According to a notice from Ever Reach GP (03616), the board of directors has decided to establish a special investigation committee, composed of all independent non-executive directors, to investigate issues related to prepayments. In addition, the company has engaged an independent third-party professional institution to conduct an independent investigation into prepayment issues. As of the date of this announcement, the independent investigation is still ongoing.
Furthermore, as disclosed in the company's announcement dated August 12, 2024, PricewaterhouseCoopers (PwC) has resigned as the company's auditor, effective from August 9, 2024. The company is currently seeking a suitable replacement to fill the temporary vacancy left by PwC's resignation.
In accordance with Listing Rules 13.49(6) and 13.48(1), the company must publish the interim results for the six-month period ending on June 30, 2024 (interim results for 2024), within two months after the end of that six-month period (by August 31, 2024, or earlier), and send the interim report for the six-month period ending on June 30, 2024 (interim report for 2024), to its shareholders within three months after the end of that six-month period (by September 30, 2024, or earlier). Due to the aforementioned circumstances and the pending publication of the full-year 2023 results and distribution of the 2023 annual report, the company was unable to publish the 2024 interim results and send the 2024 interim report within the specified timeframe in accordance with the Listing Rules. The delayed publication of the 2024 interim results and the delayed sending of the 2024 interim report will constitute violations of Listing Rules 13.49(6) and 13.48(1) respectively.
In addition, the company's shares will continue to be suspended.
