GetSwift Provides Update on Australian Civil Proceedings

GetSwift Technologies Limited ("GetSwift" or the "Corporation"; NEO: “GSW”), a leading provider of last mile SaaS logistics technology and services, wishes to provide an update with respect to the Australian civil proceedings involving GetSwift Limited, the Corporation’s wholly-owned operating subsidiary (“GSW”), described in the Corporation’s final prospectus dated January 4, 2021 (the “Prospectus”).

The parties to the class action proceeding have completed mediation but were unable to reach any settlement and are now preparing for trial. A hearing on the question of liability has not yet been scheduled and the Corporation does not anticipate that such hearing will occur before September 2021. GSW and the other defendants are vigorously defending the proceeding.

GSW was successful in its appeal lodged on September 23, 2020 with the Full Federal Court of Australia. All three judges agreed that the class action should be re-allocated to another Judge, who was not involved in the trial in the ASIC proceeding, and the class action proceeding has now been allocated to Justice Yates.

Judgment in the matter of Australian Securities and Investments Commission v GetSwift Limited & others Federal Court of Australia VID 146 of 2019 (the “ASIC proceeding”) remains reserved, and is expected to be issued in due course. Following allocation of the class action proceeding to His honour Justice Yates, judgment in the ASIC proceeding may be issued at any time prior to or after the conclusion of the class action proceeding.
