JSE Upholds Censure on Disclosure Rules for Listed Companies
What happened
The JSE has upheld the validity and enforceability of a public censure issued under its Listings Requirements. The censure related to a company's failure to promptly alert the market about a breach of confidentiality concerning a binding offer made in May 2023. The company had become aware of the breach by mid-June 2023 but failed to issue a cautionary announcement.
