TRUSTCO APPOINTS INDEPENDENT COMMITTEE TO OVERSEE DELISTING PROCESS

Published

on

Trustco Group Holdings Limited (“Trustco” or “the Company”) announced that its Board of Directors has established an independent committee to manage the proposed delisting from the Johannesburg Stock Exchange (JSE), Namibian Stock Exchange (NSX), and OTCQX Market in the United States. This follows the Company’s earlier announcement evaluating the delisting in preparation for its planned Nasdaq direct listing.

The newly formed committee comprises entirely of independent non-executive directors and is chaired by the Independent Chairperson of the Board, Advocate Raymond Heathcote SC, who will oversee all aspects of the delisting process. This includes coordinating with regulators, ensuring compliance with the JSE Listings Requirements and Namibian Company Law, facilitating shareholder engagement, and overseeing the preparation of a fairness opinion by an appointed independent expert. The JSE accredited Independent Expert has been engaged to conduct the fairness opinion, with the process already commenced.

Quinton van Rooyen, CEO of Trustco Group Holdings

“The appointment of an independent committee underscores Trustco’s commitment to transparency and equitable treatment of all shareholders during this pivotal transition,” said Quinton van Rooyen, CEO of Trustco Group Holdings. “I have full confidence in the Board’s leadership and the expertise of the appointed committee members to execute this process effectively. Their collective experience and diligence will ensure that the delisting process meets the highest standards, addressing all regulatory requirements and safeguarding shareholder interests as we move towards our Nasdaq listing.”

To ensure continuous and effective communication throughout the transition period between delisting and the planned Nasdaq listing, the Company requests all shareholders to update their contact information through the dedicated shareholder contact form at https://www.tgh.na/shareholder-contact-form/. This will enable Trustco to maintain direct communication channels with its shareholder base during the transition.

Regarding the Company’s financial reporting, Trustco also updated shareholders on the progress of the Annual Financial Statements for Fiscal Year 2024. In line with amended Listings Requirements and the ongoing delisting and uplisting processes, a Public Company Accounting Oversight Board Audit (PCAOB audit) for the historical Annual Financial years ended 31 August 2023 and 31 August 2024 is required. Trustco remains incorporated in Namibia and must comply with home country legislation. Accordingly, the company shall complete the Namibian audit for the AFS FY2024. The audit processes are all underway, and shareholders are advised that the AFS FY2024 shall be published as soon as the Namibian audit has been completed and will form part of the delisting process.

A comprehensive formal offer detailing the proposed delisting and the Nasdaq transition timeline will be distributed to shareholders in due course. Shareholders are advised to exercise caution when dealing in the Company’s securities until a full announcement is made. For any questions or further information, shareholders can send an email to the company secretary at komada@tgh.na.

Press Release

Cristobal Bull, Nowhere to Hide, The Islander, and What Mommy Doesn’t See Win April BREW Award

Published

on

Australia, 1st May 2025,
 

The Chrysalis BREW Project has announced the winners of the April 2025 BREW Readers’ Choice Award Book of the Month. The titles recognised this month are Cristobal Bull by Chris Corbett, Nowhere to Hide by Jude Austin, The Islander by David W. Berner, and What Mommy Doesn’t See by Karen Ledbetter.

Cristobal Bull by Chris Corbett was noted for its character construction and storytelling approach. The review from The Chrysalis BREW Project stated, “Corbett’s focus on the Bull’s past serves the story’s depth and flow well.” It also noted that the author “presents the Bull as a human being first, with motivations, history, and internal logic.”

Nowhere to Hide by Jude Austin was recognised for its exploration of interspecies dynamics and ethical complexity. The review highlighted, “The best parts of this book highlight what happens when two intelligent life forms attempt to understand each other without the option of walking away.”

David W. Berner’s The Islander was chosen for its portrayal of introspection and change. According to the review, the book is “not a travel story but a story of travelling inward, away from things, people, and situations, and toward clarity.”

Karen Ledbetter’s What Mommy Doesn’t See was recognised for its narrative focus and treatment of sensitive topics. The review noted that “Ledbetter handles sensitive scenes with a deliberate lack of over-dramatisation” and “presents the narrative from the child’s perspective without unnecessary exposition.”

More details about this announcement are on The Chrysalis BREW Project website.
