In the Adani-Hindenburg case, what is SEBI investigating.pptxAdani case
Adani SEBI investigation revealed that the latter had sought information from five foreign jurisdictions concerning the holdings of the firm’s foreign portfolio investors (FPIs) in relation to the alleged violations of the MPS Regulations. Nevertheless, the economic interest of the twelve FPIs based in tax haven jurisdictions still needs to be determined. The Adani Group firms classed these FPIs as public shareholders. According to Hindenburg, FPIs were used to get around regulatory standards.

Although discipline is not a one-size-fits-all approach, it can help create a work environment that encourages personal growth and accountability rather than solely relying on punitive measures.
In this deck, you will learn the significance of workplace discipline for organisational success. You’ll also learn
• Four (4) workplace discipline methods you should consider
• The best and most practical approach to implementing workplace discipline.
• Three (3) key tips to maintain a disciplined workplace.

2. FORWARD LOOKING STATEMENTS
This presentation contains forward-looking statements and forward-looking information as defined under Canadian and U.S. securities laws. All statements,
other than statements of historical fact, are forward-looking statements. The words "expect", "believe", "anticipate", "will", "intend", "estimate", "forecast",
"budget" and similar expressions identify forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements include information as to strategy, plans or future financial or
operating performance, such as the Company’s expansion plans, project timelines, production plans, projected cash flows or capital expenditures, cost
estimates, projected exploration results, reserve and resource estimates and other statements that express management’s expectations or estimates of future
performance.
Forward-looking statements are necessarily based upon a number of factors and assumptions that, while considered reasonable by management, are
inherently subject to significant uncertainties and contingencies. Known and unknown factors could cause actual results to differ materially from those
projected in the forward-looking statements. Such factors include: uncertainty of production and cost estimates; fluctuations in the price of gold and foreign
exchange rates; the uncertainty of replacing depleted reserves; the risk that the Young-Davidson and El Chanate mine may not perform as planned; changes
in laws or regulations in Canada, Mexico and other jurisdictions in which the Company may carry on business; risks of obtaining necessary licenses, permits,
authorizations or approvals for operations or projects such as Kemess; contests over title to properties; the speculative nature of mineral exploration and
development; risks related to aboriginal title claims; compliance risks with respect to current and future environmental regulations; disruptions affecting
operations; opportunities that may be pursued by the Company; employee relations; availability and costs of mining inputs and labor; the ability to secure
capital to execute business plans; volatility of the Company’s share price; any decision to declare dividends; the effect of future financings; litigation; risk of
loss due to sabotage and civil disturbances; the values of assets and liabilities based on projected future cash flows; risks arising from holding derivative
instruments; risks arising from the absence of hedging; adequacy of internal control over financial reporting; changes in our credit rating; and the impact of
inflation.
Actual results and developments are likely to differ, and may differ materially, from those expressed or implied by the forward-looking statements contained
herein. Such statements are based on a number of assumptions which may prove to be incorrect, including assumptions about: business and economic
conditions; commodity prices and the price of key inputs such as labour, fuel and electricity; credit market conditions and conditions in financial markets
generally; revenue and cash flow estimates, production levels, development rates and the costs for each; our ability to procure equipment and supplies in
sufficient quantities and on a timely basis; the timing of the receipt of permits and other approvals for our projects and operations; our ability to attract and
retain skilled employees and contractors for our operations; the accuracy of our reserve and resource estimates; the impact of changes in currency exchange
rates on our costs and results; interest rates; taxation; and our ongoing relations with our employees and business partners.
The Company disclaims any intention or obligation to update or revise any forward-looking statements whether as a result of new information, future events or
otherwise, except as required by applicable law.
Cautionary Note to U.S. Investors Concerning Measured, Indicated and Inferred Resources
This presentation uses the terms "measured," "indicated" and "inferred” resources. We advise investors that while those terms are recognized and required by
Canadian regulations, the United States Securities and Exchange Commission does not recognize them. Under Canadian rules, estimates of inferred mineral
resources may not form the basis of feasibility or other economic studies. United States investors are cautioned not to assume that all or any part of measured
or indicated mineral resources will ever be converted into mineral reserves. United States investors are also cautioned not to assume that all or any part of an
inferred mineral resource exists, or is economically or legally mineable.

28. Notes to Reserves and Resources
Notes:
• Mineral Reserves and Resources have been stated as at December 31, 2012.
• Mineral Resources are in addition to Mineral Reserves. Mineral Resources that are not Mineral Reserves do not have demonstrated economic viability when calculated using Mineral
Reserve assumptions. Reserves have been reported in accordance with NI 43-101, as required by Canadian securities regulatory authorities. In addition, while the terms “Measured”,
“Indicated and “Inferred” Mineral Resources are required pursuant to NI 43-101, the SEC does not recognize such terms. Canadian standards differ significantly from the requirements of
the SEC, and mineral resource information contained herein is not comparable to similar information regarding mineral reserves disclosed in accordance with the requirements of the SEC.
Investors should understand that “Inferred” Mineral Resources have a great amount of uncertainty as to their existence and great uncertainty as to their economic and legal feasibility. In
addition, investors are cautioned not to assume that any part or all of AuRico’s Mineral Resources constitute or will be converted into Reserves.
• Following the completion of a joint venture agreement, Minera Frisco has a 50% interest in the Orion Project.
• Mineral resource tonnage and contained metal have been rounded to reflect the accuracy of the estimate, and numbers may not add due to rounding.
