The PAS Group Limited provided the following update on the operational impacts of COVID-19 on its business. The impact and scale of COVID-19 continues to be unknown and to date the Company has maintained its compliance with the Government's "social distancing" health measures and the restrictions on public gatherings whilst much of the nation has been asked to restrict their movements to a minimum. The Company fully supports the Australian Government's efforts to curtail the spread of COVID-19. Consequently, The company can no longer guarantee the health and safety of its staff and customers and PAS has no choice but to temporarily suspend all operations of its bricks-and-mortar stores across Australia with effect from close of business on 27 March 2020. The company's New Zealand stores have already closed pursuant to the directive of the New Zealand Government. The Company's Review concessions in Myer will remain open offering limited services. Online stores across all brands will also remain open and our customers are encouraged to continue to shop across the company's digital channels. All employees affected by the store closures and a large number of support office staff will be stood down whilst the Company takes the necessary steps to reduce costs of doing business. This decision has not been made lightly and in recent days the company have seen a number of organizations across the retail sector forced to take similar action. The Company is not in a position to provide a reliable estimate of the financial impacts of these events.
