We have pleasure in advising you of two areas of interest as follows:

UPDATE ON SOME DEVELOPMENTS AT CIPRO

Herewith a short note on some developments at CIPRO which could be of interest to you:

1)      Annual Returns - section 21 companies:

Although Section 21 companies are also due to lodge annual returns, the Registrar has not yet made provisions for lodging. All Section 21 companies that are due to lodge will therefore not be penalised and the companies will not be deregistered. The Registrar will advertise on their website ( www.cipro.co.za ) as soon as they have made provisions for lodging. So be sure to watch out for this announcement on their website or contact CIPRO should you require any further information.

2)      Electronic lodgements:

CIPRO sent out a notice to its agents on Friday 03 June 2005, confirming that as from Monday 06 June 2005 the following forms can be lodged electronically through the CIPRO website ( www.cipro.co.za ) :

• CM22
• CM27A
• CM29
• CM31
• CM37

CIPRO also sent out a notice to its agents on Friday 03 June 2005, confirming that as from Friday 10 June 2005 the following forms can be lodged electronically through the CIPRO website ( www.cipro.co.za ) :

• CK1;
• CK/2A.

Please note that you should not lodge electronically if you have documents which have been lodged manually and which have not yet been processed.

For further information regarding the electronic lodgement of documents please contact CIPRO and/or visit their website at www.cipro.co.za


STRATE CHARITY SHARE SCHEME

For the company secretaries of listed companies, please note that STRATE is still very much committed in driving the Charity Share Scheme, which has as its objective reducing the number of shareholders with odd lot shares, while at the same time making a contribution to charity.  Together with Computershare, the STRATE team is proposing to market the Scheme by using the outside cover of envelopes posted on behalf of listed companies to their shareholders.  This is a very worthwhile project and very much to the benefit also of the listed companies.  Members are therefore urged to support the Scheme where at all possible.


Regards

THE COMMITTEE
