Shares in the global retailer Steinhoff, which has its roots in Germany and is headquartered in South Africa, are still falling. It comes in a week where the company announced that it has "accounting irregularities" and that its chief executive, Markus Jooste, had resigned.
The shares are down another 30% on Thursday - they've lost 75% of their value on the Frankfurt and Johannesburg stock exchanges this week. Analysts at Royal Bank of Canada and JP Morgan have downgraded their views on the shares.
The company is incorporated in the Netherlands, has its primary share listing in Frankfurt and a secondary listing in Johannesburg. At the start of 2017, the shares traded for around five euros each ($5.90; £4.40). Now they trade for around 80 cents.
