Response to SGX Query on second quarter financial results to 31 December 2021

The Board of Directors (the "Board") of AusGroup Limited (the "Company" or "Group") would like to respond to the query from the Singapore Exchange Securities Trading Limited (the "SGX-ST") regarding the second quarter financial results to

31 December 2021 released on 9 February 2022. The Company sets out below its response to the query:

We refer to the Company's second quarter financial results for the period ended 31 December 2021.

We note that the Group is in a net current liabilities position of AU$5.1m, mainly due to its Multi Currency Notes ("MCN") of AU$40.6m maturing on 3 December 2022. Please elaborate further on how the Group intends to repay or refinance the MCN, given that the Group currently only has AU$11.8m in cash.

Company's response to SGX-ST question

As disclosed on page 23 of the quarterly financial statements to 31 December 2021, "The Group is focused on options to reduce and/or restructure debt prior to the maturity dates in 2022 and 2023 and bolster working capital to support the expansion of services to its clients. The capital management options being pursued by the Group to efficiently manage its working capital requirements and debt obligations include: non-core asset/business sales; financing secured by core assets; equity injection and debt facilities."

The Group will pursue all of these options to enable the Group to repay, partly repay and/or refinance the MCN debt obligation and we will provide more information when these options reach a stage that they become disclosable events.
