Full year results
Michael Hill International Limited (ASX/NZX: MHJ) intends to release its full year results to 30
June 2019 prior to market opening on Friday 16 August 2019.

An analyst briefing on the results is scheduled to be held at 10am (Brisbane, Qld time) on Friday
16 August 2019.

Change to financial reporting calendar
The Company currently uses a 12 month calendar for statutory reporting purposes (1 July to 30
June). The Company intends to adopt a 52 week retail calendar year, which is typically used in
the retail sector.

The change to a retail calendar will apply from the commencement of the Company’s next
financial year. In future years the Company’s financial year will end on the last Sunday in June,
with the first three financial quarters each consisting of 13 weeks with the remaining quarter
being 13 or 14 weeks as required. The Company’s current financial year (FY19) will end on
Sunday 30 June 2019. The Company’s next financial year (FY20) will commence on Monday 1
July 2019 and will end on Sunday 28 June 2020.

Company to become an NZX Foreign Exempt Issuer
The Company also advises that it intends to comply with the NZX Listing Rules dated 1 January
2019 (‘New NZX Listing Rules’) from 1 July 2019 (the ‘Transition Date’). From the Transition
Date, the Company will be an NZX Foreign Exempt Issuer and its ordinary shares will be quoted
as an NZX Foreign Exempt Issuer.

Since mid-2016, the Company has been admitted to the Official List of the ASX Limited (‘ASX’)
and has also been listed on the NZX Main Board as a Dual Listed Issuer. The Company’s
ordinary shares are quoted on both the ASX and the NZX Main Board.

As a Dual Listed Issuer, the Company is not required to comply with certain NZX Listing Rules on
the basis that the analogous ASX Listing Rules will prevail (as set out in Appendix 17 to the NZX
Listing Rules dated 1 October 2017).

The New NZX Listing Rules introduce a new framework for facilitating the listing of overseas
companies and disestablish the Dual Listed Issuer category. As a result, the Company has
determined to instead be listed as an NZX Foreign Exempt Issuer, which is a listing category
available to issuers that are already listed on recognised exchanges.

As an NZX Foreign Exempt Issuer, the Company will be deemed to comply with all of the New
NZX Listing Rules so long as it maintains its ASX listing, its ordinary shares remain quoted on the
ASX, and it complies with certain requirements prescribed by the NZX Listing Rules. The
Company’s ordinary shares will continue to be quoted on both the ASX and the NZX Main
Board.

Details for the full year results webcast/conference call on 16 August 2019 will be confirmed
nearer the time.
