These discussions have been ongoing to the present date. However, we have been informed that on 30 July 2024 INL Investment Limited ("INL") has proceeded to appoint a liquidator to the Company's New Zealand subsidiary, East Imperial Limited, having first exercised its security over the subsidiary's intermediate holding company. In the circumstances the Board will now proceed with the appointment of a Liquidator to the Company and hereby gives notice of the intention to cancel the Company's listing on the Equity Shares (Transition) category of the Official List ("Cancellation"). A further announcement in relation to Cancellation will be made in due course.
