   1.1.      The business rescue proceedings of the Company have not
             been concluded within three months of the date of
             commencement thereof, and therefore this update report

             Companies Act 71 of 2008 (“Act”).

          the structure.)

         the subsidiary and has commenced production, according
         to the contract manufacturing agreement.

5. Suggested Way Forward
  In terms of the Plan, the business rescue is proceeding in
  accordance with Proposal 3, i.e. the wind-down of the Company.

6. Conclusion
   It is the joint BRPs’ view that Proposal 3 will result in a
   better outcome for all affected persons than a liquidation.
