Lagos: 26th August 2021

NOTICE OF DELAY IN PUBLISHING THE AUDITED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MAY 2021

We hereby notify the Nigerian Exchange Limited ("NGX") and the investing public that due to circumstances occasioned by the COVID-19 pandemic which although has gradually been eased, there were and still exist unforeseen circumstances that have made it impossible for the Company to comply with the timeline to file its Audited Financial Statements for the period ended 31 May 2021 by the due date of 29 August 2021.

The delay is as a result of issues relating to the third wave of COVID-19 which has slowed down the reporting and audit process.

The reporting and the auditing process had progressed smoothly to the concluding phase before this decision became necessary, for the safety of the team with primary responsibility for the finalization and the issuance of the accounts.

Consequently, the Company requires three (3) weeks to finalize all actions required to issue its annual reports and accounts for the year ended 31 May 2021. The expected filing date will be on or before 24 September 2021.

Dated this 26th day of August 2021

Jacqueline Ezeokwelume

Company Secretary/Legal Adviser
