The Company and BDO LLP, the Company's auditors, have agreed additional time is needed to finalise the preliminary unaudited financial results for the year ended 30 June 2023 (the FY 2023 Results) and related audited processes. The Company will now publish its FY 2023 Results on 15 September 2023 and not on 12 September 2023, as originally communicated to the market.
The Company emphasises that the delay arises from undertaking the ordinary audit process and not as a result of any concerns relating to the FY 2023 Results.
