CIPC have informed investigation participants that:

* A Media Release is due out in the very near future – now expected during this week * Simultaneously, the release of the CIPC Report on the investigation of Nova and the close-down of the PSPC industry will also take place

You can visit the CIPC Notices page at www.cipc.co.za/?page_id=2911 to keep a look out for media release

Whether or not the Interim Report will be made public and/or published in the above site remains to be seen

It is not clear at this stage if these releases will be the “final” investigation outcome or if they will be subject to the previously expected “thirty day consideration period” (by the investigation participants) to be followed by the review meeting with subsequent Final Report to be released thereafter

It is to be hoped that the release will indeed take place, that there will not be any last minute hitches and that at last, Sharemax investors will get some positive (preferably, VERY POSITIVE) news regarding return of their money after all the years of waiting
