the MCPP to be released in the near term. On 25 August 2016, Kibo signed an Agreement with
China based EPC contractor SEPCO III granting it the right to become the sole bidder for the EPC
contract to build the power plant component of the MCPP in exchange for SEPCO III refunding
50% of the development costs incurred by Kibo to date on the project. Kibo has already received
