Embraer announced today that SIAEP, a subsidiary of SIA Engineering Company Limited (“SIAEC”), is the first Embraer Authorized Service Center in the Asia-Pacific region to perform maintenance, repair, and overhaul services for Embraer's E-Jets E2 family of aircraft. SIAEP has been an authorized service center in Asia-Pacific for Embraer's first-generation E-Jets since 2017. SIAEP has three hangars located in Clark, Philippines.

"SIAEP has been a key partner for Embraer in the region in the last years. With this new agreement, SIAEP becomes even more strategic for the future of our company in the region, as the E2 fleet grows. We are very pleased with this step ahead on our long-term partnership", said Mr. Frank Stevens, Vice President of Global MRO Centers for Embraer Services & Support.

Jeremy Yew, SIAEC's Senior Vice President Base Maintenance, said, "We are delighted to extend our existing partnership with Embraer and play a key role in supporting their growth in the Asia-Pacific region. We look forward to providing quality and efficient base maintenance services to the E2 fleet at our facility in Clark."

The growing Embraer Services & Support footprint is an important development of Embraer's expansion strategy in the Asia Pacific region. Embraer's E-Jets fleet in Asia Pacific, comprising both the first-generation E-Jets and the E-Jets E2 are operated by airlines in Singapore, Australia, India, Myanmar, Japan and China. Scoot has a firm order of nine E190-E2 jets - two have commenced flights since May this year, with more to follow. The subsidiary of Singapore Airlines (SIA) is the first E-Jet E2 operator in Southeast Asia. Also, Virgin Australia announced a firm order for eight E190-E2 in August this year, with deliveries scheduled to start from the second half of 2025.

The partnership is not expected to have a material impact on the net tangible assets per share or the earnings per share of the SIAEC Group for the financial year ending 31 March 2025. None of the Directors and controlling shareholders of SIAEC have any interest, direct or indirect, in the partnership other than through their shareholdings (if any) in SIAEC.
