CHANGE OF AUDITOR

PERTH, AUSTRALIA: Orbital Corporation Ltd ('Orbital UAV', 'the Company') advises that the Company has received approval from the Australian Securities and Investments Commission ('ASIC') to change its auditors.

Accordingly, the Company has now accepted the resignation of Ernst & Young ('EY') and the consent of PricewaterhouseCoopers ('PwC') to its appointment as the Company's auditor.

EY had been the Company's external auditor for a period of 10 years and a review of external auditors was considered appropriate as Orbital UAV enters its next growth phase.

The Board's decision to change auditors was made following a consultative process. The Board chose PwC on the basis of their reputation and experience.

In accordance with section 327C of the Corporations Act 2001, a resolution will be placed at the 2019 Annual General Meeting to ratify the appointment of PwC as the Company's auditor.

The Board would like to take this opportunity to thank EY for their past assistance and professional services to the Company.
