Statement on offers of Platfields’ shares

7 April 2009

With regard to offers of Platfields shares made from time to time by various individuals, financial brokers or advisors, the company advises that it neither endorses nor approves of such offers, their content, supporting documentation and the marketing materials associated with such offers, the basis of such offers or any of the terms thereof.

The Board has previously announced that Platfields is in the process of applying to the JSE Limited for the listing of Platfields’ ordinary shares. The listing process is ongoing and is being pursued by Platfields with determination, but it remains subject to regulatory approval and to market conditions prevailing at or around the time such regulatory approvals have been obtained. Platfields shares are not available to the public for trade or exchange at this stage.

Investors and shareholders are assured that any offer of shares by Platfields at any time will be accompanied by full particulars regarding Platfields and the offer, clearly reflecting that it has been prepared by or on behalf of Platfields.

Investing in securities involves risk; investors are thus advised to exercise caution when considering all offers of securities made to them by individuals or entities.

• Prior to making an investment decision, prospective investors should consider carefully all of the information publicly available regarding Platfields, in particular the annual financial statements and other information made available on Platfields’ website, www.platfields.co.za.
• Platfields’ shares are not listed or traded on any exchange and so there is only limited transparency for investors on the market for such shares, including but not limited to their liquidity or price. Any forecasts or promises of the potential price of Platfields’ shares made by any broker or financial advisor are mere speculation.
