METRICS INCOME OPPORTUNITIES TRUST (MOT)

The suspension of trading in the securities of Metrics Income Opportunities Trust will be lifted immediately following lodgement of its audited financial statements.

On 2 October 2026, The Trust Company (RE Services) Limited released the final audited financial report for the 2026 financial year. The NTA backing of the Fund's units will now be published monthly instead of daily, in compliance with ASX Listing Rule 4.12.

The company releases its 2026 full year statutory accounts and appendix 4G.

On 28 September 2026, the company requested the suspension of its securities under Listing Rule 17.2. MOT has not submitted its audited financial statements since, resulting in ongoing suspension under Listing Rule 17.5 until such statements are lodged and reinstatement is deemed appropriate.

The company has suspended its distribution reinvestment plan effective immediately. During this suspension, distributions will be paid in cash to unitholders according to the Fund's constitution. The unit registry will notify unitholders lacking bank account records. The Responsible Entity will announce when the suspension ends, allowing those who wish to reinvest distributions to do so unless they notify the unit registry otherwise. This decision reflects current market conditions and aims to benefit all unitholders of the Fund.

The company releases its updated notice of dividend or distribution.

The company faces a delay in releasing its 2026 audited financial report, leading to a temporary suspension of trading in its units. KPMG, the auditor, will not provide its opinion by the expected date. Consequently, the publication of net asset values and fund applications is also suspended.

On 31 August 2026, the company announced its Appendix 4E Preliminary Final Report for the financial year ending June 30, 2026, pending KPMG's audit. The Fund's net tangible asset (NTA) backing is estimated at $1.93 per unit, down from $2.15, a decrease of 22c (10.08% of NTA). The decline is attributed to its feeder status and increased provisions for potential credit losses, amidst revised valuations of private equity and commercial real estate investments. The audited report is due by September 30, 2026.

Metrics Income Opportunities Trust's securities are suspended from quotation under Listing Rule 17.2 at MOT's request, pending an announcement. Suspension will last until either the end of the requested period or the announcement's market release, unless ASX decides otherwise.
