Singapore Contract Update and Revised Date for Full Year Results

Further to the announcement released on 23 February 2023, regarding the Nanyang Technological University ("NTU") contract, Tribal received notification on 17 March 2023 that NTU has purported to terminate the contract and reserved its rights to claim damages.

Tribal rejects NTU's right to terminate and is considering its options regarding appropriate next steps. The contract requires the parties to participate in mediation in an attempt to achieve a resolution. A further update will be provided as and when appropriate.

Revised Date for Full Year Results

The Company now expects to release its audited results for the year ended 31 December 2022 on 24 March 2023.
