PROPOSED CHANGE OF AUDITORS
This announcement is made by the board (“ Board ”) of directors (“ Directors ”) of Brockman Mining Limited (the “ Company ”) pursuant to Rule 13.51(4) of the Rules Governing the Listing of Securities on The Stock Exchange of Hong Kong Limited.
The Board announces that PricewaterhouseCoopers (“ PwC ”) has resigned as the auditors of the Company and its subsidiaries (the “ Group ”) with effect from 7 January 2019, as the Company and PwC could not reach an agreement on the audit fee for the financial year ending 30 June 2019. The Board has resolved to nominate Ernst & Young Australia (“ EYA ”) as the new auditors of the Group.
The Company is incorporated under the laws of Bermuda and to the knowledge of the Board there is no requirement under the laws of Bermuda for the resigning auditor to confirm to the Company whether or not there is any circumstance connected with their resignation which they consider should be brought to the attention of the Company’s members and creditors. PwC has therefore not issued such confirmation.
The Board and the audit committee of the Company has confirmed that there is no disagreement between PwC and the Company (save for the said audit fee), and there is no other matter in respect of the change of auditors that need to be brought to the attention of the shareholders of the Company.
Pursuant to the Bye-laws of the Company, the Company shall convene a special general meeting (“ SGM ”) to pass an ordinary resolution to appoint EYA as the new auditors of the Group to fill the casual vacancy following the resignation of PwC and to hold office until the conclusion of the next annual general meeting of the Company.
