The content of the Report is as follows:

1. Introduction
   1.1. The business rescue proceedings of the Company have not been
        concluded within three months of the date of commencement
        thereof, and therefore this update report is being tabled in
        terms of section 132(3)(a) of the Companies Act 71 of 2008
        (“Act”).
   1.2. It is important to read this report in conjunction with the
        Business Rescue Plan (“Plan”) and previous update reports.


2. Update on Business Rescue Proceedings

   2.2. The refurbishment of the Structural Mill has been completed.
   2.3. An agreement has been concluded for the sale of the Structural
        Mill assets to a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company (please

        affected persons which details the structure.)




                                                                                  1

   Other Strategic Assets

   2.5. The joint BRPs continue to engage with buyers on several of the
          Company’s strategic assets.

          was made on 12 April 2017.


3. Update Meeting:
   3.1. A further general meeting of affected persons has been convened
          for 10h00 on 20 June 2017 at the offices of Edward Nathan
          Sonnenbergs Inc., 150 West Street, Sandton, to provide affected
          persons with an update on the business rescue proceedings and
          to discuss the way forward.


4. Proof of Claims
   4.1.  The claims submission period has closed.

   5.1.    The papers filed to date in the application and action against
           Air Liquide (Pty) Limited are available on the Company’s
           website.
   5.2.      Affected Persons will be advised of further updates.


6. Suggested Way Forward
  In terms of the Plan, the business rescue is proceeding in accordance
  with Proposal 3, i.e. the wind-down of the Company.

7. Conclusion
   It is the joint BRPs’ view that Proposal 3 will result in a better
   outcome for all affected persons than a liquidation.



                                                                          2
