4.1

Key terms of Umbono Convertible Loan

The key terms of the Umbono Convertible Loan are:

  • (a) On 10 August 2015, the Company made a first drawdown on the Umbono Convertible Loan of A$985,000, being an amount equal to the outstanding balance of the existing loan with Umbono to repay the existing Umbono loan in full.

  • (b) The Company may make further drawdowns under the Umbono Convertible Loan for additional amounts to be mutually agreed between Umbono and the Company, subject to all drawdowns under the Umbono Convertible Loan not exceeding US$2,000,000.

  • (c) The Umbono Convertible Loan is secured against up to 40% of the shares Sunbird Ibhubesi holds in Anschutz SA.

  • (d) An interest rate of 20% per annum applies to all Umbono Secured Moneys under the Umbono Convertible Loan.

  • (e) All Umbono Secured Moneys under the Umbono Convertible Loan must be repaid by the Repayment Date.

  • (f) The Company can repay any or all of the Umbono Secured Moneys at any time prior to the Repayment Date.

7

  • (g) Subject to Shareholder approval, the Company issues the Umbono Conversion Right to Umbono.

4.2 Umbono Conversion Right

Subject to Shareholder approval, the Umbono Convertible Loan grants Umbono the Umbono Conversion Right, being the right to convert all or part of the Umbono Secured Moneys into Shares, at any time prior to the Repayment Date at an issue price of:

  • (a) if exercised within 20 Business Days of the Company completing a Capital Raising, the higher of:

  • (i) the subscription price per Share under the Capital Raising; and

  • (ii) A$0.01 per share; and

  • (b) otherwise, A$0.12 per Share,

( Conversion Price ).

4.3 Implications of exercise of Umbono Conversion Right

The number of Shares that may be issued upon the exercise of the Umbono Conversion Right is uncertain as it is dependent on numerous factors including:

  • (a) The timing of the conversion.

  • (b) The amount converted.

  • (c) The amount and timing of any additional drawdowns.

  • (d) The amount and timing of any repayments.

  • (e) The amount of any interest accrued.

  • (f) The US$ to A$ exchange rate at the time of the conversion.

Accordingly, the below table shows 3 scenarios:

  • (a) Scenario 1 — the Umbono Conversion Right is exercised within 20 Business Days of the Company completing a Capital Raising with an issue price of less than A$0.01.

  • (b) Scenario 2 — the Umbono Conversion Right is exercised within 20 Business Days of the Company completing a Capital Raising with an issue price of more than A$0.01. By way of example only, an issue price of A$0.08 is used in the table.

  • (c) Scenario 3 — the Umbono Conversion Right is not exercised within 20 Business Days of the Company completing a Capital Raising.

The table assumes that:

  • (a) Umbono converts all of the US$2,000,000 into Shares.

  • (b) No interest is accrued.

  • (c) The Company makes no repayments.

8

(d) The US$ to A$ exchange rate is US$1:A$1.35

Scenario Number of Shares issued
Scenario 1 270,000,000
Scenario2 33,750,000
Scenario 3 22,500,000

4.4 Shareholder Approval condition subsequent

It is a condition subsequent to the Umbono Conversion Loan that Shareholder approval is obtained in relation to the Umbono Conversion Right.

The failure of the Shareholders to approve the Umbono Conversion Right before 6 October 2015 (60 days after the execution of the Umbono Loan Deed) is an event of default giving Umbono the right to require the payment within 10 days of:

  • (a) the Umbono Secured Moneys; and

  • (b) a break fee of US$100,000.

In the event that the Shareholders do not approve the issue of the Umbono Conversion Right (i.e approve Resolution 1) the Umbono Convertible Loan will remain as a nonconvertible loan.

4.5 ASX Waiver

The Umbono Conversion Loan also requires that the Company apply to ASX for a waiver in respect of Listing Rule 10.1 for the granting of the security over 40% of the shares Sunbird Ibhubesi holds in Anschutz SA pursuant to the Umbono Loan Deed.

In accordance with Listing Rule 10.1, an entity must ensure that neither it, nor any of its child entities, among other things, disposes of a substantial asset to a substantial holder in the entity if the person and the person's associates have a relevant interest, or had a relevant interest at any time in the 6 months before the transaction, in at least 10% of the total votes attached to the voting securities in the entity, without shareholder approval.

An asset is "substantial" if its value, or the value of the consideration paid for it, is 5% or more of the equity interests of the entity as shown in the latest accounts given to ASX pursuant to the Listing Rules.

We understand that ASX considers that entering into a charge or other security by a listed entity constitutes a deemed disposal of the underlying assets by that entity for the purposes of Listing Rule 10.1.

The grant to Umbono, who holds more than 10% of the Shares in the Company, of security over 40% of the shares Sunbird Ibhubesi ultimately holds in Anschutz SA constituted a deemed disposal of the underlying assets of the Company for the purposes of Listing Rule 10.1.

On 1 September 2015, the Company applied to ASX for a waiver in respect of Listing Rule 10.1 to allow the Company to grant to Umbono security over 40% of the shares Sunbird Ibhubesi holds over Anschutz SA ( Waiver Application ). As at the date of this

9

Notice the Company has not received ASX's decision on the Waiver Application. The Company expects to receive ASX's decision on the Waiver Application by September 2015. There is no guarantee the waiver will be granted.

If ASX does not grant a waiver before 6 October 2015 (60 days after the execution of the Umbono Loan Deed) an event of default will arise under the Umbono Loan Deed giving Umbono the right to require the payment within 10 days of:

  • (a) the Umbono Secured Moneys; and

  • (b) a break fee of US$100,000.

4.6 Events of default

The occurrence of an Event of Default gives Umbono the right to require the Company to repay the Umbono Secured Moneys within 21 days.

5. Overview of Mackintosh Convertible Loan

On 6 August 2015, the Company, Sunbird Ibhubesi and Allan Mackintosh agreed to refinance the Company's existing loan with Allan Mackintosh, which had an outstanding amount of approximately A$500,000 by providing the Company with a loan of up to A$1,000,000 pursuant to the Mackintosh Loan Deed.

5.1

Key terms of the Mackintosh Convertible Loan

The key terms of the Mackintosh Convertible Loan were:

  • (c) The Mackintosh Convertible Loan is secured against 15.58% of the shares Sunbird Ibhubesi ultimately holds in Anschutz SA.

  • (d) An interest rate of 20% per annum applies to all the Mackintosh Secured Moneys.

  • (e) All Mackintosh Secured Moneys under the Mackintosh Loan Deed must be repaid by the Repayment Date.

  • (f) The Company can repay any or all of the Mackintosh Secured Moneys at any time prior to the Repayment Date.

  • (g) Subject to Shareholder approval, the Company issues the Mackintosh Conversion Right to Allan Mackintosh.

10

5.2 Mackintosh Conversion Right

Subject to Shareholder approval, the Mackintosh Convertible Loan grants Allan Mackintosh the Mackintosh Conversion Right, being the right to convert all or part of the Mackintosh Secured Moneys into Shares at any time prior to the Repayment Date at the Conversion Price.

5.3 Implications of exercise of Mackintosh Conversion Right

The number of Shares that may be issued upon the exercise of the Mackintosh Conversion Right is uncertain as it is dependent on numerous factors including:

  • (a) The timing of the conversion.

  • (b) The amount converted.

  • (c) The amount and timing of any additional drawdowns.

  • (d) The amount and timing of any repayments.

  • (e) The amount of interest accrued.

  • (b) No interest is accrued.

  • (c) The Company makes no repayments.

Scenario Number of Shares issued
Scenario1 100,000,000
Scenario2 12,500,000
Scenario 3 8,333,333

5.4 Shareholder Approval condition precedent

It is a condition precedent to further drawdowns beyond the first drawdown described in Section 5.1(a) that the Mackintosh Conversion Right is approved by Shareholders.

11

The failure of the Shareholders to approve the Mackintosh Conversion Right before 5 October 2015 (60 days after the execution of the Mackintosh Loan Deed) is an event of default giving Mackintosh the right to require the payment within 10 days of:

  • (a) the Mackintosh Secured Moneys; and

  • (b) a break fee of US$100,000.

In the event that the Shareholders do not approve the issue of the Mackintosh Conversion Right (i.e approve Resolution 2) the Mackintosh Convertible Loan will remain as a non-convertible loan.

5.5 Events of default

The occurrence of an Event of Default gives Allan Mackintosh the right to require the Company to repay the Mackintosh Secured Moneys within 21 days.

It is a condition precedent to further drawdowns beyond the first drawdown described in Section 7.1(a) that the Cornish Conversion Right is approved by Shareholders.

The failure of the Shareholders to approve the Cornish Conversion Right before 5 October 2015 (60 days after the execution of the Cornish Loan Deed) is an event of default giving Neville Cornish the right to require the payment within 10 days of:

  • (a) the Cornish Secured Moneys; and

  • (b) a break fee of US$100,000.

In the event that the Shareholders do not approve the issue of the Cornish Conversion Right (i.e approve Resolution 4) the Cornish Convertible Loan will remain as a nonconvertible loan.

7.5 Events of default

The occurrence of an Event of Default gives Neville Cornish the right to require the Company to repay the Cornish Secured Moneys within 21 days.
