I. INTRODUCTION
This supplementary circular should be read in conjunction with the Original Circular. Unless the context otherwise specified or as specified in the section headed “Definitions” in this supplementary circular, the capitalised terms used in this supplementary circular shall have the same meanings as those defined in the Original Circular.
Reference is made to the announcement of the Company dated 20 June 2017.

LETTER FROM THE BOARD
The purpose of this supplementary circular is to give you (1) amendments to the information set out in the Original Circular relating to very substantial acquisition – acquisition of Coal & Allied from Rio Tinto; (2) amendments to the information set out in the Original Circular relating to the proposed application for the issue of not more than 647,000,000 A Shares in the PRC; and (3) the notices of the EGM, 3rd A Shareholders’ Class Meeting and 3rd H Shareholders’ Class Meeting, which are set out on pages 13 to 20 of this supplementary circular.
II. VERY SUBSTANTIAL ACQUISITION – ACQUISITION OF COAL & ALLIED FROM RIO TINTO
References are made to the announcements dated 24 January 2017, 24 May 2017, 11 June 2017, 12 June 2017, 20 June 2017 and 26 June 2017 of the Company (collectively, the “Announcements”) and the Original Circular in relation to, among others, the Acquisition.
AMENDMENT DEED TO THE SPA
On 20 June 2017, the Purchaser and the Vendors entered into an amendment deed to the SPA (the “ Amendment Deed ”). Pursuant to the Amendment Deed, the SPA is amended to the effect that:
-
(i) the Deferred Payment Amounts of total USD500 million will be paid at the Completion, which increases the total amount payable by the Purchaser at the Completion to USD2.45 billion (subject to the adjustment as prescribed in the SPA). In respect of the adjustments, please refer to section 2.9(d) headed “Purchase Price Adjustment” under section VIII of the “Letter from the Board” in the Original Circular for more details;
-
(ii) the Financial Assurance Letter (as defined below) shall be executed by Yankuang Group to reflect the financial assurance undertaking given by Yankuang Group and a deposit arrangement. Please refer to the paragraph headed “Financial Assistance Made by Yankuang Group” below for more detail;
-
(iii) the Purchaser has agreed to waive its right to terminate the SPA in the case of Material Adverse Change (the “ MAC Waiver ”). As a result, section 2.7 headed “Termination for material change” under section VIII of the “Letter from the Board” in the Original Circular is no longer applicable except that the SPA remains subject to termination on other customary grounds as specified in the SPA;
-
(iv) the Condition Precedent of approval from the Minister responsible for the Mining Act 1992 (NSW) (the “ NSW Minister’s Approval ”) (i.e. the Condition Precedent set out in paragraph (a) in section 2.5 headed “Conditions Precedent” under section VIII of the “Letter from the Board” in the Original Circular (the “ Conditions Precedent Section ”)), shall be waived (the “ Minister Waiver ”); and
– 3 –
LETTER FROM THE BOARD
- (v) the Condition Precedent of PRC outbound investment approval from the State Administration of Foreign Exchange of the PRC (國家外匯管理局, “ SAFE ”)(the “ SAFE Approval ”) (i.e. the Condition Precedent set out in paragraph (b)(ii)(4) in the Conditions Precedent Section) shall be waived if such is not obtained on or before 3 July 2017 (the “ SAFE Waiver ”, together with Minister Waiver, the “ CP Waiver ”).
The reason for the amendment (i) above was primarily due to the intention of Yancoal Australia to make a more attractive proposal to Rio Tinto as compared to the competing proposal offered by Glencore, the competitor of Yancoal Australia. Please refer to the announcement of the Company dated 11 June 2017.
The MAC Waiver and CP Waiver (together, the “ Waivers ”) were requested by the Vendors in order to provide greater certainty to Rio Tinto’s shareholders that the Acquisition would complete. After balancing the overall benefits of the Acquisition for Yancoal Australia and the Waivers, Yancoal Australia agreed to the Waivers and did not consider the Waivers as material concessions to make under the circumstances given: (a) the NSW Minister’s Approval has been obtained; (b) the high probability of obtaining SAFE approvals in due course and prior to Completion; and (c) the low probability of an event occurring before the Completion that would trigger the Material Adverse Change termination rights.
The Company considers that SAFE process is administrative in nature which involves primarily the filing of relevant documents by the Company rather a substantial review by the SAFE. The Company will make the necessary filings with the SAFE in advance and, after taking into account of the reasonable period which may be required for the SAFE to complete the approval process, expect to obtain the SAFE Approval before 3 July 2017. As such, the Company accept the term that the condition precedent of the SAFE Approval to be waived automatically after 3 July 2017. The SAFE Approval relates to the Company’s intention to subscribe for its entitlement in the YAL Rights Issue. Please refer to section 6 headed “The Company’s Support of the YAL Rights Issue” under section VIII of the “Letter from the Board” in the Original Circular for details. If the Company could not obtain the SAFE Approval before the Completion, the Company believes it could employ funds or other financial means available overseas, which do not require the SAFE Approval, to subscribe its entitlement in YAL Rights Issue. As such, and given the high probability of obtaining the SAFE Approval, the Company do not expect that the failure to obtain the SAFE Approval before the Completion would affect the Completion.
As stated above, after balancing the Waivers and the overall benefits of the Acquisition for Yancoal Australia and the Company, the Board considers that the provision of the Waivers is in the interest of the Company and its Shareholders. Please refer to section 5 headed “Reasons for and Benefits of the Acquisition” under section VIII of the “Letter from the Board” in the Original Circular for more details.

LETTER FROM THE BOARD
FURTHER AMENDMENT DOCUMENTATION
On 26 June 2017, the Purchaser entered into further amending documentation with the Vendors amending the SPA and associated royalty arrangements (the “ Further Amendment Documentation ”). Pursuant to the Further Amendment Documentation, the SPA and associated royalty arrangements are amended to the effect that:
-
(i) The cap amount of the aggregate amount of royalties payable by the C&A subsidiaries under all of the Royalty Deeds is reduced to USD410 million. Please refer to section 2.12(d) headed “Royalty Deed” under section VIII of the “Letter from the Board” in the Original Circular for more details;
-
(ii) A new royalty arrangement deed (the “ Royalty Arrangement Deed ”) shall be executed and delivered at the Completion. Pursuant to the Royalty Arrangement Deed:
-
Yancoal Australia shall pay ACH non-contingent royalty amounts (the “ Non-Contingent Royalty Amounts ”) as follows:
-
a. total USD110 million in respect of the period from the date of the Royalty Arrangement Deed to 31 December 2017;
-
b. total USD90 million in respect of the period from 1 January 2018 to 31 December 2018;
-
c. total USD20 million in respect of the period from 1 January 2019 to 31 December 2019;
-
d. total USD10 million in respect of the period from 1 January 2020 to 31 December 2020; and
-
e. total USD10 million in respect of the period from 1 January 2021 to 31 December 2021.
-
-
Yancoal Australia shall provide five letters of credit to ACH on the date of the Royalty Arrangement Deed, in amounts equal to the Non-Contingent Royalty Amounts to be paid in respect of each period to secure the payment of those amounts.
-
(iii) the Purchaser must provide the Vendors with drafts of the five letters of credit referred to in the Royalty Arrangement Deed no later than 17 July 2017;
– 5 –
LETTER FROM THE BOARD
The amendment (i) and (ii) above was primarily due to the intention of Yancoal Australia to provide Rio Tinto with certainty on the consideration it would receive under the SPA while maintaining a deferred payment structure. As the Non-Contingent Royalty Amounts are in the form of royalty payments, the cap amount of the aggregate amount of royalties payable by the C&A subsidiaries under all of the Royalty Deeds is reduced accordingly. The arrangement was a result of commercial negotiations between parties after Glencore, the competitor of Yancoal Australia, made an improved offer to Rio Tinto. Please refer to the announcement of the Company dated 26 June 2017.
Completion is conditional upon the satisfaction of all the Conditions Precedent set out in the SPA. Shareholders and potential investors should exercise caution when dealing in the securities of the Company. If the Shareholders and potential investors of the Company are in any doubt about their position, they should consult their professional advisors.
FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE MADE BY YANKUANG GROUP
On 20 June 2017, Yankuang Group entered into a financial assurance letter (the “ Financial Assurance Letter ”) with the Vendors. On 26 June 2017, a revised financial assurance letter (the “ Revised Financial Assurance Letter ”) was entered into by Yankuang Group which replaced the Financial Assurance Letter in its entirety. Pursuant to the Revised Financial Assurance Letter, Yankuang Group unconditionally and irrevocably undertakes to the Vendors that, if the YAL Rights Issue does not raise at least USD2.1 billion, Yankuang Group will place sufficient funds for Yancoal Australia to pay, and will ensure that Yancoal Australia pays, the USD2.45 billion purchase price at the Completion as required under the SPA. The maximum liability of Yankuang Group under the undertaking is USD2.1 billion.
Pursuant to the Revised Financial Assurance Letter, by no later than 27 June 2017, Yankuang Group (or an affiliate of Yankuang Group) will (i) provide a deposit of USD100 million (the “ Cash Component ”) into escrow for the Vendors and (ii) within 21 days after the date of the Revised Financial Assurance Letter, deliver to the Vendors an irrevocable and unconditional bank guarantee for USD125 million in favour of the Vendors (the “ Letter of Credit ”).
If Yancoal Australia fails to complete the Acquisition on the basis of default at the Completion, then (i) the Cash Component will be forfeited; and (ii) the Vendors shall be entitled to immediately call for payment under the Letter of Credit. If the SPA is terminated for any other reasons, the Cash Component (together with all interest accrued thereon), shall be refunded to Yankuang Group, and the Vendor must return the undrawn Letter of Credit to Yankuang Group. If Completion occurs, Yankuang Group shall be entitled to be paid the Cash Component (together with all interest accrued thereon) and the Vendor must return the undrawn Letter of Credit to Yankuang Group.
The financial assistance provided by Yankuang Group to the Company in relation to the Revised Financial Assurance Letter will be on normal commercial terms and no specific term or interest rate has been decided as of the Supplementary Circular Latest Practicable Date.

LETTER FROM THE BOARD
Implications under the Hong Kong Listing Rules
Yankuang Group is a controlling Shareholder of the Company holding directly or indirectly approximately 56.59% of the issued share capital of the Company as at the Supplementary Circular Latest Practicable Date and thus a connected person of the Company under the Hong Kong Listing Rules.
As the financial assistance made by Yankuang Group to the Company pursuant to the Financial Assurance Letter is on normal commercial terms, and no security over the assets of the Group is or will be granted in respect of such financial assistance, such financial assistance is fully exempt from reporting, announcement, annual review and independent shareholders’ approval requirements under Rule 14A.90 of the Hong Kong Listing Rules.
ACCEPTANCE OF THE TAG-ALONG OFFER OF HVO JOINT VENTURE
On 12 June 2017, HVOR has accepted the Tag-along Offer. The terms of the Tag Transaction remain the same as those set out in section 3 headed “Tag-Along Offer of HVO Joint Venture” under section VIII of the “Letter from the Board” in the Original Circular.
WARKWORTH CALL OPTION
Reference is made to the announcements dated 12 June 2017. Yancoal Australia was granted an irrevocable right (the “ Call Option ”) by Mitsubishi Development Pty Ltd (“ MDP ”), which owns 100% of HVOR, to purchase 28.898% of its equity interest (the “ MDP’s Warkworth interest ”) in Warkworth Joint Venture with an exercise price of US$230 million (the “ Exercise Price ”). As at the Supplementary Circular Latest Practicable Date, C&A holds 55.574% of the equity interest in Warkworth Joint Venture. The premium being paid by Yancoal Australia is USD10 million (the “ Premium ”), which would be paid at completion of the Tag Transaction and will be set off against the Exercise Price when Yancoal Australia exercises the Call Option. Yancoal Australia may exercise the option at any time from the date of the Completion up to 31 December 2018.
The purchase of MDP’s Warkworth interest is subject to certain conditions precedent, including (i) waiver (or non-exercise) of rights of pre-emption held by other participants in the Warkworth Joint Venture; (ii) completion of the Tag Transaction; and (iii) to the extent required, receipt of regulatory approvals (comprising Australian Foreign Investment Review Board and PRC outbound approvals from (1) the State-owned Asset Supervision and Administration Commission of Shandong Provincial Government(山東省人民政府國有資產監 督管理委員會), (2) the National Development and Reform Commission(國家發展與改革委員 會), (3) the Ministry of Commerce of the PRC (中華人民共和國商務部); and (4) the State Administration of Foreign Exchange of the PRC (國家外匯管理局); and (iv) if required, approval by shareholders of the Company and/or Yancoal Australia.
Implications under the Hong Kong Listing Rules
Pursuant to Rule14.75(1) of the Hong Kong Listing Rules, the Premium does not represent 10% or more of the sum of the Premium and the Exercise Price, and the relevant highest applicable percentage ratio (as defined in the Hong Kong Listing Rules) of the
– 7 –
LETTER FROM THE BOARD
Premium is less than 5%. Therefore, being granted the Call Option does not constitute a notifiable transaction under Chapter 14 of the Hong Kong Listing Rules. The Company will comply with the relevant applicable rules under Chapter 14 or Chapter 14A, where applicable, of the Hong Kong Listing Rules upon exercise of the Call Option by Yancoal Australia.
FINANCIAL EFFECT OF THE ACQUISITION
Due to the acceptance of the Tag-along Offer, the acceleration of the Purchase Price at Completion and amended royalty payments arrangement, section 7.3 headed “Financial Effects” under section VIII of the “Letter from the Board” in the Original Circular shall be replaced by the below:
Upon completion of the Acquisition, C&A will become a 100%-owned subsidiary of Yancoal Australia and thus a consolidated subsidiary of the Company. In addition to the Acquisition, after Yancoal Australia acquires the Participating Interest of HVOR, Yancoal Australia will own an additional 32.4% interest in HVO upon completion of the Tag Transaction. The table below sets forth, for illustrative purposes only, the key financials of the Group and the pro forma financial information of the Enlarged Group after the completion of the Acquisition and Tag Transaction (“ Scenario ”), assuming that the completion of the Acquisition and Tag Transaction, had occurred as at December 31, 2016 (for unaudited pro forma consolidated statement of financial position) or January 1, 2016 (for unaudited pro forma consolidated statement of profit or loss).

B. NOTES TO THE SUPPLEMENTARY PRO FORMA FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF THE ENLARGED GROUP
-
The balances are extracted from Scenario 2 in section A of Appendix X to the Original Circular to illustrate the effect of the Tag-Along Offer.
-
The adjustments are the differences arising from the change in the consideration of the Proposed Acquisition.
As set out in the Original Circular, the consideration for the Proposed Acquisition is USD2.45 billion where USD1.95 billion is payable upon Completion plus five deferred payments of USD100 million (the “ Deferred Consideration ”) each payable on the first, second, third, fourth and fifth anniversary of the Completion Date. The fair value of the Deferred Consideration estimated by the directors of the Company is USD0.4 billion.
For the purposes of the Original Unaudited Pro Forma Financial Information, finance cost of RMB212,698,000 was recognised at the effective interest rate of 7.93% on the Deferred Consideration and a gain on bargain purchase of RMB4,876,325,000 had been recognised.
As a result of changes in the term of the Proposed Acquisition, the Consideration has been changed to USD2.45 billion which will be payable as a single upfront payment at the Completion.
-
The adjustments are the further amending documentation with the Vendors amending the SPA and associated royalty arrangements (the “ Further Amendment Documentation ”) on 26 June 2017. According to Further Amendment Documentation, a new royalty arrangement deed (the “ Royalty Arrangement Deed ”) shall be executed and delivered at the date of completion. According to the Royalty Arrangement Deed, the cap amount of the aggregate amount of royalty payable by the C&A subsidiaries under all of the Royalty Deeds is reduced to USD410 million which has no effect on the pro forma financial information of the Enlarged Group as mentioned in the Original Unaudited Pro Forma Financial Information. Yancoal Australia will pay ACH USD240 million as the non-contingent royalty (“ Non-Contingent Royalty ”) in 5 years as follows:
-
a) in respect of the period from the date of the Royalty Arrangement Deed to 31 December 2017, royalties totaling USD110 million;
-
b) in respect of the period from 1 January 2018 to 31 December 2018, royalties totaling USD90 million;
-
c) in respect of the period from 1 January 2019 to 31 December 2019, royalties totaling USD20 million;
– I-13 –
APPENDIX I SUPPLEMENTARY UNAUDITED PRO FORMA FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF THE ENLARGED GROUP
-
d) in respect of the period from 1 January 2020 to 31 December 2020, USD10 million; and
-
e) in respect of the period from 1 January 2021 to 31 December 2021, USD10 million.
The Non-Contingent Royalty payable is measured based on the Royalty Arrangement Deed. The Non-Contingent Royalty payable with the amount of RMB737,528,000 expected to be paid in the next 12 months is disclosed as current liabilities and the discounted expected future cash flows for royalty payable beyond 12 months of RMB767,700,000 (or USD114,500,000) in aggregate is disclosed as a non-current payable. As the Non-Contingent Royalty to be paid by the Group is unconditional payments, it forms part of the consideration of the Proposed Acquisition and will affect the gain on bargain purchase as mentioned in note 4 below.
For the purposes of the unaudited pro forma statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income, finance cost of RMB67,048,000 was recognised at the effective interest rate of 10% on the royalty payable.
For the purposes of the unaudited pro forma statement of financial position, the Consideration is translated into RMB at the exchange rate RMB6.7048 to USD1.
