At that time, Forvis Mazars indicated that they expected the audit to be concluded no later than 13 March 2026. As anticipated, the Company's shares were temporarily suspended from listing and trading from 2 March 2026 until the audit is concluded and the 2025 annual report and accounts are published.\n \nThe Company has continued to work with its auditor to complete the audit as soon as possible. The Board is therefore disappointed to report that Forvis Mazars has requested additional time to finish its audit procedures for FY25. The Company was informed this morning that its 2025 annual report and accounts will be published by 23 March 2026.\n \nAs of today, the Company has not been told of any material audit issues affecting the Group's consolidated financial statements.\n \nAs previously communicated, in respect of the year ending 31 October 2026 (\"FY26\"), the Company confirms that the year-to-date performance is in line with expectations.\n \nENQUIRIES:\n \n\n\n\n\nME Group International plc\n\n\n+44 (0) 1372 453 399\n\n\n\n\nVlad Crasneanscki, Deputy CEO\n\n\[email protected]\n\n\n\n\nStéphane Gibon, CFO\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nHudson Sandler\nWendy Baker / Nick Moore\n \n\n\n+44 (0) 20 7796 4133\n [email protected]\n\n\n\n\n \n \nNOTES TO EDITORS\n \nME Group International plc (LSE: MEGP) is an international market leader in automated self-service equipment aimed at the consumer market, with over 48,000 vending units currently in operation.\n \nThe Group operates, sells and services a wide range of instant-service vending equipment across 16 countries in its key regions of Continental Europe, the UK & Republic of Ireland and Asia Pacific.
