For immediate release
26 November 2024
Change of Financial Year End to 31 December
European Metals Holdings Limited (ASX
& AIM: EMH, OTCQX: EMHXY and EMHLF) ("European Metals" or the
"Company") wishes to advise that
the Board of Directors has resolved to change the Company's
financial year end from 30 June to 31 December.
The Company holds a 49% equity
interest in Geomet s.r.o., an entity that controls the mineral
exploration licenses awarded by the Czech State over the Cinovec
Lithium Project and has been granted a preliminary mining permit by
the Ministry of Environment and the Ministry of Industry. The
change will align the Company's financial year end with that of
Geomet, which has a 31 December financial year end.
The Company believes that this
alignment of financial year ends will result in a more efficient
and cost effective statutory financial reporting and auditing
process, and in more seamless governance and compliance between all
entities.
The change is made in accordance
with Section 323D(2A) of the Corporations Act 2001 (Cth) and the
Company confirms that:
- its last financial year
ended on 30 June 2024,
- it will have a six-month
Transitional Financial Year ("TFY"), beginning on 1 July 2024 and
ending on 31 December 2024, and
- thereafter it will adopt
a twelve-month financial year, with the first commencing on 1
January 2025 and ending on 31 December
2025.
The change in financial year
requires the Company to, in respect of the TFY:
- lodge audited financial
statements by 31 March 2025, and
- hold its annual general
meeting for the TFY by no later than 31 May 2025.
Thereafter the Company will publish
unaudited (reviewed) interim results for the six months ending 30
June by no later than mid-September and audited final results for
the twelve months ending 31 December by 31 March in each calendar
year.
This announcement has been approved
for release by the Board.
