"The past two and a half years have been a challenging time for Embark particularly with the impact of Covid lockdowns on our operations in 2020 and 2021. However, with a return to more normal operations post Covid and the profitability of the Australian business, Embark is in a position to reward shareholders with this special dividend. Going forward we intend to reinstate regular dividend payments starting in financial/calendar year 2023," Mr. Stevens said. This announcement has been authorised for release by Embark Education Limited's Board of Directors.
