UPDATE REGARDING LITIGATION MATTERS PREVIOUSLY DISCLOSED IN THE 2023
ANNUAL FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Shareholders are referred to the disclosure contained in the Company's annual financial
statements for the year ended 31 August 2023 ("2023 AFS") regarding certain ongoing
litigation matters involving, inter alia, Helios Oryx Limited and the Namibia Revenue
Agency ("NamRA").
The board of directors of Trustco ("Board") hereby provides an update to shareholders
regarding these matters.
1. Helios matter
The litigation involving Helios Oryx Limited, as previously disclosed in the 2023 AFS,
remains ongoing and has not been finally determined.
The matter remains subject to legal process and further adjudication. Certain proceedings,
related processes and factual disputes remain before the courts, and the issues in dispute
have accordingly not reached final determination.
Trustco continues to engage with the matter through its legal advisers and will pursue and
defend its rights in accordance with the applicable legal processes.
2. NamRA matter
The matter involving NamRA, as previously disclosed in the 2023 AFS, also remains
ongoing and has not been finally determined.
The Company continues to engage with NamRA in relation to the issues in dispute,
including through legal and other formal processes where applicable. The matter remains
subject to further engagement and/or adjudication and accordingly has not reached final
determination.
3. General
The Board notes that both matters were previously disclosed in the 2023 AFS as litigation
matters affecting the Company.
This announcement is intended to provide shareholders with an update on the status of
those matters. The matters remain live, are still subject to ongoing legal and/or regulatory
processes, and no inference should be drawn that either matter has been finally resolved,
determined or quantified for purposes of final outcome.
Further updates on these matters will, where appropriate, be included in the annual financial
statements currently being prepared by the Company and, if required, will be released on
SENS in accordance with the JSE Listings Requirements.
