Request to ASX for Extension to Voluntary Suspension The Waterberg Coal Company Limited (Incorporated in Australia) (Registration number ABN 64 065 480 453) ASX: WCC | JSE: WCC | ISIN: AU000000WCC9 (“WCC” or “the Company”) Request to ASX for Extension to Voluntary Suspension The Company has made a request to the Australian Stock Exchange Limited (ASX) for an extension to its current voluntary suspension in the trading of its securities which expired prior to commencement of trade on Monday 24 August 2015. In accordance with ASX Listing Rule 17.2, WCC advises that: (a) it is seeking the extension to the voluntary suspension to allow time to finalise a proposed third party funding arrangement to replace its existing funding facility (Facility) with The Standard Bank of South Africa Limited (SBSA) which was due for repayment on 9 April 2015 (as announced on 17 March 2015). The completion of discussions and documentation for the replacement funding represents a significant transaction and the final terms of the proposal will impact WCC's ability to carry out its future objectives; (b) SBSA has advised that it will maintain the Facility as “on demand”, rolling daily basis, to give the discussions time to progress; (c) The Company is of the view that re-instatement of trading for its securities at this time is likely to be materially prejudicial to its ability to successfully complete the complex funding transaction contemplated which is critical to the Company’s financial viability. (d) it expects the voluntary suspension to remain in place until the earlier of: (A) the date that it has made an announcement in respect of its proposed funding arrangement; and (B) commencement of trade on 7 September 2015; (e) it is not aware of any reason why the securities should not be suspended; and (f) is not aware of any other information necessary to inform the market about the suspension.
