Withdrawal of Cautionary announcement - Acquisition of a significant player in  
the sports betting industry                                                     
Shareholders are referred to the cautionary announcements dated 31 May 2011 and 
13 July 2011, and are advised that Purple Capital and Marshalls World of Sport  
have mutually agreed that it would not be appropriate to complete the proposed  
acquisition at this time. Both parties however recognise the merits of working  
together to benefit from their respective technology and physical distribution  
strengths, initially in Gauteng.                                                
Accordingly, shareholders are no longer advised to exercise caution when dealing
in their Purple Capital shares.
