Background to Voluntary Suspension

The Company is currently in Voluntary Suspension for two, separate pending outcomes:

The Company refers investors to its announcement of 7 June 2019 for the background and status of the India project and the proposed WTE acquisition.

The Company’s recently appointed Chairman & Managing Director of ECT India and the Chairman of ECT Limited are meeting with senior executives from NMDC Limited in India during the week commencing 17 June 2019.

The HoA sets out the proposed terms of the transaction, subject to a 4-week exclusivity period through which detailed due diligence is progressing.

As at the time of this release the parties are yet to complete the due diligence process and, per the 7 June announcement, have agreed to a 14-day extension. The completion date is expected to be 3 July 2019 unless the transaction is completed earlier.

ECT will provide further announcements as required.

About Coldry

About Matmor

The Matmor process has the potential to revolutionise primary iron making.

Matmor is a simple, low cost, low emission production technology, utilising the patented Matmor retort, which enables the use of cheaper feedstocks to produce primary iron.

About the India R&D Project

The India project is aimed at advancing the Company’s Coldry and Matmor technologies to demonstration and pilot scale, respectively, on the path to commercial deployment.

ECT has partnered with NLC India Limited and NMDC Limited to jointly fund and execute the project.
