Quarterly Report March 2018
Commitment and final terms executed for US$190m debt facility
Altech Chemicals Limited (Altech/the Company) executed the commitment and agreed terms and conditions for a US$190 million project finance debt package with German governmentowned KfW IPEX-Bank during the quarter.
This represented the formalisation of the total debt package of US$190 million for the Company's proposed high purity alumina (HPA) project.
Of the total debt facility committed with KfW IPEX-Bank, US$170 million of it is project finance covered by the German export credit agency (ECA) with the balance of US$20 million under normal commercial terms.
The ECA-covered loan (US$170 million) is at long tenure and highly attractive loan terms. The balance of US$20 million of borrowing will be a 7-year loan including a 2-year construction period, resulting in a 5-year repayment period and at customary lending terms.
By comparison to typical project finance, the loan terms agreed with KfW IPEX-Bank are extremely attractive.
The final step to finance close is the execution of the facility agreement documentation and the satisfaction of various conditions precedent required before first debt draw-down.

The Company commenced work on securing the “balance of funds” for the project during the quarter.
The balance of funds is expected to comprise a combination of mezzanine debt (loans that are subordinate to the KfW IPEXBank loans); equity issued by Altech; and possibly the introduction of a joint venture partner to the project. Securing the balance of funds is one of the conditions precedent to debt draw-down.

Quarterly Report March 2018
Final stage of project financing advanced
Subsequent to the formalisation of the US$190 million senior debt package with German government owned KfW IPEXBank, the Company advanced the final stage of project financing during the quarter.
Since the KfW IPEX-Bank debt funding was confirmed in early 2018, there is heightened interest in the Company and its HPA project. The path to finance close and the ability to draw-down on the senior debt package involves the Company satisfying various conditions precedent, which includes securing a balance of funds for the HPA project.
The options and proposals being considered by the Company include mezzanine debt (subordinate to the senior KfW IPEXBank loans); potential project partnerships; a traditional equity issue by the Company; and the sale of a royalty stream over future HPA sales revenue.
The Company is encouraged by the interest and the rapid recognition of the potential of the high purity alumina market. Altech currently estimates that it may take until mid-2018 to determine the optimal funding solution for the HPA project. The Company's objective remains to achieve a robust project funding solution that maximises shareholder returns and minimises dilution.
I. Mezzanine Debt
A number of groups were appointed to assist the Company with identifying potential financiers and securing indicative terms for proposed mezzanine debt, which will be subordinate to the US$190 million senior loan package. The Company's HPA project is extremely cash positive and can support a potential mezzanine debt facility of between US$70 and US$120 million.
More detailed due diligence activities by several financier groups including site visits (to both Malaysia and Australia) have occurred during the quarter. Direct discussions between the potential mezzanine debt providers and KfW IPEX-Bank, the due diligence consultants, the Company's off-take partner and the appointed EPC contractor have also taken place.
In addition to the mezzanine debt providers, there is also interest in financing from the convertible bond market. Other options including a potential royalty stream and a US denominated bond issue directly at the project level. Work streams with potential financiers are expected to continue over the next quarter.
ii. Joint Venture
The Company is assessing the option of a project level joint venture investment with several industrial groups, which if successfully concluded, would likely result in a major reduction in the amount of equity contribution required from Altech shareholders as part of the balance of funds.
A partial sale at the project level in conjunction with mezzanine debt is an attractive option for the Company to secure the majority of the balance of funds, as it will significantly reduce shareholder dilution.
The Company is targeting potential joint venture partners that have speciality industrial materials experience and a strong balance sheet. Various meetings were held during the quarter with potential partners.
iii. Project Equity
Several groups were appointed to assist the Company with the anticipated equity raising that is likely to be required to secure the total balance of funds. The final equity amount has not yet been determined, as it will depend on the amount of mezzanine debt secured; the outcome of the joint venture and project sell down option; any royalty stream sale; plus final financing costs, the working capital requirements and any additional contingency amount.
Altech is targeting potential equity partners that share its longer-term vision for the Company, which is to be a substantial force in the global HPA market. Roadshows and presentations by the Company to the various target regions like Europe, USA, Australia and the Asia-Pacific will continue in the coming quarter.

Malaysian manufacturing licence approved
The Company was advised by the Malaysian Investment Development Authority (MIDA) that its manufacturing licence application for its 4,500tpa high purity alumina (HPA) plant at Johor, Malaysia was approved during the quarter.
The formal manufacturing licence will be issued subject to the submission of various additional documents including a letter of 'No Objection' from the Johor state government.
Subsequent to quarter end, the Company received a letter of 'No Objection' from the Johor State Investment Centre in relation to the formal issuance of the manufacturing licence. As illustrated in Figure 3, upon receipt of the manufacturing licence the Company will be in a position to commence construction of its proposed HPA plant, subject to the issue of land title, local construction permitting and finance close.

==> picture [224 x 256] intentionally omitted <==
==> picture [484 x 73] intentionally omitted <==
Upon issue of the formal manufacturing licence, Altech Malaysia's application for pioneer status (high technology) investment incentive classification will also be confirmed. A project approved as pioneer status (high technology) will benefit from income tax exemption of 100% of its statutory income for a period of five years from the commencement of commercial production. Also, any accumulated losses and unabsorbed capital allowances (depreciation) during the pioneer status period can be carried forward and deducted from post pioneer status period income.
The Company is delighted with the support for its HPA project demonstrated by MIDA and the Johor and Malaysian governments.
The prompt assessment of Altech's manufacturing licence application and the letter of 'No Objection' received is testament to their support for the proposed HPA plant, which will represent a total investment of approximately 1.2 billion ringgit in Malaysia.

Quarterly Report March 2018
Purchase of freehold land over Meckering mining lease completed
During the quarter the Company's wholly-owned subsidiary Altech Meckering Pty Ltd completed the purchase of approximately 92 hectares of freehold land covering its granted mining lease M70/1334, at Meckering, Western Australia.
Altech previously announced that it had exercised its option to purchase the freehold land on 17 October 2017. Settlement of the purchase was subject to the subdivision of the registered land title; the issuing of certificates of title for the new lots created; and final payment of the purchase price, all of which were completed prior to settlement.
Kaolin ore from the Company's Meckering mining lease M70/1334 will provide feedstock for its proposed Malaysian HPA plant. Altech received mining approval for its Meckering kaolin mine in March 2017 and a works approval for the construction of a kaolin screening and loading facility in August 2017.
Finalising the purchase of the freehold land covering granted mining lease M70/1334 marks the completion of another important milestone in the advancement of our HPA project. The land purchase will ensure unimpeded access to M70/1334 for Altech. The proposed Meckering kaolin mine is fully permitted and construction of the kaolin screening and loading facility and initial mining can proceed once the balance of project finance is secured.

Quarterly Report March 2018
Altech lodges new patent application
During the quarter the Company lodged a new provisional patent application with the Australian Patent Office (IP Australia), which incorporates the finished product HPA technology developed by Altech for its HPA project.
The new patent application expands on a previously lodged patent application titled 'A Method for the Preparation of Alumina', which was filed by the Company in October 2014. The existing patent application describes Altech's method of preparing alumina from aluminous material, including kaolin. The new patent application incorporates various refinements and discoveries that were made to the Company's HPA processing route during the due diligence program.
The new application incorporates the Company's most recent process design invention, which relates to the flexible finished product line that is capable of producing HPA product (4N) with specifications required by the synthetic sapphire industry (in the form of high density pellets) as well as specifications required by the lithium-ion battery separator industry (fine powder at sub-micron particle size).
The new patent application covers the following steps (please note the term 'aluminous material' refers to the Company's kaolin):
-
treating aluminous material to reduce particle size and increase the alumina content;
-
calcining the aluminous material;
-
leaching the aluminous material with hydrochloric acid;
-
solid liquid separation to provide a pregnant liquor;
-
crystallising aluminium chloride hexahydrate by adding hydrogen chloride gas;
-
precipitating and separation of aluminium chloride hexahydrate;
-
dissolving the aluminium chloride hexahydrate in water and repeating the crystallisation process;
-
roasting and calcining aluminium chloride hexahydrate to provide alumina; and
-
finishing alumina in either a high-density bead or fine alumina powder.
==> picture [250 x 167] intentionally omitted <==
As part of the project due diligence initiated by KfW IPEX-Bank, a global freedom-to-operate search was also concluded during the quarter to confirm that the Company is able to produce, market, sell, or otherwise distribute HPA that is manufactured by its own unique process. The search, which was conducted by Wrays Patent and Trade Mark Attorneys, involved a comprehensive review of existing alumina manufacturing patents around the world.
The search was conducted across a database covering over 100 patent authorities containing over 60 million patent records. It involved identifying all patents or patent applications in the field of alumina preparation and all patents and patent applications covered by the World Intellectual Property Organisation. The search covered key market countries and areas such as Australia, People's Republic of China, Canada, Federal Republic of Germany, Europe, United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland, Japan, Republic of India, Korea, Russian Federation, Taiwan, United States of America and Malaysia.
The results of the global search confirmed Altech's unique HPA manufacturing process (Intellectual Property). Wrays did not identify any patent or patent application that could assert to prevent the production of HPA by Altech using its unique process in Malaysia, nor prevent the marketing, selling or distribution of its HPA, or products containing its HPA, globally.
The search confirmed Altech's view that its IP for producing HPA from kaolin/aluminous material using its hydrochloric acidbased processing technology is unique; further, the search confirmed that any other party that employs a similar process to produce HPA would most likely be in breach of Altech's IP.

Engineering update
The Altech team, in conjunction with the HPA project’s appointed EPC contractor SMS group (SMS), have been working to progress the plant detailed design in parallel with project funding activities. This has included technical meetings hosted by SMS in Johannesburg during the quarter, which focused on construction methodology and work package sequencing. Meetings were also held with the HPA project’s proposed kiln supplier to confirm design parameters in anticipation of equipment orders early in the project execution phase.
Confirmatory test work has also continued at a number of key equipment vendors’ facilities. Centrifuge testing is now complete, with the results confirming the excellent filtration performance of Altech’s large ACH crystals. Data collected from the filtration test work will be used to finalise the equipment design and operating parameters. Drum scrubber performance has also been tested in order to finalise the beneficiation equipment design. Finally, further testing of the HPA milling and pelletising circuit is underway to finalise equipment sizing and optimise the design for Altech’s product specifications.

Corporate
Investor Roadshows
Altech has focused on consolidating support for its HPA project from its existing cornerstone and institutional shareholder base and via introduction of the investment opportunity in Europe, London, Hong Kong and Australia. The Company's HPA project has resonated with a number of institutional investors, high networth investors and retail investors. Institutional support for the Company has grown considerably in the last 18 months as a result of Altech's investor roadshow campaigns.
Altech is targeting potential equity partners that share its longer-term vision for the Company, which is to be a substantial force in the global HPA market. Roadshows and presentations by the Company to the various target regions including Australia, continued with investor conferences to Brisbane, Sydney and Melbourne.
The Company participated in the Australian Energy and Battery Minerals Investor Conference in Brisbane, March 2018. The Company also participated in the TechKnow Investor conferences in Melbourne and Sydney in April 2018.

ABOUT ALTECH CHEMICALS LTD (ASX:ATC) (FRA:A3Y)
Altech Chemicals Limited (Altech/the Company) is aiming to become one of the world's leading suppliers of 99.99% (4N) high purity alumina (HPA).
HPA is a high-value, high margin and highly demanded product as it is the critical ingredient required for the production of synthetic sapphire. Synthetic sapphire is used in the manufacture of substrates for LED lights, semiconductor wafers used in the electronics industry, and scratch-resistant sapphire glass used for wristwatch faces, optical windows and smartphone components. There is no substitute for HPA in the manufacture of synthetic sapphire.
Global HPA demand is approximately 25,315tpa (2016) and demand is growing at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 16.7% (2016-2024), primarily driven by the growth in worldwide adoption of LEDs. As an energy efficient, longer lasting and lower operating cost form of lighting, LED lighting is replacing the traditional incandescent bulbs.
Current HPA producers use expensive and highly processed feedstock materials such as aluminium metal to produce HPA. Altech has completed a Final Investment Decision Study (FIDS) for the construction and operation of a 4,500tpa HPA plant at the Tanjung Langsat Industrial Complex, Johor, Malaysia. The plant will produce HPA directly from kaolin clay, which will be sourced from the Company's 100%-owned kaolin deposit at Meckering, Western Australia.
Altech's production process will employ conventional “off-the-shelf” plant and equipment to extract HPA using a hydrochloric (HCl) acid-based process. Production costs are anticipated to be considerably lower than established HPA producers.
The Company is currently in the process of securing project financing with the aim of commencing project development in mid-2018.
