Leader Education Limited (stock code: 1449) has announced that its current auditor, BDO Limited, will retire at the conclusion of the annual general meeting scheduled for 24 February 2026. The retirement follows the inability to reach an agreement on the audit fee for the financial year ending 31 August 2026.

Leader Education Limited intends to appoint Jon Gepsom CPA Limited as the new auditor, subject to shareholder approval at the forthcoming annual general meeting and continuing until the next annual general meeting. The board’s assessment concluded that the new auditor meets requirements such as relevant industry experience, independence, and appropriate resources.

The register of members’ closure period has been adjusted to 16 February 2026 through 24 February 2026, during which time no share transfers will be processed. Shareholders intending to participate in the annual general meeting must submit transfer documents by 4:30 p.m. on 13 February 2026. All other details in the earlier announcement remain unchanged, and a circular providing further information will be dispatched in due course.
