Star Metro - Alset AI Announces Delay in Filing Audited Annual Financial Statements

The Annual Financial Filings will not be filed before the Filing Deadline due to various unforeseen delays in the completion of the Company's audit of the Annual Financial Filings. The unforeseen delays are due to the fact that the Company recently changed its bookkeeper, and the file transition has caused delays in completing its audit in advance of the deadline. Consequently, the auditors require additional time to complete its audit.

The Company is working diligently with its auditors and anticipates that it will be in a position to file the Annual Financial Filings by March 11, 2025.

Pursuant to National Policy 12-203 Management Cease Trade Orders ("NP 12-203") the Company has voluntarily applied to the applicable securities regulatory authorities and received a management cease trade order related to the Company's securities to be imposed against the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer of the Company to trade securities of the Company (the "MCTO"). The MCTO will be in effect until the Annual Financial Filings are filed.

All other securityholders will still be able to trade in the securities of the Company in accordance with applicable securities laws. Until the Annual Financial Filings are filed and the MCTO has been revoked, the Company intends to continue to satisfy the provisions of the alternative information guidelines specified in NP 12-203 by issuing default status reports in the form of further press releases every two weeks.
