NOTICE OF CHANGE IN FINANCIAL YEAR END

The change in financial year-end post March 2019, will result in a 9-month financial year from 1 April 2019 to 31 December 2019. Thereafter, 31 December will become the new Accounting Reference Date and a normal 12-month financial year will resume.
It is envisaged that the change in the financial year-end will improve the efficiency of the Company's financial reporting.
