The exchange has resolved to remove year-end closing share prices that it considers “anomalous,” and the exchange itself will determine those shares' prices, using a formula yet to be determined. Much more is at stake than what price will be contained in the following day's newspapers. Although prices in a thin market are indeed uncertain indicators of a share's true value, there is no reason to believe that the exchange can produce superior prices by setting them itself.
