Update regarding provisional liquidation and continued suspension of shares Chemical Specialities Limited Incorporated in the Republic of South Africa Registration number 2005/039947/06 Share code: CSP &CSPP ISIN: ZAE000109427 & ZAE000184305 ("Chemspec" or "the Company") Update regarding provisional liquidation and continued suspension of shares Shareholders are referred to the announcement released on SENS on 3 August 2015 regarding the application for termination of the business rescue proceedings and to place the company into provisional liquidation. The Company was placed into provisional liquidation on 5 August 2015. The Joint Provisional Liquidators (“Liquidators”) appointed by the Master of the High Court Durban are: Eugene Nel, Thami Mshengu, Roselyn Noel and Selby Ntsibane. A copy of the Provisional Liquidation Order and the Certificate of Appointment of the Provisional Liquidators is available on the Company’s website hosted at www.chemspec.co.za. The Liquidators have extended their powers in terms of Section 386 of the Companies Act and pursuant thereto are engaged in selling stock, assets and collecting the debtors of the Company. It is premature to determine whether a dividend will be paid to concurrent creditors. A recovery for shareholders appears to be extremely unlikely. Shareholders are advised that the liquidation process is ongoing and that the trading in the shares of the company remains suspended.
