Further to the cautionary announcement dated 14 July 2009, the Company announces, for purposes of compliance with the Listings Requirements of the JSE Limited, that negotiations to acquire certain assets are still in progress, which if successfully concluded may have a material effect on NEPI’s financial position and consequently on the price of the Company’s shares. No certainty can be given that these negotiations will be concluded successfully. Accordingly, shareholders are advised to continue exercising caution when dealing in their NEPI shares until a further announcement is made in this respect.
