Nampak postpones results by a month after cyberbreach

Africa's largest packaging group, Nampak, has been forced to shift the publication of its interim results out by a month to late June after a cyberbreach in March saw an unknown third-party gain access to its IT systems.

The JSE-listed group said on Thursday it now expected to release results on 28 June, noting that, historically, it released its half-year results in the last week of May every year.

Although its systems are up and running again, Nampak said it was carrying out further steps to ensure that all financial information is complete and accurate, given that the incident took place shortly before the close of the interim period.
