Shareholders are advised that the Diagnostic Review is well progressed and the Companies expect to finalise their findings within the next few weeks. Following the successful completion of the Diagnostic Review, the Companies would then seek to present the findings to their respective boards of directors and engage with key stakeholders before finalising the transaction agreements and presenting the transaction to Telkom shareholders for approval. Shareholders are advised that discussions regarding the Potential Strategic Venture are ongoing and there is still no certainty that a formal transaction will be proposed or concluded.
