As referenced in the Memorandum submitted to the Companies Tribunal (“Tribunal”) on 8 July 2026, I lodged a formal complaint with the Companies and Intellectual Property Commission (“CIPC”) on 18 June 2025 regarding, in my professional opinion, several contraventions of the Companies Act committed by the Board of Directors of the Nova Group of Companies.
For transparency and ease of reference, a full copy of the CoR135.1 submitted to the CIPC on 18 June 2025 is provided below.
