This announcement is made pursuant to Rule 13.18 of the Listing Rules with respect to an agreement for a coal pre-export loan facility of US$150,000,000 with a greenshoe option of up to US$50,000,000 entered into by the Company with the Banks.

The outstanding balance of the existing term loan facilities is US$130,000,000. The Facilities will allow the Company to extend maturity of funding facilities, and to finance general working capital and capital expenditure requirements of the Company. The Facilities shall be repaid by the Company in installments with the last repayment date falling on the earlier of 33[rd] month from the first drawdown date of the Facilities Agreement and 1 December 2016.
