December 2009. In terms of rule 3.4(b) of the Listings Requirements of the JSE
Limited, a listed company is required to publish a trading statement as soon as
a reasonable degree of certainty exists that the financial results for the next
reporting period to be reported on will differ by at least 20% from those of the
previous corresponding period.
Shareholders are advised that the headline earnings per share ("HEPS) and
earnings per share ("EPS") for the period ended 31 December 2009 are expected to
