Cautionary announcement
WESCOAL ENTERS NEGOTIATIONS TO INCREASE BLACK ECONOMIC EMPOWERMENT
(“BEE”) OWNERSHIP


Wescoal has entered negotiations to increase its BEE ownership (“the BEE transaction”) and
shareholders are advised to exercise caution when dealing in Wescoal’s shares until a
further announcement in this regard is published.

In this respect the attention of shareholders is drawn to the SENS announcement released
on 17 August 2016 relating to the long term coal supply agreement entered into with Eskom
and Wescoal’s obligation therein to transform its BEE ownership to more than 50% by end
December 2016.
