Metroglass update on Victorian COVID-19 restrictions

Market Release NZX: MPG, ASX: MPP 5 August 2020 Metroglass COVID-19 update - Victoria, Australia Metroglass today provided an update on the impact of the Victorian Government's latest restrictions to prevent the spread of COVID-19. Australian Glass Group's Melbourne operations to remain open The Victorian Government has announced additional COVID-19 Stage 4 restrictions for a six-week period beginning at midnight this Friday (1). While further guidance on the restrictions is still being released, Australian Glass Group's (AGG) Melbourne based plant is expected to continue operating during this period. For several months, AGG has had strict operating guidelines in place to help our staff, contractors, suppliers and customers stay safe. These initiatives include working from home where possible, social distancing when on site, the use of face masks and regular cleaning schedules. AGG is reviewing its COVID-19 safety plan to ensure full compliance with the most recent Government requirements. The Victorian Government restrictions allow for a reduced number of workers on both residential and commercial construction sites. Whilst we expect construction work and demand for glass products in metropolitan Melbourne to reduce over the next six weeks, activity in regional Victoria and interstate is expected to continue largely unaffected. This continues to be an evolving situation and further updates will be made in due course should the operating situation move materially from this position.
