      The Combined claw-back and rights offer shares have not been, and will not be, registered under the
      Securities Act of the United States. Accordingly, the Combined claw-back and rights offer shares may
      not be offered, sold, resold, delivered or transferred, directly or indirectly, in or into the United States
      or to, or for the account or benefit of, United States persons, except pursuant to exemptions from the

      jurisdiction in which, or to any person to whom, it would not be lawful to make such an offer.

      to determine whether any governmental or other consents are required or other formalities need to be
      observed to allow them to take up the Combined claw-back and rights offer, or trade their entitlement.
      Shareholders holding Wescoal ordinary shares on behalf of persons who are resident outside of the
      Common Monetary Area are responsible for ensuring that taking up the Combined claw-back and rights
      offer, or trading in their entitlements under that offer, do not breach regulations in the relevant
      overseas jurisdictions.
