WINSWAY ENTERPRISES HOLDINGS LIMITED 永 暉 實 業 控 股股 份 有 限 公 司

(formerly known as ‘‘WINSWAY COKING COAL HOLDINGS LIMITED 永暉焦煤股份有限公司’’) (Incorporated in the British Virgin Islands with limited liability) (Stock Code: 1733)

ANNOUNCEMENT UPDATE ON THE PROPOSED RESTRUCTURING PURSUANT TO RULE 3.7 OF THE TAKEOVERS CODE AND

CONTINUOUS SUSPENSION OF TRADING

This announcement is made by Winsway Enterprises Holdings Limited (the ‘‘Company’’) pursuant to Rule 3.7 of The Codes on Takeovers and Mergers and Share Repurchases (the ‘‘Takeovers Code’’), Rule 13.09(2) of the Rules Governing the Listing of Securities on The Stock Exchange of Hong Kong Limited (the ‘‘Stock Exchange’’) and the Inside Information Provisions under Part XIVA of the Securities and Futures Ordinance (Chapter 571 of the Laws of Hong Kong).

Reference is made to the announcements of the Company dated 26 November 2015, 22 December 2015, 28 December 2015, 6 January 2016, 24 January 2016 and 28 January 2016 (the ‘‘Announcements’’) in relation to, amongst others, entering into the Restructuring Support Agreement on 25 November 2015 and the discussion relating to the possible Rights Issue and the Debt Restructuring. Capitalised terms used in this announcement shall bear the same meanings as those defined in the Announcements unless the context requires otherwise.

The Board announces that on 23 February 2016 (after trading hours), the Company, the Subsidiary Guarantors and certain Consenting Bondholders entered into an extension letter (the ‘‘Extension Letter’’) in relation to the Restructuring Support Agreement, pursuant to which the Steering Committee Majority agreed to the extension of the following dates:

  1. an extension of the date by which agreement must be reached between the Company and the Steering Committee Majority on the final form of the Restructuring Documents (other than the Prospectus Documents) from 19 February 2016 to 26 February 2016; and

– 1 –

  1. an extension of the date by which a Whitewash Waiver must be obtained from 25 February 2016 to 24 March 2016.

Except as specifically provided above, all other terms and conditions of the Restructuring Support Agreement shall remain in full force and effect and are unaffected by the Extension Letter.

CONTINUOUS SUSPENSION OF TRADING

At the request of the Company, trading in the Shares has been suspended with effect from 9:00 a.m. on 31 August 2015, pending the publication of the Interim Results. Trading in the Shares will remain suspended until further notice.

Further announcement(s) will be made in respect of any further development with regard to the possible Rights Issue and/or the Debt Restructuring as and when necessary in accordance with the Listing Rules and the Takeovers Code.

There is no assurance that the possible Rights Issue will either materialise or eventually be consummated. Accordingly, there is no certainty that a decision will be made by the Company to proceed with the Rights Issue. In any event, if the possible Rights Issue materialises, its completion and the completion of the Debt Restructuring would be expected to be inter-conditional. If the possible Rights Issue does not materialise, the Company will need to seek to continue exploring other solutions with the Steering Committee to effect the Debt Restructuring (or a substantially similar transaction) and any other potential investor(s) to effect the Restructuring as a whole. Shareholders and potential investors are advised to exercise caution when dealing in the securities of the Company, and if in any doubt, they should consult their professional advisers.
