) less accumulated depreciation (the estimate of annual wear and tear) and impairment losses. The Group leases properties in the normal course of business, principally to conduct its cinema exhibition businesses. On inception of a lease, the estimated cost of decommissioning any additions to these properties (known as leasehold improvements) is included within property, plant and equipment and depreciated over the lease term. A corresponding provision is set up as disclosed in Note 3.8. Where parts of an item of property, plant and equipment have different useful lives, they are accounted for separately. Depreciation is charged to the Income Statement on a straight-line basis over the asset’s estimated useful life. The major categories of property, plant and equipment are depreciated as follows: freehold buildings   buildings and improvements subject to long term leases  resort apartments and share of common property  plant and equipment 40 – 80 years; shorter of estimated useful life and term of lease; 40 – 80 years; and 3 – 20 years. Freehold land and land subject to long term leases are not depreciated. Similarly, assets under construction (classified as capital work in progress) are not depreciated until they come into use, when they are transferred to buildings or plant and equipment as appropriate. Impairment of property, plant and equipment Property, plant and equipment that are subject to depreciation are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount may not be recoverable. Indicators of impairment may include changes in technology and business performance. The process of impairment testing is to estimate the recoverable amount of the assets concerned, and recognise an impairment loss in the Income Statement whenever the carrying amount of those assets exceeds the recoverable amount. Impairment testing of property, plant and equipment is performed at an individual cinema or hotel site level, with the exception of cinema sites within a single geographic location, which are tested as one cash-generating unit. Thredbo is also considered to be, and has been tested as, one cash-generating unit. Details regarding impairment testing performed at 30 June 2021 are set out below. 64 EVENT Hospitality & Entertainment Limited – 2022 Annual Report l a t o T 0 0 0 ’ $ 0 0 0 ’ $ s s e r g o r p n i k r o w l a t i p a C 0 0 0 ’ $ d n a t n a P l t n e m p u q e i , 6 0 2 3 0 3 2 , , ) 3 1 4 3 5 0 1 ( , , 3 9 7 9 4 2 1 , 5 6 1 1 , 7 6 4 2 3 , 9 4 2 2 0 1 , ) 0 5 8 2 1 ( , ) 2 6 3 3 7 ( , 8 4 5 1 , 7 5 7 6 , ) 7 9 7 9 ( , ) 8 5 6 6 1 ( , , 2 1 3 1 8 2 1 , , 1 0 6 4 4 3 2 , , ) 9 8 2 3 6 0 1 ( , , 2 1 3 1 8 2 1 , , 4 1 0 8 6 3 2 , , ) 7 1 6 2 3 0 1 ( , , 7 9 3 5 3 3 1 , 4 1 1 6 , 3 8 2 0 3 , ) 2 4 6 3 ( , ) 2 7 0 4 2 ( , ) 1 0 8 3 7 ( , 7 4 7 3 , ) 5 9 7 , 2 ( ) 5 6 4 , 3 ( ) 3 7 9 7 1 ( , , 3 9 7 9 4 2 1 , , 6 0 2 3 0 3 2 , , 3 9 7 9 4 2 1 , , ) 3 1 4 3 5 0 1 ( , – 6 2 6 5 8 , – 6 2 6 5 8 , 4 8 5 8 8 , ) 8 5 5 7 5 ( , – – – – ) 6 3 ( ) 2 0 5 ( 4 1 1 6 1 1 , – 4 1 1 6 1 1 , 4 1 1 6 1 1 , – – 7 0 6 4 0 1 , 1 2 3 5 , 7 0 6 4 0 1 , ) 0 1 1 4 2 ( , – – – – ) 7 4 ( ) 5 4 1 ( 6 2 6 5 8 , – 6 2 6 5 8 , 6 2 6 5 8 , 2 5 3 7 3 8 , ) 2 0 9 3 3 6 ( , 0 5 4 3 0 2 , 2 0 5 7 , 1 6 8 2 , 6 3 0 1 2 , ) 8 2 4 6 ( , ) 1 9 5 4 4 ( , 6 8 3 1 , 7 5 7 6 , ) 0 0 5 1 ( , ) 9 0 8 1 ( , 4 6 6 8 8 1 , 3 5 9 1 0 8 , ) 9 8 2 3 1 6 ( , 4 6 6 8 8 1 , 1 1 5 8 4 8 , ) 1 8 6 5 1 6 ( , 9 2 8 1 1 , 0 3 8 2 3 2 , 4 1 1 6 , 8 9 6 5 , ) 6 6 2 3 ( , ) 5 1 5 7 4 ( , ) 2 6 7 ( 9 7 3 ) 8 8 9 ( ) 9 6 8 ( 0 5 4 3 0 2 , 2 5 3 7 3 8 , ) 2 0 9 3 3 6 ( , 0 5 4 3 0 2 , 0 0 0 ’ $ 0 3 9 ) 3 0 1 ( 7 2 8 – – – – – – – – ) 2 1 ( 5 1 8 0 3 9 ) 5 1 1 ( 5 1 8 0 3 9 ) 1 9 ( 9 3 8 – – – – – – – – ) 2 1 ( 7 2 8 0 3 9 ) 3 0 1 ( 7 2 8 0 0 0 ’ $ 8 4 3 8 7 4 , ) 9 2 7 3 6 2 ( , 9 1 6 4 1 2 , – 0 9 5 5 , ) 4 1 6 ( 9 7 4 5 3 , ) 2 7 3 8 1 ( , – – ) 5 2 6 1 ( , ) 5 7 4 2 ( , 2 0 6 2 3 2 , 5 9 4 3 2 5 , ) 3 9 8 0 9 2 ( , 2 0 6 2 3 2 , 5 5 6 7 5 4 , ) 9 5 7 4 4 2 ( , 3 3 1 3 1 , 6 9 8 2 1 2 , – ) 7 5 ( 0 9 2 7 , ) 3 3 0 , 2 ( ) 3 8 9 5 1 ( , – – ) 7 2 6 ( 9 1 6 4 1 2 , 8 4 3 8 7 4 , ) 9 2 7 3 6 2 ( , 9 1 6 4 1 2 , 0 0 0 ’ $ – 0 2 3 1 , 0 2 3 1 , – – – – – – – – ) 2 3 ( 8 8 2 1 , – 8 8 2 1 , 8 8 2 1 , – 4 2 3 1 , 4 2 3 1 , – – – – – – – – ) 4 ( 0 2 3 1 , – 0 2 3 1 , 0 2 3 1 , y t r e p o r p n o m m o c s e s a e l m r e t f o e r a h s d n a s t n e m t r a p a t r o s e R d n a s g n d i l i u B s t n e m e v o r p m i g n o l o t t c e j b u s o t t c e j b u s d n a L s e s a e l m r e t g n o l 0 0 0 ’ $ s g n d i l i u b 0 3 6 9 9 8 , ) 9 7 6 5 5 1 ( , 1 5 9 3 4 7 , 3 7 5 8 0 2 2 , 6 0 6 9 2 , ) 8 0 8 5 ( , ) 7 8 3 0 1 ( , – 2 6 1 ) 9 7 9 4 ( , ) 7 9 4 3 1 ( , 9 2 8 1 4 7 , 1 2 8 0 0 9 , ) 2 9 9 8 5 1 ( , 9 2 8 1 4 7 , 7 8 9 4 5 9 , ) 6 8 0 , 2 7 1 ( 1 0 9 2 8 7 , – – 0 8 4 7 , ) 9 4 7 0 2 ( , ) 1 9 2 0 1 ( , – 8 6 3 3 , ) 0 2 8 , 1 ( ) 8 3 9 6 1 ( , 1 5 9 3 4 7 , 0 3 6 9 9 8 , ) 9 7 6 5 5 1 ( , 1 5 9 3 4 7 , d n a d n a l l d o h e e r F t r o p e R s t n e m r i a p m i d n a n o i t a s i t r o m a , n o i t a i c e r p e d d e t a u m u c c A l r a e y e h t i f o g n n n g e b e h t i l t a e c n a a b s s o r G 2 2 0 2 s t n e m r i a p m i d n a n o i t a s i t r o m a , n o i t a i c e r p e d d e t a u m u c c A l r a e y e h t f o d n e e h t t a e c n a a b t e N l s t n e m r i a p m i d n a n o i t a s i t r o m a , n o i t a i c e r p e D e g n a h c x e n g e r o f n i i t n e m e v o m f o t c e f f E s t e s s a e s u -

Except for investment properties, which are revalued every half year (refer to Note 3.4), valuations are generally carried out on a progressive three-year cycle. The majority of the Group’s properties were subject to an independent valuation as at 30 June 2021. Measurement of fair values Amounts disclosed below represent the fair value of the Group’s interest in land and buildings, excluding investment properties, as determined at the time of the most recent independent valuation report. Independent registered qualified valuers are engaged to perform the valuations. The values are determined based on the highest and best use of each property. In most cases, the existing use is the highest and best use and values are determined on a going concern basis. For certain properties, the highest and best use may differ from the current use, and consideration may be given to the development of such properties at an appropriate time in the future in order to realise the full value of the property. The fair value disclosure has been categorised as a Level 3 fair value based on the inputs to the valuation techniques used. Going concern value is based on capitalisation and discounted cash flow methodologies, and significant unobservable inputs include the forecast net income for each property, and the capitalisation and discount rates used in determining fair value. In the most recent valuations for 30 June 2021, capitalisation rates utilised ranged from 4.10% to 12.00% and pre-tax discount rates utilised ranged from 5.61% to 11.75% per annum. For certain sites where the going concern value was not the highest and best use, fair value was determined using a direct comparison methodology with reference to recent sales of similar properties. The fair values determined by the independent registered qualified valuers are sensitive to changes in these significant unobservable inputs. However, overall the fair value of the Group’s interest in land and buildings, excluding investment properties, is significantly higher than the book value of these interests as noted below. Valuations of interest in land and buildings, excluding investment properties and properties classified as held for sale A summary of recent independent valuations, by year of the last valuation, is set out as follows: 2022 $’000 2021 $’000 Existing use is highest and best use Independent valuation – 30 June 2021 Independent valuation – 8 March 2021 Alternate use is highest and best use Independent valuation – 30 June 2021 Land and buildings not independently valued Book value of land and buildings not independently valued 1,612,097 57,720 1,686,164 – 263,441 274,577 2,029 1,935,287 4,822 1,965,563 The book value of the above interests at 30 June 2022 was $1,052,032,000 (2021: $1,030,447,000). The written-down book value of plant and equipment at 30 June 2022 which is deemed integral to land and buildings, has been determined to total approximately $158,879,000 (2021: $139,872,000). The above valuations do not take into account the potential impact of capital gains tax. 66 EVENT Hospitality & Entertainment Limited – 2022 Annual Report N O T E S T O T H E F I N A N C I A L S T A T E M E N T S F O R T H E Y E A R E N D E D 3 0 J U N E 2 0 2 2 S E C T I O N 3 – O P E R A T I N G A S S E T S A N D L I A B I L I T I E S 3.3 – PROPERTY, PLANT AND EQUIPMENT (continued) Impairment considerations at 30 June 2022 Hotels Hotel properties are treated as separate cash-generating units. The Group obtained independent valuations as at 30 June 2021 from suitably qualified external valuers for each of the key hotel properties. The impairment review process at 30 June 2022 included a comparison of the independent valuation at 30 June 2021 to the carrying value of each hotel cash-generating unit and a review of the independent valuation parameters to ensure that parameters were consistent (or no less favourable) than prevailing market parameters at 30 June 2022. A sensitivity analysis, assuming a -10% variation to the 2021 independent valuations, was also undertaken to ensure that there was sufficient independent valuation headroom. There was one hotel property where the carrying value was below the independent valuation, due primarily to current refurbishment expenditure, and that hotel was subject to further impairment testing. To assess the value in use for impairment testing purposes:  estimated future 5-year cash flows (based on 2023 year budget and Board approved future forecasts) were discounted to their present value using an appropriate pre-tax discount rate, derived from the Group’s Australian hotel related post-tax weighted average cost of capital of 7.72%; a terminal value capitalisation rate of 6.50%; and forecast growth rates (inclusive of an average annual inflation rate) of 2.5%.   As a result of the above impairment review process, no impairment charges (2021: $nil) were recognised for the year. For hotels that had been subject to impairments in previous years, the trading performance and recoverable amount were also reviewed during the year. As a result of the review, no impairment charges (2021: $3,747,000) were reversed in respect of impairments booked in previous years. A prior year impairment charge of $1,548,000 was reversed as a result of the disposal of certain items. Entertainment Cinema sites are treated as separate cash-generating units, with the exception of cinema sites within a single geographic location, which are tested as one cash-generating unit. The forecast trading performance of certain cinema sites and cash- generating units caused the Group to assess their recoverable amounts at 30 June 2022. In addition, and as a direct result of COVID-19, impairment review parameters were amended to increase the impairment focus on cinema sites and cash- generating units. The impairment review process at 30 June 2022 included the following:  the expected 2023 budget and normalised annual earnings for each cinema or cinema cash-generating unit were reviewed by management to determine the existence, if any, of any underlying current or expected future market or other conditions that could potentially adversely impact future performance and earnings for the site or cash-generating unit. If an adverse condition was in existence, the site or cash-generating unit was subject to further impairment testing;  where no adverse conditions were considered to be present, the 2023 budget and normalised EBITDA was multiplied by a factor range of five and seven and the results were used as a conservative proxy for market valuation purposes; and a cash flow model (non-discounted) was utilised and applied as an overlay indicator test.  For those sites where future adverse market changes were noted or the EBITDA multiple or result from the cash flow model was below the relevant carrying value, the site or cash-generating unit was subject to further impairment testing. Where a site or cash-generating unit utilises a component of freehold property which is owned by the Group, the impairment assessment also incorporated the current independent valuation undertaken as at 30 June 2021. To assess the value in use for impairment testing purposes:  estimated future cash flows were discounted to their present value using an appropriate pre-tax discount rate, derived from the Group’s Entertainment segment related post-tax weighted average cost of capital of 7.81% to 9.00%; cash flow forecasts were based on the 2023 budget presented to the Board; and forecast growth rates (inclusive of an average annual inflation rate) of 2.0%.   67 EVENT Hospitality & Entertainment Limited – 2022 Annual Report N O T E S T O T H E F I N A N C I A L S T A T E M E N T S F O R T H E Y E A R E N D E D 3 0 J U N E 2 0 2 2 S E C T I O N 3 – O P E R A T I N G A S S E T S A N D L I A B I L I T I E S 3.3 – PROPERTY, PLANT AND EQUIPMENT (continued) As a result of the above impairment review process, impairment losses totalling $566,000 (2021: $9,920,000) were recorded in respect of certain cinemas or cash-generating units. The site that that were subject to an impairment charge are located in Germany. Thredbo The operations at Thredbo are treated as one cash-generating unit. The trading performance of Thredbo during the year ended 30 June 2022 was unfavourably impacted by the visitation restrictions relating to COVID-19. The impairment review process included a review of the parameters of the independent valuation that was issued at 30 June 2021 together with the expected future normalised earnings of the Thredbo business. The independent valuation parameters were considered to be consistent with the Group’s forward estimates and assumptions. In addition, the independent valuation is in excess of the current carrying value by over 250% and, as a result, the Group determined that there was no impairment in relation to the carrying value of Thredbo. Security The following assets, whose carrying values are listed below, are subject to mortgage security to secure the Group’s bank loan facilities (refer to Note 4.4): Freehold land and buildings Freehold land and buildings classified as assets held for sale Freehold land and buildings classified as investment properties 2022 $’000 537,949 14,126 6,300 558,375 2021 $’000 491,253 – 6,250 497,503 Capital commitments Capital expenditure commitments contracted but not provided for and payable 8,993 3,599 3.4 – INVESTMENT PROPERTIES Accounting policy Investment properties comprise land and buildings which are held for long term rental yields or for capital appreciation or both, and are not occupied by the Group in the ordinary course of business or for administration purposes. Initially, investment properties are measured at cost including transaction costs. Subsequent to initial recognition, investment properties are stated at fair value with any change therein recognised in profit or loss. Property that is being constructed or redeveloped for future use as an investment property is also measured at fair value (unless a fair value cannot be reliably determined). When the use of a property changes from owner occupied to investment property, the property is reclassified as an investment property. Any difference at the date of transfer between the carrying amount of the property immediately prior to transfer and its fair value is recognised directly to the investment property revaluation reserve if it is an increase and to profit or loss if it is a decrease. A gain may be recognised to profit on remeasurement only to the extent it reverses a previous impairment loss on the property. Subsequent transfers from investment property to property, plant and equipment or inventories occur when there is a change in use of the property, usually evidenced by commencement of redevelopment for own use. Investment properties are derecognised when they have either been disposed of or when the investment property is permanently withdrawn from use and no future benefit is expected from its disposal. Any gains or losses on derecognition of an investment property are recognised in profit or loss in the period of derecognition. Fair value of investment properties Investment properties are independently revalued to fair value each reporting period, with any gain or loss arising on remeasurement being recognised in profit or loss. The fair value of investment property has been categorised as a Level 3 fair value based on the inputs to the valuation technique used. In assessing the fair value of investment properties, a number of assumptions are made at the end of each reporting period regarding future cash flows, future property market economic conditions and other factors including cash flow discount rates, rental capitalisation rates, and recent market transactions for similar properties. 68 EVENT Hospitality & Entertainment Limited – 2022 Annual Report N O T E S T O T H E F I N A N C I A L S T A T E M E N T S F O R T H E Y E A R E N D E D 3 0 J U N E 2 0 2 2 S E C T I O N 3 – O P E R A T I N G A S S E T S A N D L I A B I L I T I E S 3.4 – INVESTMENT PROPERTIES (continued) The carrying amount of investment property is the fair value of the property as determined by an independent registered qualified valuer. The significant unobservable inputs used by the valuer in determining the fair value of the investment property held by the Group at 30 June 2022 included a market capitalisation rates of 7.25% (2021: reversionary rental yields of 5.74% to 7.27%). The valuer has carried out the valuation by applying assumptions regarding the reasonably possible impacts of COVID-19 based on information available as at 30 June 2022. The leases for the investment property contain an initial non-cancellable period of between five and 15 years. Subsequent renewals are negotiated with the lessee. No contingent rents are charged for the investment property. During the year ended 30 June 2022, $2,848,000 (2021: $7,518,000) was recognised as rental income for investment properties in the Income Statement, with $611,000 (2021: $1,916,000) incurred in respect of direct costs, including $123,000 (2021: $240,000) for repairs and maintenance. The Group investment property at 30 June 2022 consists of one central Brisbane property. Investment properties were sold during the years ended 30 June 2022 and 30 June 2021.

Such assets, or disposal groups, are generally measured at the lower of their carrying amount, and fair value less cost to sell. Once classified as held for sale, intangible assets and property, plant and equipment are no longer amortised or depreciated and any equity accounted investee is no longer equity accounted. Assets classified as held for sale A number of non-core properties have been identified for potential sale by the Group and, as at 30 June 2022, the Group had initiated active marketing campaigns in relation to three of the identified properties. Assets held for sale – carrying amount 2022 $’000 2021 $’000 16,658 17,973 The fair value of the assets held for sale is $72.6 million. The fair value was based on independent valuations totalling $70.9 million for two of the three properties, as determined by independent registered qualified valuers as at 30 June 2021. The fair values are sensitive to changes in these significant unobservable inputs. The significant unobservable inputs used by the valuer in determining the fair value of the assets held for sale by the Group at 30 June 2021 included a capitalisation rate of 5.25% for one property and for the second property, where the going concern value was not the highest and best use, fair value was determined using a direct comparison methodology with reference to recent sales of similar properties. A third property was not subject to valuation and the book value at 30 June 2022 was determined to represent the fair value of that property. 69 EVENT Hospitality & Entertainment Limited – 2022 Annual Report N O T E S T O T H E F I N A N C I A L S T A T E M E N T S F O R T H E Y E A R E N D E D 3 0 J U N E 2 0 2 2 S E C T I O N 3 – O P E R A T I N G A S S E T S A N D L I A B I L I T I E S 3.6 – GOODWILL AND OTHER INTANGIBLE ASSETS Accounting policy Goodwill Goodwill arises from business combinations as described in Note 5.1 and represents the future economic benefits that arise from assets that are not capable of being individually identified and separately recognised. Following initial recognition, goodwill is measured at cost less any accumulated impairment losses. Goodwill is not amortised, but instead is reviewed for impairment annually or more frequently if events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value may be impaired. Goodwill is allocated to cash-generating units, and impairment is determined by assessing the recoverable amount of the cash- generating unit to which the goodwill relates. Where the recoverable amount of the cash-generating unit is less than the carrying amount, an impairment loss is recognised. An impairment loss recognised in respect of goodwill cannot be reversed. The carrying amount of goodwill in respect of associates and joint ventures is included in the carrying amount of the investment in the associate or joint venture. Construction rights Construction rights relate to the Group’s ability to develop accommodation in the Thredbo Alpine Resort. Construction rights are recognised at cost and are derecognised as the rights are either sold or developed. The carrying value of construction rights is reviewed annually. Any amounts no longer considered recoverable are written off, with the impairment loss recorded in profit or loss. Other intangible assets Other intangible assets, which largely comprise management and leasehold rights and software, are stated at cost less accumulated amortisation and impairment losses. Management and leasehold rights are amortised over the life of the agreements, which range from 10 to 20 years, on a straight-line basis. Software for major operating systems is amortised over a four to five-year period on a straight-line basis. Impairment The carrying amounts of the Group’s non-financial assets, other than investment properties (see Note 3.4), are reviewed at each reporting date to determine whether there is any indication of impairment. Where an indicator of impairment exists, the Group makes a formal estimate of the asset’s recoverable amount. For goodwill, the recoverable amount is estimated each year at the same time. The recoverable amount of assets or cash-generating units is the greater of their fair value less costs to sell, and their value in use. In assessing value in use, the estimated future cash flows are discounted to their present value using a pre-tax discount rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the asset or cash-generating unit. For an asset that does not generate largely independent cash inflows, the recoverable amount is determined for the cash- generating unit to which the asset belongs. Where the carrying amount of an asset or its related cash-generating unit exceeds its recoverable amount, the asset is considered impaired and is written down to its recoverable amount. Impairment losses recognised in respect of cash- generating units are allocated first to reduce the carrying value of any goodwill allocated to the cash-generating unit, and then to reduce the carrying amounts of the other assets in the cash-generating unit on a pro-rata basis. Impairment losses are recognised in profit or loss unless the asset or its cash-generating unit has previously been revalued, in which case the impairment loss is recognised as a reversal to the extent of the previous revaluation, with any excess recognised in profit or loss. An impairment loss in respect of goodwill cannot be reversed. In respect of other assets, impairment losses recognised in prior periods are assessed at each reporting date for any indications that the loss has decreased or no longer exists. An impairment loss is reversed only to the extent that the asset’s carrying amount does not exceed the carrying amount that would have been determined, net of depreciation or amortisation, if no impairment loss had been recognised. 70 EVENT Hospitality & Entertainment Limited – 2022 Annual Report N O T E S T O T H E F I N A N C I A L S T A T E M E N T S F O R T H E Y E A R E N D E D 3 0 J U N E 2 0 2 2 S E C T I O N 3 – O P E R A T I N G A S S E T S A N D L I A B I L I T I E S 3.6 – GOODWILL AND OTHER INTANGIBLE ASSETS (continued) Reconciliations Summaries of the carrying amount movements of each class of intangible assets between the beginning and end of the year are set out below: 2022 Gross balance at the beginning of the year Accumulated amortisation and impairment losses at the beginning of the year Net balance at the beginning of the year Acquisitions and initial contributions Transfers Amortisation Disposals Net foreign currency differences on translation of foreign operations Net balance at the end of the year Gross balance at the end of the year Accumulated amortisation and impairment losses at the end of the year Net balance at the end of the year 2021 Gross balance at the beginning of the year Accumulated amortisation and impairment losses at the beginning of the year Net balance at the beginning of the year Acquisitions and initial contributions Transfers Amortisation Impairments Net foreign currency differences on translation of foreign operations Net balance at the end of the year Gross balance at the end of the year Accumulated amortisation and impairment losses at the end of the year Net balance at the end of the year Goodwill $’000 Construction rights $’000 67,233 1,343 (653) 66,580 27,125 – – – (2,503) 91,202 91,855 (653) 91,202 62,928 (653) 62,275 4,555 – – – (250) 66,580 67,233 (653) 66,580 – 1,343 – – – (354) – 989 989 – 989 1,343 – 1,343 – – – – – 1,343 1,343 – 1,343 Cash generating units containing goodwill have been outlined below: Entertainment – Australia and New Zealand Entertainment – Germany Hotels – New Zealand Hotels – Australia Multiple units without significant goodwill Liquor licences $’000 Management and leasehold rights $’000 Software $’000 Total $’000 196 – 196 – – – (6) – 190 190 – 190 196 – 196 – – – – – 196 196 – 196 68,776 8,861 146,409 (39,169) 29,607 770 – (4,395) (861) (281) 24,840 63,371 (38,531) 24,840 (5,242) 3,619 470 (1,165) (1,448) – (38) 1,438 7,399 (5,961) (45,064) 101,345 28,365 (1,165) (5,843) (1,221) (2,822) 118,659 163,804 (45,145) 1,438 118,659 67,616 8,300 140,383 (37,385) 30,231 729 3,153 (4,429) – (77) 29,607 (3,199) 5,101 873 (405) (1,879) (15) (56) 3,619 (41,237) 99,146 6,157 2,748 (6,308) (15) (383) 101,345 68,776 8,861 146,409 (39,169) 29,607 (5,242) 3,619 (45,064) 101,345 2022 $’000 43,424 3,900 39,543 3,593 742 91,202 2021 $’000 43,694 4,066 14,485 3,593 742 66,580 71 EVENT Hospitality & Entertainment Limited – 2022 Annual Report N O T E S T O T H E F I N A N C I A L S T A T E M E N T S F O R T H E Y E A R E N D E D 3 0 J U N E 2 0 2 2 S E C T I O N 3 – O P E R A T I N G A S S E T S A N D L I A B I L I T I E S 3.6 – GOODWILL AND OTHER INTANGIBLE ASSETS (continued) Impairment considerations at 30 June 2022 The recoverable value of goodwill has been determined by value in use calculations for each specific goodwill component. Hotels There are three owned hotel properties with specific goodwill components. To assess the value in use for impairment testing purposes:  estimated future 5-year cash flows (based on 2023 year budget and Board approved future forecasts) were discounted to their present value using an appropriate pre-tax discount rate, derived from the Group’s relevant hotel related post-tax weighted average cost of capital of 7.72% to 9.02%; a terminal value capitalisation rate of 6.50% to 9.02%; and forecast growth rates (inclusive of an average annual inflation rate) of 2.5% to 3.5%.   For goodwill relating to certain hotel leasehold properties, considered as one cash generating unit for goodwill impairment purposes:  estimated future cash flows (based on 2023 year budget and Board approved future forecasts) were discounted to their present value using an appropriate pre-tax discount rate, derived from the Group’s post-tax weighted average cost of capital of 8.02%; and forecast growth rates (inclusive of an average annual inflation rate) of 2.0%.  As a result of the above impairment review process, no impairment losses (2021: $nil) were recorded in respect of goodwill. Further information regarding the key assumptions made in relation to the assessment of impairment of Hotel cash-generating units is disclosed in Note 3.3. Entertainment To assess the value in use for impairment testing purposes:  estimated future cash flows were discounted to their present value using an appropriate pre-tax discount rate, derived from the Group’s post-tax weighted average cost of capital of between 7.81% to 9.00%; cash flow forecasts were based on the 2023 budget presented to the Board; and forecast growth rates (inclusive of an average annual inflation rate) of 2.0%.   As a result of the above impairment review process, no impairment losses (2021: $nil) were recorded in respect of goodwill and management leasehold rights. Further information regarding the key assumptions made in relation to the assessment of impairment of Entertainment cash-generating units is disclosed in Note 3.3. Sensitivity analysis A 1% increase in the relevant post-tax weighted average cost of capital would have resulted in an impairment of $740,000 for one of the Group’s cash generating units containing goodwill. 3.7 – TRADE AND OTHER PAYABLES Trade and other payables are recognised initially at fair value plus any directly attributable transaction costs. Subsequent to initial recognition, these financial liabilities are measured at amortised cost. Trade payables are normally non-interest bearing and settled within 30 days. Payables are stated with the amount of GST or equivalent tax included. The carrying value of trade and other payables is considered to approximate fair value.

The provision is calculated as the present value of the Group’s net obligation to pay such benefits resulting from the employees’ services provided up to the reporting date. The provisions due or available to be settled within 12 months have been calculated at undiscounted amounts based on the remuneration rates the employer expects to pay after the reporting date and includes related on-costs. The liability for employees’ benefits to long service leave represents the present value of the estimated future cash outflows to be made by the employer resulting from employees’ services provided up to the reporting date. Liabilities for employee benefits which are not due to be settled within 12 months are discounted using the rates attaching to national government securities at reporting date, which most closely match the terms of maturity of the related liabilities. In determining the liability for employee benefits, consideration has been given to future increases in wage and salary rates, and the Group’s experience with staff departures. Related on-costs have also been included in the liability. Insurance loss contingencies and other claims The insurance loss contingencies and other claims provision relates to estimated costs to be incurred in respect of various claims that are expected to be settled within 12 months of the balance date. Decommissioning of leasehold improvements A provision for the estimated cost of decommissioning leasehold improvements is made where a legal or constructive obligation exists. In determining the provision for decommissioning costs, an assessment is made for each location of the likelihood and amount of the decommissioning costs to be incurred in the future. The estimated future liability is discounted to a present value, with the discount amount unwinding over the life of the leasehold asset as a finance cost in profit or loss. The estimated decommissioning cost recognised as a provision is included as part of the cost of the leasehold improvements at the time of installation or during the term of the lease, as the liability for decommissioning is reassessed. This amount capitalised is then depreciated over the life of the asset. The decommissioning of leasehold improvements provision has been raised in respect of “make-good” obligations under long term lease contracts for various cinema sites. In determining the provision, an assessment has been made, for each location, of the likelihood that a decommissioning cost will be incurred in the future and, where applicable, the level of costs to be incurred. Uncertainty exists in estimating the level of costs to be incurred in the future because of the long term nature of cinema leases. Other Other provisions are recognised in the Statement of Financial Position when the Group has a present legal or constructive obligation as a result of a past event, and it is probable that an outflow of economic benefits will be required to settle the obligation. Provisions are determined by discounting the expected future cash flows at a pre-tax rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and, where appropriate, the risks specific to the liability. The unwinding of the discount is recognised as a finance cost.

A contract is, or contains, a lease if the contract conveys the right to control the use of an identified asset for a period of time in exchange for consideration. To assess whether a contract conveys the right to control the use of an identified asset, the Group assesses whether:  the contract involves the use of an identified asset – this may be specified explicitly or implicitly and should be physically distinct or represent substantially all of the capacity of a physically distinct asset. If the supplier has a substantive substitution right, then the asset is not identified; the Group has the right to obtain substantially all of the economic benefits from use of the asset throughout the period of use; and the Group has the right to direct the use of the asset. The Group has this right when it has the decision-making rights that are most relevant to changing how and for what purpose the asset is used. In rare cases where the decision about how and for what purpose the asset is used is pre-determined, the Group has the right to direct the use of the asset if either: o the Group has the right to operate the asset; or o the Group has designed the asset in a way that pre-determines how and for what purpose it will be used.   This policy is applied to contracts entered into, or changed, on or after 1 July 2019. Accounting for leases – as a lessee The Group recognises a right-of-use asset and a lease liability at the lease commencement date. The right-of-use asset is initially measured at cost, which comprises the initial amount of the lease liability adjusted for any lease payments made at or before the commencement date, plus any initial direct costs incurred and an estimate of costs to dismantle and remove the underlying asset or to restore the underlying asset or the site on which it is located, less any lease incentives received. The right-of-use asset is subsequently depreciated using the straight-line method from the commencement date to the earlier of the end of the useful life of the right-of-use asset or the end of the lease term. The estimated useful lives of right-of-use assets are determined on the same basis as those of property, plant and equipment. In addition, the right-of-use asset is periodically reduced by impairment losses, if any, and adjusted for certain remeasurements of the lease liability. 74 EVENT Hospitality & Entertainment Limited – 2022 Annual Report N O T E S T O T H E F I N A N C I A L S T A T E M E N T S F O R T H E Y E A R E N D E D 3 0 J U N E 2 0 2 2 S E C T I O N 3 – O P E R A T I N G A S S E T S A N D L I A B I L I T I E S 3.9 – COMMITMENTS AND LEASES (continued) The lease liability is initially measured at the present value of the lease payments that are not paid at the commencement date, discounted using the interest rate implicit in the lease or, if that rate cannot be readily determined, the Group’s incremental borrowing rate. Generally, the Group uses its incremental borrowing rate as the discount rate. Lease payments included in the measurement of the lease liability comprise the following:   variable lease payments that depend on an index or a rate, initially measured using the index or rate as at the fixed payments, including in-substance fixed payments; commencement date;  amounts expected to be payable under a residual value guarantee; and  the exercise price under a purchase option that the Group is reasonably certain to exercise, lease payments in an optional renewal period if the Group is reasonably certain to exercise an extension option, and penalties for early termination of a lease unless the Group is reasonably certain not to terminate early. The lease liability is measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method. It is remeasured when there is a change in future lease payments arising from a change in an index or rate, if there is a change in the Group’s estimate of the amount expected to be payable under a residual value guarantee, or if the Group changes its assessment of whether it will exercise a purchase, extension or termination option. When the lease liability is remeasured in this way, a corresponding adjustment is made to the carrying amount of the right-of- use asset, or is recorded in profit or loss if the carrying amount of the right-of-use asset has been reduced to zero. The Group presents right-of-use assets and lease liabilities separately in the Statement of Financial Position. Short term leases and leases of low-value assets The Group has elected not to recognise right-of-use assets and lease liabilities for short term leases of machinery that have a lease term of 12 months or less and leases of low-value assets, including IT equipment. The Group recognises the lease payments associated with the leases as an expense on a straight-line basis over the lease term. Accounting for leases – as a lessor When the Group acts as a lessor, it determines at lease inception whether each lease is a finance lease or an operating lease. To classify each lease, the Group makes an overall assessment of whether the lease transfers substantially all of the risks and rewards incidental to ownership of the underlying asset. If this is the case, then the lease is a finance lease; if not, then it is an operating lease. As part of this assessment, the Group considers certain indicators such as whether the lease is for the major part of the economic life of the asset. When the Group is an intermediate lessor, it accounts for its interest in the head lease and the sub-lease separately. It assesses the lease classification of a sub-lease with reference to the right-of-use asset arising from the head lease, not with reference to the underlying asset. If a head lease is a short term lease to which the Group applies the exemption described above, then it classifies the sub-lease as an operating lease. If an arrangement contains lease and non-lease components, the Group applies AASB 15 Revenue from Contracts with Customers to allocate the consideration in the contract. The Group recognises lease payments received under operating leases as income on a straight-line basis over the lease term as part of other income. 75 EVENT Hospitality & Entertainment Limited – 2022 Annual Report N O T E S T O T H E F I N A N C I A L S T A T E M E N T S F O R T H E Y E A R E N D E D 3 0 J U N E 2 0 2 2 S E C T I O N 3 – O P E R A T I N G A S S E T S A N D L I A B I L I T I E S 3.9 – COMMITMENTS AND LEASES (continued) Joint operation lease arrangements As disclosed in Note 5.3, the Group is a party to material joint operations in respect of its cinema operations. These are accounted for on a line-by-line basis. The disclosures set out below include the Group’s share of its right-of-use assets and lease liabilities that relate to these joint operations.

Impairment considerations at 30 June 2022 The right-of-use assets for cinema and hotel sites were considered in conjunction with the impairment process for property, plant and equipment. Detail of the impairment process, including the methodology and parameters, are set out within Note 3.3. As a result of the above impairment review process, impairment losses totalling $5,582,000 (2021: $7,125,000) were recorded in respect of certain cinemas or cash-generating units. The sites that that were subject to an impairment charge are located in Germany. Property leases The Group leases various properties, including cinema sites, under operating leases. The leases typically run for periods up to 20 years, with varying terms, escalation clauses and renewal or extension options. The head lease in respect of the Thredbo Village and ski area is for a longer period, being 50 years from 29 June 2007. The Group sub-leases some of its properties under operating leases (see below). 76 EVENT Hospitality & Entertainment Limited – 2022 Annual Report N O T E S T O T H E F I N A N C I A L S T A T E M E N T S F O R T H E Y E A R E N D E D 3 0 J U N E 2 0 2 2 S E C T I O N 3 – O P E R A T I N G A S S E T S A N D L I A B I L I T I E S 3.9 – COMMITMENTS AND LEASES (continued) Variable lease payments based on sales and profit Some leases provide for additional rent payments that are based on sales or profit that the Group makes at the leased site in the period. Variable lease payments during the year ended 30 June 2022 were $1,600,000 (2021: $1,425,000). Extension options Some property leases contain extension options exercisable by the Group up to one year before the end of the non-cancellable contract period. The extension options held are exercisable only by the Group and not by the lessors. The Group assesses at lease commencement whether it is reasonably certain to exercise the extension options. The Group reassesses whether it is reasonably certain to exercise the options if there is a significant event or significant change in circumstances within its control. As at 30 June 2022, lease liabilities included $152,897,000 (2021: $110,305,000) of lease liabilities in respect of extension options that have yet to be exercised by the Group. Lease not yet commenced to which the lessee is committed As at 30 June 2022, the Group has entered into agreements for new leases that have yet to commence and in respect of which lease liabilities have yet to be recognised. The Group’s share of the total undiscounted rent payable under these leases is $28,696,000 (2021: $29,408,000), over lease terms of between 15 and 20 years. Other leases Other leases, including leases of vehicles and equipment, are not material to the Group. Operating leases – as a lessor The Group receives rental income from a number of properties, both leased and owned. With the exception of sub-leases under the Thredbo head lease, leases are for periods ranging between one and 15 years and have varying terms, escalation clauses and renewal or extension options. There are approximately 700 sub-leases under the Thredbo head lease. Thredbo sub-leases consist of long term accommodation sub-leases for holiday apartments, chalets and lodges and also retail premises. Long term accommodation sub-leases are typically for periods mirroring the head lease, which was renewed for a further 50- year period from 29 June 2007. The Group has classified these leases as operating leases because they do not transfer substantially all of the risks and rewards incidental to ownership of the assets. Lease income from lease contracts in which the Group acts as a lessor is set out in Note 2.1. The following table sets out a maturity analysis of lease payments, showing the undiscounted lease payments to be received after the reporting date: Leases of owned properties Less than one year One to five years More than five years Sub-leases Less than one year One to five years More than five years 2022 $’000 2021 $’000 8,367 25,828 14,615 48,810 7,476 29,488 220,374 257,338 13,569 38,312 18,373 70,254 7,677 29,617 227,721 265,015 Finance leases – as a lessor The Group does not currently have any lease arrangements in which it is the lessor that are classified as finance leases. 3.10 – OTHER LIABILITIES Other liabilities include contract deposits received in advance and deferred lease incentive balances arising from operating leases.

On the following pages, there are sections on the Group’s share capital, dividends, reserves, loans and borrowings, and financial risk management. 4.1 – SHARE CAPITAL Ordinary shares are classified as equity. Incremental costs directly attributable to the issue of ordinary shares are recognised as a deduction from equity, net of any tax effects. The Company does not have authorised capital or par value in respect of its issued shares. Ordinary shares entitle the holder to participate in dividends and the proceeds on winding up of the Company in proportion to the number of and amounts paid on the shares held. On a show of hands, every holder of ordinary shares present at a meeting in person or by proxy, is entitled to one vote, and upon a poll each share is entitled to one vote. Share capital Fully paid ordinary shares Movements in share capital Balance at the beginning of the year Balance at the end of the year Share capital consists of: Ordinary shares Tax Exempt Share Plan shares 2022 Shares 2021 Shares 2022 $’000 2021 $’000 161,195,521 161,195,521 219,126 219,126 161,195,521 161,195,521 161,195,521 161,195,521 219,126 219,126 219,126 219,126 161,195,521 – 161,195,521 161,173,953 21,568 161,195,521 Share buy-back There is no current on-market buy-back.

Options Other than the performance rights disclosed in Note 6.1, there were no share options on issue as at 30 June 2022 (2021: nil). 78 EVENT Hospitality & Entertainment Limited – 2022 Annual Report N O T E S T O T H E F I N A N C I A L S T A T E M E N T S F O R T H E Y E A R E N D E D 3 0 J U N E 2 0 2 2 S E C T I O N 4 – C A P I T A L S T R U C T U R E A N D F I N A N C I N G 4.1 – SHARE CAPITAL (continued) Capital management The Group manages its capital with the objective of maintaining a strong capital base so as to maintain investor, creditor and market confidence and to have the capacity to take advantage of opportunities that will enhance the existing businesses and enable future growth and expansion. The Board monitors the return on capital, which the Group defines as operating profit after income tax divided by shareholders’ equity and long term debt. The Board also monitors the Group’s gearing ratio, being net debt divided by shareholders’ equity. It is recognised that the Group operates in business segments in which operating results may be subject to volatility and the Board continuously reviews the capital structure to ensure sufficient:    surplus funding capacity is available; funds are available for capital expenditure and to implement longer term business development strategies; and funds are available to maintain appropriate dividend levels. There were no changes in the Group’s approach to capital management during the year. No Group entity is subject to externally imposed capital requirements. 4.2 – DIVIDENDS To assist the Group’s liquidity during the COVID-19 recovery period, no dividend has been declared in respect of the year ended 30 June 2022 (2021: nil). Future dividend payments will be subject to Board consideration and approval having regard to all relevant circumstances including lender gearing requirements and the Group’s trading performance. Franking credit balance The amount of franking credits available for future reporting periods 2022 $’000 2021 $’000 125,536 106,055 The impact on the franking account of dividends proposed or declared before the financial report was authorised for issue but not recognised as a distribution to equity holders during the period was $nil (2021: $nil). The ability to utilise franking credits is dependent upon the Company being in a sufficient positive net asset position and also having adequate available cash flow liquidity. 79 EVENT Hospitality & Entertainment Limited – 2022 Annual Report N O T E S T O T H E F I N A N C I A L S T A T E M E N T S F O R T H E Y E A R E N D E D 3 0 J U N E 2 0 2 2 S E C T I O N 4 – C A P I T A L S T R U C T U R E A N D F I N A N C I N G 4.3 – RESERVES Financial assets revaluation reserve This reserve includes the cumulative net change in the fair value of investments designated as at FVOCI from 1 July 2021, and the cumulative net change in the fair value of investments previously classified available-for-sale financial assets. Amounts are recognised in the Income Statement when the associated assets are sold or impaired. Investment property revaluation reserve This reserve relates to property that has been reclassified as an investment property and represents the cumulative increase in the fair value of the property at the date of reclassification. Hedging reserve This reserve comprises the effective portion of the cumulative net change in the fair value of cash flow hedging instruments related to hedged transactions that have not yet occurred. Share-based payments reserve This reserve includes the cumulative fair value of the executive performance rights which have been recognised as an employee expense in the Income Statement. See Note 6.1 for further details regarding share-based payment arrangements. Foreign currency translation reserve This reserve records the foreign currency differences arising from the translation of foreign operations, the translation of transactions that hedge the Group’s net investment in a foreign operation or the translation of foreign currency monetary items forming part of the net investment in a foreign operation and the Group’s share of associates’ increment or decrement in their foreign currency translation reserve.

Bank overdrafts that are repayable on demand and form an integral part of the Group’s cash management are included as a component of cash and cash equivalents for the purpose of the Statement of Cash Flows. Loans and borrowings Interest bearing and non-interest bearing loans and borrowings are recognised initially at fair value less attributable transaction costs. Subsequent to initial recognition, loans and borrowings are stated at amortised cost with any difference between cost and redemption value being recognised in profit or loss over the period of the borrowings using the effective interest method. The carrying value of loans and borrowings is considered to approximate fair value. Finance costs Finance costs include interest, unwinding of discounts or premiums relating to borrowings, amortisation of ancillary costs incurred in connection with arrangement of borrowings and lease finance charges. Ancillary costs incurred in connection with the arrangement of loans and borrowings are capitalised and amortised over the life of the borrowings. Finance costs are expensed as incurred unless they relate to qualifying assets. Qualifying assets are assets which take more than 12 months to get ready for their intended use or sale. Where funds are borrowed specifically for the acquisition, construction or production of a qualifying asset, the amount of borrowing costs capitalised is that incurred in relation to that borrowing, net of any interest earned on those borrowings. Borrowing costs that are not directly attributable to the acquisition, construction or production of qualifying assets are recognised in profit or loss using the effective interest method. Bank debt – secured The Group’s secured bank debt facilities comprise the following:  $650,000,000 revolving multi-currency loan facility maturing on 3 July 2023; and  $2,500,000 credit support facility (for the issue of letters of credit and bank guarantees). The debt facilities are supported by interlocking guarantees from most Australian and New Zealand-domiciled Group entities and secured by specific property mortgages (refer to Note 3.3). The debt facilities were amended and restated on 3 July 2020 and initially consisted of the $650,000,000 revolving multi-currency loan, a $100,000,000 non-revolving loan facility and a $2,500,000 credit support facility. In relation to the non-revolving loan facility, the Group repaid and cancelled $43,500,000 (2021: $56,500,000) of that facility during the year. Debt drawn under the loan facilities bears interest at the relevant inter-bank benchmark reference rate plus a margin of between 1.75% and 3.60% per annum. As at 30 June 2022, the Group had drawn $365,510,000 (2021: $476,428,000) under the loan facilities and $1,349,000 (2021: $1,225,000) under the credit support facility. Debt facility components subject to interest rate swaps used for hedging totalled $nil (2021: $nil) at 30 June 2022. A New Zealand-domiciled subsidiary has general loan facilities secured against a hotel property. The subsidiary had drawn NZ$22,234,000 (A$20,052,000) under the facility at 30 June 2022. The subsidiary, prior to 30 September 2021, was accounted as a joint venture as the Group owned a 16% interest in the subsidiary. The interest in the subsidiary increased to 70% effective from 30 September 2021. Other facilities A wholly-owned New Zealand-domiciled subsidiary has a general security facility in respect of certain bank guarantees issued in relation to obligations under lease arrangements. The general security facility obligations total NZ$2,784,000 (A$2,511,000) at 30 June 2022. Certain wholly-owned German-domiciled subsidiaries have a secured guarantee facility of €14,000,000 (A$21,248,000) for the issue of letters of credit and bank guarantee arrangements. The facility was extended during the financial year and expires on 31 May 2023. The facility is secured against cash held within certain wholly-owned German-domiciled subsidiaries. Guarantees supported under the facility bear interest at 1.15% per annum. At 30 June 2022, the Group had drawn €12,466,000 (A$18,919,000) under the facility. 81 EVENT Hospitality & Entertainment Limited – 2022 Annual Report N O T E S T O T H E F I N A N C I A L S T A T E M E N T S F O R T H E Y E A R E N D E D 3 0 J U N E 2 0 2 2 S E C T I O N 4 – C A P I T A L S T R U C T U R E A N D F I N A N C I N G 4.4 – LOANS, BORROWINGS AND FINANCING ARRANGEMENTS (continued) Current Interest bearing loans and borrowings Bank loans – secured Non-interest bearing loans and borrowings Loans from other companies – unsecured Non-current Interest bearing loans and borrowings Bank loans – secured Deferred financing costs Non-interest bearing loans and borrowings Loans from other companies – unsecured 4.5 – FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT 2022 $’000 2021 $’000 551 551 1,004 1,555 385,011 (1,540) 383,471 1,320 384,791 43,500 43,500 1,480 44,980 432,928 (3,081) 429,847 1,363 431,210 Derivative financial instruments From time to time, the Group uses derivative financial instruments to hedge its exposure to interest rate and foreign exchange risks arising from operating activities, investing activities and financing activities. In accordance with its treasury policy, the Group does not hold or issue derivative financial instruments for trading purposes. Derivative financial instruments are recognised at fair value within prepayments and other current assets. The gain or loss on remeasurement to fair value is recognised immediately in profit or loss. However, where derivatives qualify for hedge accounting, recognition of any resultant gain or loss depends on the nature of the item being hedged. The fair value of interest rate swaps is the estimated amount that the Group would receive or pay to terminate the swap at the reporting date, taking into account current interest rates and the creditworthiness of the swap counterparties. The fair value of forward exchange contracts is their quoted market price at the reporting date, being the present value of the quoted forward price. Investments designated as at FVOCI The Group holds a preference shareholding in Carlton Investments Limited, a company listed on the ASX. The Group has designated these investments as at FVOCI. All investments are initially recognised at cost, being the fair value of the consideration given and including acquisition charges associated with the investment. After initial recognition, investments, which are designated as at FVOCI, are measured at fair value. Investments designated as at FVOCI comprise marketable equity securities. For investments that are actively traded in organised financial markets, fair value is determined by reference to securities exchange quoted market bid prices at the close of business at reporting date. Dividends are recognised as income in profit or loss unless the dividend clearly represents a recovery of part of the cost of the investment. Other net gains and losses are recognised in other comprehensive income and are never reclassified to profit or loss. Equity investments as at FVOCI Investment in a listed company 2022 $’000 78 2021 $’000 78 Any reasonably possible change in the share price of this company would not have a material effect on the investment balance or the related revaluation reserve at the reporting date. 82 EVENT Hospitality & Entertainment Limited – 2022 Annual Report N O T E S T O T H E F I N A N C I A L S T A T E M E N T S F O R T H E Y E A R E N D E D 3 0 J U N E 2 0 2 2 S E C T I O N 4 – C A P I T A L S T R U C T U R E A N D F I N A N C I N G 4.5 – FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT (continued) Financial risks The Group’s exposure to financial risks, objectives, policies and processes for managing the risks including methods used to measure the risks, and the management of capital are presented below. The Group’s activities expose it to the following financial risks:    credit risk; liquidity risk; and market risk, including interest rate and foreign exchange risks. The Board has overall responsibility for the oversight of the risk management framework. Risk management policies are established to identify and analyse the risks faced by the Group, to set appropriate risk limits and controls, and to monitor risks and adherence to limits. Risk management policies and systems are reviewed regularly and modified as appropriate to reflect changes in market conditions and the Group’s activities. The Audit and Risk Committee oversees how management has established and monitors internal compliance and control systems and to ensure the appropriate and effective management of the above risks. The Audit and Risk Committee is assisted in its oversight role by the Internal Audit function. The Internal Audit function undertakes reviews of risk management controls and procedures in accordance with an annual plan approved by the Audit and Risk Committee. The results of these Internal Audit reviews are reported to the Audit and Risk Committee. Credit risk Credit risk arises from trade and other receivables outstanding, cash and cash equivalents, derivative financial instruments and deposits with banks and financial institutions. It is the risk of financial loss to the Group if a customer or counterparty to the financial instrument fails to meet its contractual obligations, and arises principally from the Group’s trade receivables. Information regarding the Group’s trade receivable balances is disclosed in Note 3.1. The Group’s exposure to credit risk is not considered material. The Group’s maximum exposure to credit risk at the reporting date was considered to approximate the carrying value of receivables at the reporting date. Investments and derivatives Investments of surplus cash and deposits and derivative financial instruments are with banks with high credit ratings. Given their high credit ratings, management does not expect any counterparty to fail to meet its obligations. At 30 June 2022, there were no significant concentrations of credit risk. The maximum exposure to credit risk is represented by the carrying amount of each financial asset, including derivative financial instruments, in the Statement of Financial Position. Guarantees All guarantees are in respect of obligations of subsidiaries, associates, joint ventures or joint operations in which the Group has an interest, and principally relate to operating lease arrangements. The Group’s operating lease commitments are disclosed in Note 3.9, and details of guarantees given by the parent entity are provided in Note 7.4. Security deposits Security deposits relate to the Group’s operating lease arrangements. Certain lease agreements require an amount to be placed on deposit, which should then be returned to the Group at the conclusion of the lease term. 83 EVENT Hospitality & Entertainment Limited – 2022 Annual Report N O T E S T O T H E F I N A N C I A L S T A T E M E N T S F O R T H E Y E A R E N D E D 3 0 J U N E 2 0 2 2 S E C T I O N 4 – C A P I T A L S T R U C T U R E A N D F I N A N C I N G 4.5 – FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT (continued) Liquidity risk Liquidity risk is the risk that the Group will not be able to meet its financial obligations as they fall due. The Group manages liquidity risk by continuously monitoring forecast and actual cash flows. The Group’s treasury function aims to maintain flexibility in funding by maintaining committed credit lines with a number of counterparties.

The objective of market risk management is to manage and control market risk exposures within acceptable parameters, whilst optimising the return. The Group uses derivative financial instruments such as interest rate swaps and forward exchange contracts to hedge exposures to fluctuations in interest rates and foreign exchange rates. Derivatives are used exclusively for hedging purposes and are not traded or used as speculative instruments. This is carried out under Board approved treasury policies. Hedge of net investment in foreign operations The portion of the gain or loss on an instrument used to hedge a net investment in a foreign operation, that is determined to be an effective hedge, is recognised in other comprehensive income and presented in equity in the foreign currency translation reserve. The ineffective portion is recognised immediately in profit or loss. Interest rate risk The Group manages interest rate exposures on borrowings in accordance with a Board approved treasury policy that specifies parameters for hedging including hedging percentages and approved hedging instruments. The policy specifies upper and lower hedging limits set for specific timeframes out to five years. These limits may be varied with the approval of the Board. At reporting date, the interest rate profile of the Group’s interest bearing financial instruments was: Fixed rate instruments Financial assets Financial liabilities Variable rate instruments Financial assets Financial liabilities 2022 $’000 2021 $’000 – (4,055) (4,055) – – – 72,384 (381,507) (309,123) 90,752 (476,428) (385,676) The Group manages interest rate risk in accordance with a Board approved treasury policy covering the types of instruments, range of protection and duration of instruments. The financial instruments cover interest rate swaps and forward rate agreements. Maturities of these instruments are up to a maximum of five years. Interest rate swaps and forward rate agreements allow the Group to raise long term borrowings at floating rates and swap a portion of those borrowings into fixed rates. The approved range of interest rate cover is based on the projected debt levels for each currency and reduced for each future year. There were no interest rate hedges at 30 June 2022 (2021: no interest rate hedges). The Group classifies interest rate swaps as cash flow hedges and recognises them at fair value in the Statement of Financial Position. The Group accounts for fixed rate financial assets and liabilities at fair value. At 30 June 2022, Group debt totalling $4,055,000 (2021: no fixed rate instruments) was subject to a fixed rate instrument and arrangements. The interest rate on the debt has been fixed at 2.29% through to October 2025. No reasonably possible change in prevailing interest rate arrangements on this debt would have a significant impact on the Income Statement in the current year. Foreign exchange risk The Group is exposed to currency risk on purchases, borrowings and surplus funds that are denominated in a currency other than the respective functional currencies of Group entities, primarily the Australian dollar (“AUD”), but also the New Zealand dollar (“NZD”), Euro (“EUR”) and Great British pound (“GBP”). Transactions undertaken by Group entities are primarily denominated in AUD, NZD, EUR and the US dollar (“USD”). 85 EVENT Hospitality & Entertainment Limited – 2022 Annual Report N O T E S T O T H E F I N A N C I A L S T A T E M E N T S F O R T H E Y E A R E N D E D 3 0 J U N E 2 0 2 2 S E C T I O N 4 – C A P I T A L S T R U C T U R E A N D F I N A N C I N G 4.5 – FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT (continued) The Group manages foreign currency exposures in accordance with a Board approved treasury policy that specifies parameters for hedging, including hedging percentages and approved hedging instruments. At any point in time, the Group may hedge up to 60% of “highly probable” foreign currency exposures and 100% of confirmed foreign currency exposures. Typically, foreign currency exposures are hedged with the utilisation of forward exchange contracts. The Group’s exposure to foreign currency risk in AUD equivalents where the currency differs to the functional currency of the controlled entity at the reporting date was as follows, based on notional amounts: Cash and cash equivalents Trade receivables Secured bank loans Trade payables Gross balance sheet exposure Forward exchange contracts NZD $’000 206 649 (101,010) (1,940) (102,095) – – 2022 EUR $’000 264 – – – 264 – – GBP $’000 USD $’000 292 – – – 292 – – 97 – – – 97 – – NZD $’000 8,274 135 (94,928) (2,863) (89,382) – – Net exposure (102,095) 264 292 97 (89,382) 2021 EUR $’000 GBP $’000 USD $’000 29 – – – 29 – – 29 305 – – – 305 – – 305 88 – – – 88 – – 88 Sensitivity analysis No reasonably possible change in prevailing foreign exchange rates would have a significant impact on the Income Statement or hedging reserve in the current or prior year. Hedging of net investment in foreign subsidiaries The Group’s NZD denominated bank loan is designated as a hedge of the foreign currency exposure to the Group’s net investment in its subsidiaries in New Zealand. The carrying amount of the loan at 30 June 2022 was $101,010,000 (2021: $94,928,000). A foreign exchange gain of $3,500,000 (2021: gain of $372,000) was recognised in equity on translation of the loan to AUD. Financial instruments fair value determination method grading Valuation methods for financial instruments carried at fair value are defined as follows:   Level 1: quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities; Level 2: inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly (i.e. as prices) or indirectly (i.e. derived from prices); and Level 3: inputs for the asset or liability that are not based on observable market data (unobservable inputs).  Investments designated as at FVOCI are classified as Level 1 financial instruments. Derivative financial instruments are classified as Level 2 financial instruments. 86 EVENT Hospitality & Entertainment Limited – 2022 Annual Report N O T E S T O T H E F I N A N C I A L S T A T E M E N T S F O R T H E Y E A R E N D E D 3 0 J U N E 2 0 2 2 S E C T I O N 5 – G R O U P C O M P O S I T I O N This section explains the composition of the Group. On the following pages, there are sections on businesses acquired during the year, a list of subsidiaries, investments in associates and joint ventures, and disclosures regarding interests in other entities including cinema partnership interests. 5.1 – BUSINESS COMBINATIONS Accounting policy Business combinations are accounted for using the acquisition method as at the date when control is transferred to the Group. Under the acquisition method, consideration transferred in a business combination is generally measured at fair value, as are the identifiable net assets acquired. Consideration transferred includes the fair value of any contingent consideration, and share- based payment awards of the acquiree that are required to be replaced in the business combination. The Group measures goodwill arising from the business combination at the acquisition date as the fair value of the consideration transferred, including the recognised amount of any non-controlling interest in the acquiree, less the net recognised amount (generally fair value) of the identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed. Any goodwill that arises is tested annually for impairment (refer to Note 3.6). If the consideration transferred is lower than the fair value of the net identifiable assets of the subsidiary acquired, the difference is recognised in profit or loss. A contingent liability of the acquiree is assumed in a business combination only if the liability represents a present obligation and arises from past events, and its fair value can be measured. The Group measures any non-controlling interest at its proportionate interest of the fair value of identifiable net assets of the acquiree. Transaction costs incurred by the Group in connection with a business combination, such as due diligence fees, legal fees and other professional costs, are expensed as incurred. Business combinations in the year ended 30 June 2022 The Group acquired the following business during the year: Rydges Latimer Holdings Limited Effective 30 September 2021, Noahs Hotels (N.Z.) Limited (“Noahs”), a wholly-owned subsidiary, acquired an additional 54% of Rydges Latimer Holdings Limited (“Latimer”) taking the total ownership interest in Latimer to 70%. Prior to the acquisition, the Group had owned a 16% interest in Latimer that had been acquired in August 2017 (refer also to Note 5.3). In addition:  Latimer includes two wholly-owned subsidiary companies, being Latimer Hotel Limited and PR Knight Limited. All three  companies were incorporated in New Zealand; and the Group has contractually agreed to a stepped acquisition of the remaining 30% interest in Latimer, which will occur in equal tranches at 30 September 2022 and 30 September 2023. The net consideration paid for the acquisition of 54% of the total share capital of Latimer was NZ$14,208,000 (A$13,614,000), comprised as follows (all amounts in Australian dollars): Net consideration paid for an additional equity interest in Latimer Less: cash acquired Payment to acquire shares in a non-controlling interest (net of cash acquired) 87 EVENT Hospitality & Entertainment Limited – 2022 Annual Report Fair value at acquisition date $’000 13,614 (1,030) 12,584 N O T E S T O T H E F I N A N C I A L S T A T E M E N T S F O R T H E Y E A R E N D E D 3 0 J U N E 2 0 2 2 S E C T I O N 5 – G R O U P C O M P O S I T I O N 5.1 – BUSINESS COMBINATIONS (continued) AASB 3 Business Combinations requires that the existing interest in Latimer be remeasured to its fair value, and the standard allows a period of 12 months for the remeasure process to occur. The Group has not yet completed the fair value process and, as a result, the existing book values within the Latimer companies have been utilised for consolidation purposes. The Group has provisionally recognised the fair value of the following identifiable assets and liabilities relating to this acquisition as follows (all amounts in Australian dollars): Net consideration for the equity increase in Latimer to 70% Deferred consideration for the remaining 30% interest Less: cash acquired Fair value of previously held 16% interest in Latimer Assets and liabilities acquired Property, plant and equipment Loans and borrowings Other assets and liabilities Deferred tax balance Non-controlling interest loan Total net value of identifiable assets and liabilities acquired Goodwill on acquisition (preliminary and subject to a fair value process) Fair value at acquisition date $’000 13,614 7,563 (1,030) 4,951 25,098 32,467 (21,735) (1,319) 262 (11,702) (2,027) 27,125 The goodwill is attributable to the trading reputation and other intangible assets which are not separately identifiable. Goodwill recognised is not expected to be deductible for income tax purposes. The Group incurred direct costs relating to this acquisition of $127,000 which were expensed in the Income Statement during the year ended 30 June 2022. The Income Statement for the year ended 30 June 2022 included revenue and a net profit of $8,940,000 and $685,000 respectively as a result of this acquisition. Had the acquisition occurred at the beginning of the year, it is estimated that the Income Statement would have included additional revenue and a net loss of approximately $2,787,000 and $2,000 respectively. There were no other material business combinations in the year ended 30 June 2022. Business combinations in the year ended 30 June 2021 Jucy Snooze Limited Effective 30 April 2021, Noahs, a wholly owned subsidiary, acquired 100% of Jucy Snooze Limited (“Snooze”), having previously acquired a 50% interest on 3 February 2020. The net consideration paid for the acquisition of the remaining 50% interest on 30 April 2021 was NZ$3,718,000 (A$3,460,000), comprised as follows (all amounts in Australian dollars): Equity interest in Snooze Shareholder loan receivable balances acquired Total consideration for the increase in interest in Snooze to 100% Adjustments to the purchase price for the initial 50% interest Net consideration paid on 30 April 2021 88 EVENT Hospitality & Entertainment Limited – 2022 Annual Report Fair value at acquisition date $’000 821 3,533 4,354 (894) 3,460 N O T E S T O T H E F I N A N C I A L S T A T E M E N T S F O R T H E Y E A R E N D E D 3 0 J U N E 2 0 2 2 S E C T I O N 5 – G R O U P C O M P O S I T I O N 5.1 – BUSINESS COMBINATIONS (continued) The adjustments to the purchase price for the initial 50% interest were certain adjustments in Noahs’ favour in respect of working capital and contingent consideration relating to earnings of a component of Snooze for the year ended 30 June 2020. AASB 3 Business Combinations requires that the existing interest in Snooze be remeasured to its fair value. The Group determined that there was no material difference between the equity accounted book value of its existing interest in Snooze and the fair value of that interest at 30 April 2021 and on that basis no adjustment has been recorded in this regard. The Group has recognised the fair value of the following identifiable assets and liabilities relating to this acquisition as follows (all amounts in Australian dollars): Total consideration for the increase in interest in Snooze to 100% Less: cash acquired Fair value (book value) of previously held interest in Snooze Assets and liabilities acquired Leasehold improvements Plant and equipment Software Capital work in progress Other assets and liabilities Total net value of identifiable assets and liabilities acquired Goodwill Fair value at acquisition date $’000 4,354 (79) 5,087 9,362 4,079 1,084 255 951 (1,562) 4,807 4,555 The goodwill is attributable to the trading reputation and other intangible assets which are not separately identifiable.

Associates are those entities in which the Group has significant influence, but not control or joint control, over the financial and operating policies. Significant influence is presumed to exist when the Group holds between 20% and 50% of the voting power of another entity. Interests in associates and joint ventures (see below) are accounted for using the equity method. They are recognised initially at cost, which includes transaction costs. Subsequent to initial recognition, the consolidated financial statements include the Group’s share of the profit or loss and other comprehensive income of equity accounted investees, until the date on which significant influence or joint control ceases. Unrealised gains arising from transactions with equity accounted investees are eliminated to the extent of the Group’s interest in the entity. Unrealised losses are eliminated in the same way as unrealised gains, but only to the extent that there is no evidence of impairment. Joint arrangements A joint arrangement is an arrangement of which two or more parties have joint control, in which the parties are bound by a contractual arrangement, and the contractual arrangement gives two or more of those parties joint control of the arrangement. The Group classifies its interests in joint arrangements as either joint operations or joint ventures depending on the Group’s rights to the assets and obligations for the liabilities of the arrangements. When making this assessment, the Group considers the structure of the arrangements, the legal form of any separate vehicles, the contractual terms of the arrangements and other facts and circumstances. The Group’s interests in joint operations, which are arrangements in which the parties have rights to the assets and obligations for the liabilities, are accounted for on the basis of the Group’s interest in those assets and liabilities. The Group’s interests in joint ventures, which are arrangements in which the parties have rights to the net assets, are equity accounted.

On the following pages, there are sections on share-based payments, director and executive disclosures and related party transactions. 6.1 – SHARE-BASED PAYMENTS The Group’s share-based payment arrangements include the Executive Performance Share Plan and the Executive Performance Rights Plan. Grants were made under the Executive Performance Share Plan from 2007 to 2013 inclusive. The Group conducted a review of its long term incentive (“LTI”) arrangements in 2013 and resolved that the existing performance share-based LTI should be replaced with a performance rights-based LTI. Shareholders approved the Executive Performance Rights Plan at the 2013 AGM. Grants have subsequently been made under the Executive Performance Rights Plan in February 2014, February 2015, February 2016, February 2017, February 2018, February 2019, February 2020, February 2021, September 2021 and June 2022. Accounting policy The fair value of performance rights granted under the Executive Performance Rights Plan is recognised as an employee expense over the period during which the employees become unconditionally entitled to shares in the Company. There is a corresponding increase in equity, being recognition of a share-based payments reserve. The fair value of performance rights granted is measured at grant date. To facilitate the operation of the Executive Performance Share Plan and Executive Performance Rights Plan, a third party trustee is used to administer the trust which holds shares in the Company allocated under the Executive Performance Share Plan or otherwise held or acquired on market in order to satisfy the Group’s future obligations under the Executive Performance Rights Plan. The trust is controlled by the Group and therefore its financial statements are included in the consolidated financial statements. The shares in the Group held by the trust are therefore shown as treasury shares (see Note 4.1). The Group incurs expenses on behalf of the trust. These expenses are in relation to administration costs of the trust and are recorded in the Income Statement as incurred. Performance rights are subject to performance hurdles. Performance rights are not recognised in the Statement of Financial Position, but are included within the weighted average number of shares issued as the denominator for determining diluted earnings per share. The Group measures the cost of the Executive Performance Rights Plan by reference to the fair value of the equity instruments at the date at which the instruments are granted. The fair value of performance rights granted is determined by an external valuer using a Binomial tree model and a Monte Carlo simulation model and using the assumptions detailed below. The fair value of the amount payable to employees in respect of share-based payment awards granted to employees, which can be settled in cash at the option of the company, is recognised as an expense with a corresponding increase in liabilities, over the period during which the employees unconditionally become entitled to payment. The liability is remeasured at each reporting date and at settlement date based on the fair value of the award. Any changes in the liability are recognised in profit or loss. Executive Performance Rights Plan The establishment of the Executive Performance Rights Plan was approved by shareholders at the 2013 Annual General Meeting. Employees receiving awards under the Executive Performance Rights Plan are those of a senior level and above (including the CEO). During the year ended 30 June 2022, performance rights subject to the Executive Performance Rights Plan Rules were issued pursuant to the Group’s LTI plan and the 2020 Recognition and Retention Incentive. Details regarding these incentive arrangements are set out below. 97 EVENT Hospitality & Entertainment Limited – 2022 Annual Report N O T E S T O T H E F I N A N C I A L S T A T E M E N T S F O R T H E Y E A R E N D E D 3 0 J U N E 2 0 2 2 S E C T I O N 6 – E M P L O Y E E B E N E F I T S A N D R E L A T E D P A R T Y T R A N S A C T I O N S 6.1 – SHARE-BASED PAYMENTS (continued) LTI arrangements Executives are awarded performance rights which will only vest on the achievement of certain performance hurdles and service conditions. An offer is generally made under the Executive Performance Rights Plan to executives each financial year and is based on individual performance as assessed by the annual appraisal process. If an executive does not sustain a consistent level of high performance, they will not be nominated for Executive Performance Rights Plan participation. Only executives who are able to directly influence the long term success of the Group participate in the Executive Performance Rights Plan. Performance rights do not carry the right to vote or to receive dividends during the Performance Period. An employee awarded performance rights is not legally entitled to shares in the Company before the performance rights under the plan vest, and during the vesting period the performance rights do not carry the right to vote or to receive dividends. Once the rights have vested, which is dependent on the Group achieving the applicable targets for the award, which may include earnings per share (“EPS”) and total shareholder return (“TSR”) targets, participants are issued one ordinary share in the Company for each vested performance right held. Award, vesting and the issue of ordinary shares under the plan are made for no consideration. 2020 Recognition and Retention Incentive Shareholders approved at the 2020 AGM a Recognition and Retention Incentive for the CEO, and incentives on similar terms have been granted to other key management personnel and senior executives under the 2020 Recognition and Retention Incentive. This award was an additional equity-based award designed to recognise the additional effort required from the CEO and other senior executives both during the COVID-19 response period and during the recovery period, and the importance of retaining the CEO and other senior executives during this critical period. Sixty per cent of the grant value vested following the release of the results for the year ended 30 June 2021, and the remainder will vest after the release of the results for the year ended 30 June 2022. The performance rights to be issued in satisfaction of the vested portion of the award will remain restricted until after the release of the results for the year ending 30 June 2023. Performance rights were issued on 20 September 2021 in satisfaction of the first tranche of the award.

No performance rights were granted during the year ended 30 June 2022 with TSR hurdles (2021: fair value of $6.99) for those rights that have TSR hurdles. The fair value of each performance right is estimated on the date of grant using a Binomial tree model for those rights that have EPS hurdles, and a Monte Carlo simulation model for those rights that have TSR hurdles with the following weighted average assumptions used for each grant: Dividend yield (per annum) Expected volatility Risk-free rate (per annum) Share price Expected life Granted 24 June 2022 Granted 18 February 2021 Granted 20 February 2020 Granted 21 February 2019 1.50% 39.24% 3.47% $13.62 2 years 1.99% 35.71% 0.21% $10.53 3 years 4.35% 20.00% 0.68% $12.40 3 years 4.15% 20.00% 1.62% $12.46 3 years The expected life of the performance rights is based on historical data and is not necessarily indicative of exercise patterns that may occur. The expected volatility reflects the assumption that the historical volatility is indicative of future trends, which may also not necessarily be the actual outcome.

The directors are of the opinion that provisions are not required in respect of these matters, as it is not probable that a future sacrifice of economic benefits will be required or the amount is not capable of reliable measurement at balance date. 7.2 – RECONCILIATION OF PROFIT/(LOSS) FOR THE YEAR TO NET CASH PROVIDED BY OPERATING ACTIVITIES Reconciliation of profit/(loss) for the year to net cash provided by operating activities Profit/(loss) for the year 53,322 (48,036) 2022 $’000 2021 $’000 Adjustments for: Depreciation and amortisation Impairment adjustments Profit on disposal of non-current assets Fair value increment on investment properties Equity accounted investment dividends Share of equity accounted investees’ net profit Profit on acquisition of an associate Share-based payments expense Receivables impairment adjustment Unrealised foreign exchange losses Net cash provided by operating activities before change in assets and liabilities Change in assets and liabilities adjusted for effects of consolidation of controlled entities acquired/disposed during the year: Decrease/(increase) in trade and other receivables (Increase)/decrease in inventories (Increase)/decrease in prepayments and other current assets (Increase)/decrease in deferred tax items Increase/(decrease) in income taxes payable Increase in trade and other payables Increase in provisions Decrease in other liabilities (Decrease)/increase in deferred revenue Increase in financing costs payable Net cash provided by operating activities 185,758 4,600 (24,610) (30) 510 (175) (660) 1,331 955 69 221,070 24,337 (2,258) (1,884) (25,731) 31,031 35,040 5,595 (152) (8,186) 1,045 279,907 186,627 5,923 (35,222) (6,950) 303 (690) – 1,490 (1,031) 171 102,585 (11,741) 4,695 1,642 19,094 (5,434) 15,509 3,240 (2,595) 18,509 2,633 148,137 Cash flows are included in the Statement of Cash Flows on a gross basis.

This matter is progressing. On 27 July 2022, Vue appeared before the High Court of Justice of England and Wales (“Court”) to seek an order granting permission to convene a meeting of certain secured lenders for the purpose of approving a Scheme of Arrangement (“Scheme”) pursuant to Part 26 of the United Kingdom Companies Act 2006.

Even if the Scheme becomes effective, it is Vue's position that it will enter administration proceedings under the UK Insolvency Act. The Group has obtained advice and is actively pursuing its legal options in relation to the Scheme including the related actions of Vue and its subsidiaries, its directors, secured lenders and current shareholders.
