Webis Holdings plc
("Webis" or the "Company")
Delay in publication of the Annual Report and Consolidated
Financial Statements for the year ended 31 May 2020 and Trading
Update
The board of Webis hereby notifies shareholders that the
completion of the audit of the accounts for the Company, for the
year ended 31 May 2020 (the "Accounts") are delayed due to a
Covid-19 related issue. Unfortunately, one of the Company's US
bankers is suffering from a considerable backlog as a result of the
pandemic and is unlikely to be able to provide the verification
required to complete the audit by 30 November 2020. The Board is
confident that the verification is merely a matter of procedure
only and will occasion no change to the Accounts which are
anticipated to contain an unqualified audit report. Accordingly,
the Company has agreed with AIM an extension to 28 February 2021
for the publication deadline of its Accounts. Every effort is being
made to complete the Accounts as soon as possible and they will be
published via RNS thereafter.
Meanwhile, the board of Webis provides the following unaudited
trading update for the year-ended 31 May 2020: -
