application with Orthotouch to migrate is uncertain to the extent that Orthotouch may, in its own discretion, accept or reject it.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Orthotouch does not admit any liability in the migration document which could enable a liquidator to possibly claim back monies paid out to investors by Orthotouch, should Orthotouch be liquidated in future.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Investors lose all their claims against the Respondents, except the 33.3% stipulated in the migration document.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Investors&#8217; participation with the HSAG immediately end on acceptance of the migration document by Orthotouch and not only suspended (as insisted upon in the HSAG settlement agreement).<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #000000;\">All investors&#8217; claims are settled and not only the claims signed with Orthotouch on the migration document.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #000000;\">If Orthotouch fails to pay investors, investors can only sue in their own names on this migration document and not through the HSAG Class Action.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #000000;\">By entering into the migration document, investors consent to a confidentiality clause which prohibits them to disclose any information.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #000000;\">No further interest will be paid to investors, even if Orthotouch is in breach of the agreement.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #000000;\">The investors&#8217; right to claim monthly interest from Orthotouch lapses and he\/she\/they would only be entitled (but Orthotouch not necessarily be obliged) to dividends on a six month basis.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #000000;\">The shares that investors acquire would only be ordinary shares and the investors will have no preference above anyone else.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Investors run the risk that they acquire shares in a company that may be of little or no value if the HSAG succeeds in setting aside the S155 Scheme of Arrangement.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Investors who migrate to Option 3 do not know what assets vest in the new to be JSE listed company, which effectively means that those people will receive no guarantee that their shares will be equal to the value associated\/assigned to them.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #000000;\">If the S155 Scheme of Arrangement is set aside or in the event of a liquidation of Orthotouch, a business rescue practitioner \/ liquidator may lay claim to those assets vesting in the JSE company, which could place the investors at further risk.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #000000;\">People who migrate to Option 3 run the risk that they will not receive HSAG protection if Orthotouch or the JSE company fail to honour their legal obligations.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #000000;\">The investors must in such instancec institute legal action in their own names of which the costs can become enormous.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Investors and all HSAG Members are encouraged, if in doubt, to contact their own attorneys for independent legal advice.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Ms Elna Visagie is not a registered financial advisor or member of the HSAG and HSAG members must be extremely cautious to sign documents presented by her without taking proper legal advice, as she is also working for Orthotouch.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p><strong><span style=\"color: #000000;\">6 \u00a0July 2017<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Official Highveld Syndication Action Group (&#8220;HSAG&#8221;) Communication<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Important News Flash!
