Renewal of Cautionary Announcement
Shareholders are referred to the 'Business update on legal actions, Event of Default, proposed
debt restructuring, rationale for a capital raise and Cautionary Announcement' ("Cautionary
Announcement") released on SENS on 12 May 2022, and the subsequent renewal of cautionary
announcements, the last of which is dated 16 January 2024. Shareholders are further referred
to the 'Quarterly Progress Report - 31 December 2023' announcement released on SENS on
14 December 2023 (and using the terms defined therein unless otherwise stated) wherein
Afristrat advised, inter alia, that:
- the Company has been unable to make additional progress with regards to its restructuring
initiatives process due to its Suspension and the Liquidation Application. The restructuring
initiatives process, which included an offer to holders of securities, was expected to be
resumed once the Suspension is lifted and the judgement regarding the Liquidation
Application has been delivered;
- the going concern assessment performed by the Board has indicated that the Group is
unable to continue as a going concern;
- the placing of the Group under business rescue is not possible; and
- the Board will continue to wait for judgement of the Application before acting on the
conclusions reached in its assessment.
As set out in the 'Update on Liquidation Application Filed by Ordinary Shareholder'
announcement released on SENS on 21 February 2024, Afristrat advised, inter alia, that on
20 February 2024 judgement was handed down by the High Court of South Africa, Gauteng
Division, Pretoria ("Court") and the Liquidation Application was dismissed with costs.
The conclusions reached on the aforementioned going concern assessment are unaffected by
the judgment.
Accordingly, shareholders are advised to continue exercising caution when dealing in the
Company's securities until a further announcement is made.
