breach of the Securities Act and the Securities (Takeover) Rules 2010 in relation to
the transactions, conceming the shares of New Mauritius Hotels Lia’, the Third Party
No.2, by the Plaintiffs. For the avoidance of doubt, the Plaintiffs do not accept the
validity of KT's aforesaid appointment or of any action taken by KT (or omission

INVESTMENTS IN NMH BY ENLL, ROGERS AND SWAN
8. ENLL’s and Rogers’ longstanding strategy has been to hold a diverse set of
investments, including a significant stake in the hotel and leisure sectors. Rogers in
particular, as @ pioneer in the country’s hospitality industry, was the founder of NMH.
‘The ENL Group and Rogers have over more than 60 years always maintained their
long-standing interest in NM. Each of the Piaintifs did so because they believed in
the prospects of NMH in the long term as @ valuable and sustainable investment,
Acquisition of NMH shares by the Plaintiffs and Swan in 2016
9. Between 16" and 18% February 2016, ENLL and Rogers invested, through several
transactions, in 20,337,289 and 7,827,486 further ordinary shares and 3,797,115 and
1,387,235 further preference shares in NMH, respectively. ("the 2016 Acquisitions")
10. Swan also acquired additional NMH shares at the same time.
Acquisition of shares in NMH in January 2017 and the mandatory offer
11..On 19" January 2017, ENLL and Rogers then decided to purchase an additional
715,000 ordinary shares in NMH, in propor
to their existing holdings (the "2017
Acquisitions’). These purchases took ENLL and Rogers together over the 30%
shareholding threshold under the Securities (Takeover) Rules 2010 (the "Takeover
Rules") beyond which they would be required to make a mandatory offer for the
remaining shares in NMH.
12. Consequently, on the 19" January 2017, ENLL and Rogers jointly:
(2) wrote to the FSC, copied to the SEM, to notify it that they had effected the
2017 Acquisitions and that they would be making a mandatory offer to the
shareholders of NMH under Rule 33(1)(b) of the Takeover Rules.
(b) issued a firm intention letter to the board of NMH to make that mandatory
offer under Rule 9 of the Takeover Rules.
3(c) made a joint public announcement that they would proceed with a mandatory
offer as described above, pursuant to Rule 12(1)(d) of the Takeover Rules.
43. On the 27% January 2017, ENLL and Rogers issued a joint communiqué to inform the
shareholders of NMH and the public of the key dates relating to the mandatory offer
and of a number of ancillary practical matters.
14.0n the 6 February 2017, ENLL and Rogers filed a copy of the offer document
relating to the mandatory offer with the FSC, copied to the SEM, pursuant to Rule 16
of the Takeover Rules.
15.By letter dated 8 February 2017, the FSC required ENLL and Rogers to make
amendments to the offer document. ENLL and Rogers complied with that request
and an amended offer document was filed with the FSC, copied to the SEM, on the
13" February 2017.
16. By letter dated 13" February 2017, the FSC informed ENLL and Rogers that it would
Not object to the circulation of the offer document as amended to the shareholders of
NM.
17. On the 20% February 2017, the FSC orally requested ENLL and Rogers to attend an
urgent meeting at its offices, the purpose of which was to seek clarifications
regarding the 2016 Acquisitions. Immediately following the said meeting, ENLL and
Rogers wrote jointly to the FSC to confirm that they did not control Swan and its
investment decisions. ENLL and Rogers further confirmed that there was, neither at
that time nor at the time of the 2016 Acquisitions, any agreement or understanding,
whether formal or informal pursuant to which ENLL and Rogers on the one hand and
‘Swan on the other hand cooperated to obtain or consolidate effective control of NMH.
ENLL and Rogers further confirmed that the combined shareholdings of the Plaintifis
as well as Swan and Swan General Ltd. had already exceeded the 30% threshold
well before the 2016 Acquisitions.
18, Subsequently on the 20" February 2017, the FSC issued a communiqué (‘the First
Communiqué’) headed “New Mauritius Hotels Limited (‘NMH')" regarding “the
allegations reported in the press relating to dealings in shares of INMH] with respect
to the mandatory offer that Is being launched today”. The First Communiqué
continued“The FSC has continuously been monitoring the matter since February
2016.
The FSC wishes to inform the public that, from the evidence gathered so
far and the materials available on record, it does not consider that any
breach of the Securities (Takeover) Rules 2010 has taken place.”
19.On the 20" February 2017, ENLL's and Rogers’ mandetory offer was sent to the
shareholders of NMH, and ENLL and Rogers informed the SEM of the same by way
of a letter dated 22 February 2017. On the 27 March 2017, ENLL and Rogers’
mandatory offer wes accepted in respect of 25,546,555 ordinary shares in NMH. On
the 31% March 2017, ENLL and Rogers issued a joint communiqué to announce this
‘outcome of the mandatory offer.
COMPLAINT BY SUNNYSTARS:
20. Sunnystars Resorts Holdings Ltd. (‘Sunnystars") is a company incorporated in
Mauritius on the 24" September 2016. Its sole directors are Sivakumaren
Mardemootoo ("RM") and Anthony Charles Desir ("Desir"). Sunnystars has no stated
capital, but has 400 unpaid ordinary shares allotted to Sunnystars Consultancy
Holdings Ltd. ("Sunnystars Consultancy"). Likewise, Sunnystars Consultancy has
no stated capital but has 200 unpaid ordinary shares, with RM and Desir each
holding 100 unpaid shares. RM and Desir are also the sole directors of Sunnystars
Consultancy.
24. Sunnystars became a shareholder of NMH on the 22% October 2015 by investing
Rs18,000 for 1,008 NUH shares.
22. Sunnystars through Ms. Komachi Mardemootoo, attorney-at- law, wrote to the FSC
on its behalf on the 22” and the 26 March 2017 in the terms set out below. Given
that Sunnystars is a shell company operated by and for the benefit of RM and Desir,
itis inferred that Sunnystars did so at their behest.23. In the letter dated the 2% Merch 2017, Sunnystars alleged that the Plaintiffs and
‘Swan had breached Rule 33(1)(b) of the Takeover Rules by acting in concert in the
2016 Acquisitions, and requested the FSC, to suspend the mandatory offer made by
ENLL and Rogers and to institute an investigation to look into the 2016 Acquisitions.
24. The letter of the 26" March 2017, suggested a further spurious legal basis on whitch it
claimed that the Plaintiffs and Swan ought to have made a mandatory offer for
shares in NMH in February 2016. It reiterated the prayers of Sunnystars’ previous
correspondence and stated that the 2016 Acquisition had breached section 94(3) of
the Securities Act. Sunnystars changed the basis of its complaint to introduce that
irrespective of the lack of any ‘acting in concert’ to acquire effective control between
the Plaintifs and Swan, the latter had nevertheless somehow breached Section 94 of
the Securities Act given that Swan is an ‘associate’ of ENLL.
25. The allegations in Sunnystars’ letters of the 22" and the 26 March 2017 are false,
the legal analysis contained therein is misconceived, and the Plaintiffs have
responded to them appropriately in the course of their dealings with the FSC.
26. Nonetheless, Sunnysiars' letters have been made available publicly through the
press in a transparent attempt to sully the Plaintiffs’ reputation, and no doubt place
pressure on the FSC in the discharge of its statutory duties.
27. The Plaintiffs were not copied on either of these letters. Nor have they been sent
copies of them, despite formal request to this effect. In fact, it is only through the
press leaks described above that the Plaintiffs became aware of their contents,
28. The Plaintiffs have subsequently learnt that around the same time as the letters
referred to above, Ms. Mardemootoo also sent the FSC a mise en demeure on
Sunnystars' behalf, repeating its allegations and requesting the FSC to accede to its
prayers as stated in its letters of complaint.
29, Given the nature of Sunnystars ‘complaints’ and allegations and the grave effect they
were having on a publicly isted company (NMH) and on its longstanding institutional
shareholders, and particularly on the Plaintiffs, it wes essential that i any
investigation were to be conducted into the 2016 Acquisitions (none being in fact
warranted on a true and fair appraisal of the situation), such investigation be
conducted fairly, transparently and in good faith. As explained below, KT, as
investigator appointed in that respect, has acted in the exact opposite manner.‘THE CLAIM AGAINST KT
30. The present Plaint is brought by the Plaintiffs against KT for the improper manner in
which he has conducted his investigation, prompted by Sunnystars’ unfounded
allegations referred to above and in spite of the FSC’s statement in the First
Communiqué.
Purported basis of KT's investigation
31.0n the 31# March 2017. the FSC issued @ communiqué (the “Second
Communiqué’), informing the public that it had, under section 44A of the Financial
Services Act 2007, purported to appoint KT as Investigator. The Second
Communiqué stated that a special investigation was being set up to look into whether
there had been any breach of the Takeover Rules or the Securities Act by the
Plaintiffs and Swan in respect of transactions involving the shares of NMH.
32, From the outset KT has failed to respond to the Ptaintiffs! request (made in writing on
the St April 2017) to be made aware of his terms of reference.
33. Nor has KT responded to the Plaintiffs’ o Swan's repeated requests (made in writing
on the 10" April 2017) to be made aware of the nature of his investigation, that is,
‘whether it was regulatory, disciplinary or criminal in nature and to explain what new
facts (if any) had prompted his investigation in the first place, given the public
statement in the First Communiqué that no breach of the Takeover Rules had been
found
34. KT has similarly ignored the Plaintiffs’ objections as to the validity of his appointment
raised in writing on the 20" April 2017, and proceeded with his investigation without
awaiting (or indeed requesting) clarification from the FSC in that respect.
35.Further, KT has positively misled the Plaintiffs as to his terms of reference as
Investigator:
(2) On the 5 April 2017, the Plaintiffs made a written request to be informed of
KT's terms of reference as investigator. By way of a letter dated the 11° April
2017, KT sent his purported terms of reference to the Plaintiffs,
(b) During a hearing on the 12 April 2017, questions were once again raised
regarding KT's terms of reference and the scope of the investigation. inresponse, KT handed over a document that was similar to the document sent
fon 11% April 2017,
(
By way of letter dated the 18" April 2017, Swan raised three issues
regarding the document communicated in a letter dated 11" April 2017 and
during the hearing of the 12" April 2017. KT and the Third Party No. 1 did not
respond
(@) KT's true terms of reference were eventually stated as part ofa reply made in
the National Assembly by the Honourable Minister S. Seesungkur as late 2s
the 9* Mey 2017. The terms of reference as spelt out in the National
Assembly by the Honourable Minister were materially different to those sent
by KT on the 11% April 2017. As such, KT has misled the Plaintifs as to the
‘scope of his investigation and terms of reference.
36. Despite requests made in writing to that effect (on the 5é, 10 and 20% April 2017),
the FSC has similarly failed to provide any details of the basis for the purported
launch of an investigation under section 44A of the Financial Services Act, and KT
has for his part refused (without even communicating the fact of that refusal to the
Plaintiffs) to suspend his investigation pending clarification of the same by the FSC.
‘The result of this is that KT has impermissibly purported to arrogate to himseff the
definition of his own mandate.
37. The Plaintiffs have accordingly been made the subject of an investigation without
being provided with the facts giving rise to It, the substance of the complaints made
against them, the nature of the investigation, or even the investigator's terms of
reference. This is a fundamental breach of faimess and due process. As noted
above, far from suspending his investigation pending remediation of these procedural
flaws as he ought to have done, KT proceeded with his investigation, without so
much as informing the Plaintiffs that he was doing so, and (as described further
below) without ever giving the Plaintiffs an opportunity to address him on the facts or
on the law. Its the Plaintiffs’ understanding (also as described further below) that the
reason put forward by KT himself for acting in that way was to seek to prevent the
possibility of a Court of law halting his unlawful actions. This is wholly incompatible
with KT's duties as a neutral and fair-minded investigator, and demonstrates an abus
de droit, faute, andlor faute lourde and/or bad faith in the conduct of the investigation.Lack of impartiality
38, Swan raised a separate objection to KT's appointment in a letter dated the 18" April
2017 on the basis that KT has previously been involved in litigation with Swan
(previously known as Anglo Mauritius Assurance Society Ltd.) through his
management company, Apostle International Manegement Services Ltd ("Apostle").
38. KT never responded to that allegation during the course of his investigation,
deliberately choosing instead to proceed without so much as informing the Plaintiffs
that he was doing so, as noted above. This is further evidence of KT's abus de droit,
faute, andlor faute Jourde and/or bad faith
40. It is understood that KT has sought to dismiss that allegation in his report as a trivial
matter and a mere “dispute in respect of rent due on leased premises". This is
inecourate :
(a) The lease agreement subject matter of the litigation was for the lease of the
first floor of a building known as Old Swan Building, This office space wes in
fact occupied by Mazars, of which KT is a partner.
(0) Prior to the claim for rent due by Apostle in respect of a lease agreement,
there was also @ Writ Habere Facias Possessionem before the Judge in
Chambers for the eviction of Apostle from the premises being leased.
(0) In respect of the claim for rent due, a settlement agreement was reached and
made @ judgment of the Court, whereby Apostle agreed to pay the sums due,
although they reneged on this undertaking, resulting in a Statutory Demand
under the Insolvency Act to be issued against Apostle.
(2) In addition to the obvious conflict of interest raised by this litigation, the
dispute sheds further light on KT's disregard for ethical conduct. Whereas the
international accounting firms in Mauritius have had to spin off and sell their
management company businesses to comply with corporate governance
regulatory obligations, the litigation between Apostle and Swan (formerly
called Anglo Mauritius Assurance Society) reveals that KT and his firms
(Mazars end Apostle) have not done so. KT was involved in Apostle whilst
simultaneously being involved in Mazars; Mazars and Apostle are sister‘companies; employees of Mazars have at times acted for Apostle. Both
entities have been operated and run as one single entity. All this has been
done under the supervision and with the irect involvement of KT as partner
of Mazars.
(€) It transpires from the Apostle dispute that KT had thus acted mala fide and
against regulatory obligations, which in itself should have debarred him from
sitting as investigator appointed by the FSC, the regulator for the non-banking
financial sector in Mauritius, including management companies.
44. Despite being fully aware of the facts set out above, KT has refused to engage in any
way with Swan's objection as to this conflict of interest and lack of neutrality and
impartiality. As noted above, this is further evidence of KT's abus de droit andior
faute, and/or faute fourde andlor bad faith.
KT's conduct of his investigation
42. In addition to the matters set out above conceming KT's lack of impartiality and
misleading conduct, KT has conducted his investigation in an improper and biased
manner, which further evidences of an abuse of right and lor KT's fauts, and/or faute
lourde andlor bad faith.
43, First, KT has refused to disclose to the Plaintiffs any evidence on which he relied or
proposed to rely, despite their repeated requests that he do so (made in writing on
inter alia the0® and the 20" April 2017).
44. Secondly, KT has failed — again, despite the Plaintifs' reasonable requests in
writing that he do so — to set out even in qutline the procedure that he intended to
follow in conducting the investigation, and in particular how he intended to guarantee
the Plaintiffs’ rights to a fair process. Indeed, KT has failed to adhere to his own
limited indications as to the procedure he intended to follow, failing even to depone
key directors of the Plaintifs despite his assurance that he would do so (vide KT's
letter dated the 11" April 2017).
45, Thirdly, KT has unilaterally decided to conduct the investigation under a “urgent”
procedure. There is no basis for any urgent procedure to be adopted, particularly
given thet the purported breaches of the Takeover Rules took place more than a year
10ago, and as regards transactions that have already received the FSC’s clearance, as
noted above,
46, Fourthly, KT has proceeded to render a report on his investigation to the Acting CEO
of the FSC. As is typical of this investigation, the Plaintiffs were not informed of that
fact (having not even been notified that the investigation was continuing despite the
serious issues raised by them in correspondence and entirely ignored by KT), and
learned of this only through leaks in the press. For instance Radio 1 reported on the
30th May 2017 that « un membre dur conseil d’administration de la FSC nous confie
sous le couvert de lanonymat que le rapport est & étude ... [et] a voulu nous
rassurer quil faudra s‘ettendre & des sanctions dans cette affaire ». Extracts of this
Report have further found their way to the media and to the internet.
4T. As a confirmation of these rumours, the FSC issued a communiqué on the 31# May
2017 (the “Third Communique’) to the effect that KT had submitted a report dated
the 19" May 2017 and made presentation to the Board of the FSC on the 25% May
2017.
48. This report was submitted without engaging with the Plaintiffs in any way whatsoever,
deliberately depriving them of the opportunity to put their version across and to refute
the spurious allegations against them
49. It is the Plaintiffs’ understanding, according to the media report at large, that KT
would have submitted a report wherein he would have stated that his report was
according to evidence gathered “so far’, that the purported reason given for acting in
this way is a desire to avoid independent scrutiny of his conduct by a Court of law,
and that KT would have stated that his conclusions were subject to a major caveat
that his conclusions may be different in the light of the testimony of the Plaintiffs and
Swan,
50. The Plaintifs verily believe that the report neither mentions nor addresses any of the
facts, objections and observations raised by the Plaintifs in the course of the
investigation. In so acting, KT has ignored arguments advanced against the case put
forward against the Plaintiffs, against himself and against the way in which he was
‘conducting his investigation, and has thus deliberately given an incomplete and
Unfair picture to the authorities, and deliberately misled the FSC. This is further
evidence of an abus de droit and/or faute, andior faute fourde and/or bad fal
un51. The cumulative effect of the above is that KT has deliberately proceeded with his
investigation in a manner that was fundamentally flawed, deliberately ignoring the
Plaintif’s reasoned (and well-founded) objection to the validity of his appointment
‘and challenge to his impartiality, and has rushed to conclusions on partial,
incomplete unverified, and untested evidence. This was a glaring and deliberate
breach of natural justice, which clearly evidences KT’s abus de droit, faute, and/or
faute lourde andor bad faith.
52. It is the Plaintiffs’ understanding that as @ result of this flawed process conducted in
bad feith, KT has purported to make serious (and erroneous) findings against the
Plaintiffs including
(2) A breach of the mandatory rule offer (Rule 33 of the Securities (Takeover)
Rules, whether read on its own or in conjunction with section 94 of the
‘Securities Act) by the Plaintifis and Swan;
(b) A breach of Rule 11 of the Securities (Takeover) Rules, by Mr. Hector
Espitelier-Noel, Mr. Gilbert Espitalier-Noel, Mr. Jean Pierre Montocchio, Mr.
Colin Taylor, and Mr. Louis Rivalland;
(0) A breach of section 111(1)(b) of the Securities Act (Insider dealing) by Mr.
Hector Espitalier-Noel;
(4) A breach of section 111(1}\c) of the Securities Act (Insider dealing) by Mr.
Philippe Espitalier-Noel;
(e) A breach of section 114 of the Securities Act (Market Rigging) by the
Plaintiffs, Swan, Swan Securities Ltd; and
(f) A breach of section 116 of the Securities Act (False and Misleading Conduct
in Relation to Securities) by the members of the board of NV.
53. KT’s report is of no validity or effect whatsoever. It is, on its own terms, incomplete,
and these conclusions are unjustified and should not have been made. Any
reasonable investigator in KT's position would have realized that the conduct of the
investigation had been fundamentally flawed and thet, above all, it is i
Rlegitimately to arrive at such conclusions (whether behind the fig leaf of a purported
‘caveat’ or otherwise) without having given the subjects of the investigation 2 full and
fair opportunity to present their case
54, Indeed, with regards to the allegations and purported findings of market rigging, the
Stock Exchange of Mauritius disavowed the findings of KT in no uncertain terms by
issuing a communique on the 6 June 2017 to the effect that the transaction effected
in the preference shares of NMH on 17% February 2016 were made in compliance
with the provisions of the SEM's ATS Schedule of Procedures.
Abus de droit andlor faute, and/or faute fourde and/or bad faith
56. It is the Plaintifs’ case that the acts and doings of KT constitute an abus de droit
and/or a faute, and/or faute lourde and/or bad faith as particularised above and
further as follows:
(2) Bias and male fide against the Plaintiffs throughout the investigative process;
(b) Failure to disclose reasonable grounds on which the investigation was based
and scope of investigation despite several requests by the Plaintifs;
(c) Deliverately misleading the Plaintiffs on his Terms of Reference for the
investigation:
(4) Failure to make a full and frank disclosure of his conflicts of interests despite
the letters and instances of conflict put forward by the Plaintiffs;
(e) Acting as an investigator when conflicted;
(f) Acting maliciously and without reasonable cause;
(g) Failure to observe any or any proper standard of care applicable in the
circumstances;
(h) Failure to observe any or any proper duty of reasonably inquiry;
(i) Malicious pursuit of an inquiry and/or grossly negligent conduct in the course
of the inquiry;
3(j) Intentional disregard of rules of due process and natural justice in the conduct
of the investigation; and
(k) Reckless submission of purported findings to FSC on an exercise which was
under the terms of his own report incomplete, on the stated basis of seeking
to avoid scrutiny of his process by a Court of law.
56. Through his abus de droit andior faute, and/or faute fourde andlor bad faith set out
above, KT has caused significant and ongoing damage to the Plaintiffs.
57. As explained above, it was essential that if any investigation were to be conducted
into the 2016 Acquisitions (none being in fact warranted on a true and fair appraisal
of the situation), such investigation be conducted fairly, transparently and in good
faith so as to put an end to that damage. Through his actions KT, as investigator
appointed in that respect, has acted in the exact opposite manner.
58. The said damage is currently valued at Rs. 250 million per Plaintif, for @ joint amount
of Rs. 500 milion,
