Nuplex Industries Limited

The Commission alleged that from 22 December 2008 until 19 February 2009 Nuplex breached its continuous disclosure obligations under the NZX Listing Rules and the Securities Markets Act 1988 by failing to disclose to the market a breach of a banking covenant, and that both Nuplex and the directors are responsible for this failure.

Also, the Commission's court proceedings against Nuplex and the directors will be discontinued.
