Pharmaceutical company, Aspen, is trying to reassure investors that it won't be the next Steinhoff. Earlier shares in the company plunged on speculation that it could be involved in financial manipulation. 
But they jumped by nearly 11% - or 10.75% to be exact- after the company said that it is not aware of any information that is of a price sensitive nature.
