RE: SEQUOIA FINANCIAL GROUP LIMITED – REQUEST FOR TRADING HALT

Pursuant to ASX Listing Rule 17.1, Sequoia Financial Group Limited (ASX: SEQ) ( Sequoia ) requests an immediate trading halt be granted by ASX Limited (ASX) with respect to its fully paid ordinary shares.

2. Duration of the trading halt – Sequoia expects the trading halt will last until it makes an announcement to the ASX concerning the acquisition, which it expects to make before the commencement of trading on Wednesday 7 August 2019.

3. Termination of the trading halt – Sequoia anticipates the trading halt will cease upon the commencement of normal trading on Wednesday 7 August 2019.

4. No reason – Sequoia is not aware of any reason why the trading halt should not be granted.

5. Further information – none.

Yours sincerely,

Hasaka Martin Company Secretary
