ASX ANNOUNCEMENT / MEDIA RELEASE

12 August 2020

Final BBM Vendor Payment Converted to Production Based Payment

Highlights

  • Cokal has signed a Settlement Agreement for the deferred purchase consideration of PT Bumi Barito, owner of the BBM Project

  • US$200,000 plus US$ amount per tonne of coal sales

Cokal Limited ( ASX:CKA , “ Cokal ” or “the Company ”) advises that it has entered into a Settlement Agreement with BBM Vendor Mr Hery Gianto relating to the US$10M contingent liability in respect of the acquisition of 60% of PT Bumi Barito, the holder of the BBM Project.

Previously this final BBM Vendor payment was due on commencement of production.

It has now been agreed that an amount of US$10.5 million will be paid via:

  1. US$200,000 within 30 days of signing the agreement;

  2. During the first and second year of coal sales to a third party, monthly at a rate of US$2 per tonne of coal sold;

  3. From the third year of coal sales to a third party, monthly at a rate of US$3 per tonne of coal sold.

Payments under items 2 and 3 are to total US$10.3 million.

The Chairman, Domenic Martino, commented “ this is the last of the significant legacy financial commitments that Cokal had on its balance sheet and in its contingent liabilities, which has now been removed from immediate payment. With this settlement agreement and the conversion by Alpine of the Platinum debt to a payment per tonne of coal sold, Cokal is now free to enter the production phase without any legacy debt impedement. All of the stake holders are now aligned to successful production from the BBM mine .”

This settlement does not affect Cokal’s right to recoup the substantial loans owing to Cokal by PT Bumi Barito minority shareholders for the funding provided by Cokal in the development of BBM. Effectively 100% of the net cashflow from BBM will now flow to Cokal until these loans are repaid.

The Company is also pleased to announce that it has appointed well-known stockbroker Taylor Collison as its corporate advisor. Taylor Collison will assist the Company with financial services including general corporate advisory and capital markets advice, assistance with documentation and preparation of marketing materials, and deal structuring. Taylor Collison will be paid a Corporate Advisory Retainer of AU$10,000 (excl GST) per month which is payable in shares at an issue price of the lower of either 5 cents per share or the 5 day VWAP at the issue date, with a floor price of 4 cents per share. The agreement is for 12 months, with 50% of shares to be issued at 3 months and 50% at 9 months. Either party may terminate
