Evidence from the filing

  • The correction increases the Cash Settlement Amount from R1,119.50 to R1,195.00, ensuring noteholders receive the accurate value agreed upon at the trade date.

    “The Announcement incorrectly states that the Cash Settlement Amount is R1,119.50 when the correct Cash Settlement Amount is R1,195,00.”

  • The issuer has proactively rectified a typographical error to maintain transparency and accuracy in the settlement process for the NKYIIE instrument.

    “The corrected Cash Settlement Amount reflects what was agreed with Noteholders on the Trade Date and the change simply corrects a minor typographical error.”

  • The requirement to issue a correction SENS regarding the Cash Settlement Amount indicates a failure in internal reporting controls, which raises concerns regarding the accuracy of financial disclosures for structured products.

    “A minor technical error has been identified in relation to the SENS announcement for the above published by the JSE on 13 April 2026 (the "Announcement"), regarding the Cash Settlement Amount payable to Noteholders in respect of the Autocalls on their exercise on 10 April 2026.”

  • The discrepancy between the initial and corrected settlement amounts creates potential confusion for noteholders, introducing unnecessary administrative friction and operational risk in the settlement process.

    “The Announcement incorrectly states that the Cash Settlement Amount is R1,119.50 when the correct Cash Settlement Amount is R1,195,00.”
