Debt Reduction and Equity Raising Initiatives
As part of its financial restructuring, RLF AgTech has entered into a Second Deed of Variation with its lenders to defer repayment of deferred debts, significantly improving cash flow.

The company has appointed Paul Clausen as General Manager for RLF Australia Pty Ltd to spearhead development efforts within the region, targeting key agricultural markets through training and distribution agreements.
In international markets, RLF AgTech exceeded revenue expectations in China, achieving a 4% increase above budgeted figures. The company continues to build its customer base in China and roll out new products, setting the foundation for further expansion.
Regulatory and Shareholder Updates
RLF AgTech retracted the results of its recent field trials due to non-compliance with ASX Listing Rules; thus, investors are advised not to rely on those results. The company has made necessary amendments and published a revised announcement.
The company remains focused on establishing distribution networks, executing operational strategies, and fostering an innovative approach to plant nutrition within the agricultural sector.
