1. INTRODUCTION
   Shareholders are referred to the announcement dated 27 June 2016 and the circular to

   Company and its 50.5% held subsidiary, Sentula Coal Proprietary Limited (“Sentula Coal”), had
   entered into an agreement with Close-Up Mining Proprietary Limited (“Close-Up Mining”) in
   terms of which Unicorn would, inter alia, dispose of its shares in Sentula Coal in consideration
   for 40% of the shares in Close-Up Mining (“the Close-Up Merger”).

   In the unaudited consolidated financial results of Unicorn for the 6 months ended
   31 December 2016, issued on 31 March 2017, the Company advised that the Close-Up Merger
   had not been implemented due to various suspensive conditions not being fulfilled.

   Shareholders are hereby advised that Unicorn has subsequently entered into an agreement
   with Close-Up Mining in terms of which the parties agreed that Sentula Coal would sell, to
   Close-Up Mining, certain plant and equipment (“the Sentula Coal Plant and Equipment”) for an
   aggregate consideration of R25 080 000 (inclusive of Value Added Tax of R3 080 000) (“the
   Disposal”).

    (i)  an amount equal to R10 580 906.34 shall be settled through the reduction of an existing

         contracting arrangements entered into between the parties, prior thereto;
   (ii)  the balance of the purchase price of R14 499 093.66 shall be settled by Close-Up Mining
         to Sentula Coal through the payment of six equal monthly instalments deducted and
         retained by Sentula Coal from the services rendered by Close-Up under the sub-
         contracting arrangements.

   The proceeds will be utilised to further improve the liquidity position of the Group.

3. CONDITIONS PREECEDENT AND EFFECTIVE DATE
   The Disposal does not remain subject to any conditions precedent. The agreement provides
   that the effective date of the Disposal is 1 October 2017, notwithstanding the date of signature
   of the agreement.
