Shareholders of HCI are referred to the announcement published by HCI

In terms of the November 2006 announcement, shareholders were advised
that the Fabvest transaction had become unconditional and that such
transaction would be implemented with effect from 1 December 2006,
resulting in the consolidation of HCI`s investments, directly and

purported reasons for such decision) and intends taking appropriate
legal action with a view to protecting its interests. This process is
underway and shareholders will be informed of material developments in
this regard from time to time.
