ASX RELEASE: 4 June 2021

Metalicity Successful in Court Hearing

Metalicity Limited (ASX:MCT) (“ Metalicity ” or “the Company ”) is pleased to advise that the Supreme Court of Western Australia has granted the orders sought by the Company in relation to the appointment of its Auditors Pitcher Partners.

The Company refers to its announcement dated 28 May 2021 and advises that late yesterday the application to the Supreme Court of Western Australia was heard to rectify the issues in relation to the resignation of Stantons International Audit and Consulting Pty Ltd (“ Stantons ”) as the Company’s auditor and the appointment of Pitcher Partners BA&A Pty Ltd (“ Pitchers ”) as the Company’s new auditor.

At the Company’s Annual General Meeting held on 26 November 2020 (“ 2020 AGM” ), the Company’s shareholders approved the appointment of Pitchers as the Company’s new auditor. The appointment of Pitchers was subject to Stantons obtaining the consent of the Australian Securities and Investments Commission (“ ASIC ”) to resign. The Company is aware that the consent of ASIC had not been obtained by Stantons prior to the 2020 AGM and that there were issues with Stantons’ procedural application to obtain the consent of ASIC for its resignation.

The Court made the orders sought by the Company, namely that pursuant to section 1322(4)(a) of the Corporations Act 2001 (Cth), that the resignation of Stantons and the appointment of Pitchers are not invalid and are effective from 26 November 2020, notwithstanding the delay in obtaining ASIC’s consent to Stantons’ resignation.

A copy of the orders accompanies this announcement. As set out in the orders, any person who claims that the making of the orders causes (or is likely to cause) them substantial injustice is entitled to apply to the Court to vary or discharge the orders within 28 days.

The Company has notified ASIC of the change in auditors and a copy of the Form 315 mailed to ASIC accompanies this announcement.

The Board confirms it does not consider this matter to be price sensitive due to its administrative nature.

Yours faithfully,

Nick Day

Company Secretary

This Announcement is approved by the Board of Metalicity Limited.
