Definition

This is a publicly advertised announcement made by a listed company to urge shareholders to exercise caution when trading in its shares. These announcements appear on SENS (Stock Exchange News Service) and in the newspapers whenever a company is involved in any activity (such as negotiating a take-over), which would materially affect the price of the shares. One of the reasons for publishing this information is to ensure that investors are protected from undue share price fluctuations when price sensitive information is imminent.
