CHANGE OF AUDITOR
– MANDATORY AUDIT FIRM ROTATION
Grit Real Estate Income Group
Limited, a leading Pan-African real estate company focused on
investing in, developing and actively managing a diversified
portfolio of assets underpinned by predominantly US Dollar and Euro
denominated long-term leases with high quality multi-national
tenants, announces that PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP ("PwC") has
resigned as the Group's auditor and the Board of Grit has approved
the appointment of MacIntyre Hudson LLP (”MHA”) with Baker Tilly CI
Audit Limited ("BTCI") as the Group's new lead auditor.
MHA is registered in England as
statutory auditors and are independent UK members of Baker Tilly
International.
BTCI will conduct the audit of the
Group's financial statements for the financial year to 30 June 2025
and a proposal to re-appoint them as auditors of the Group will be
subject to the approval of shareholders at the 2025 Annual General
Meeting.
PwC was appointed as the Group’s
external Auditors in 2018, with their first audit being the
2017/18
Annual Report and Accounts. The UK
and Mauritius Codes of Corporate Governance (“the Code”) recommend
a mandatory rotation of audit firms of listed companies after a set
period, which in the case of the Mauritius Code, amounts to seven
years. The Company consequently undertook an external tender
process for the audit of the Annual Report and Accounts for the
year ending30 June 2025.
We thank PWC for their services
over this time. PwC has confirmed to the Company that there are no
matters connected with their ceasing to hold office that need to be
brought to the attention of the members or creditors of the Company
for the purposes of section 273 of The Companies (Guernsey) Law
2008.
