On 15 January 2018 WHL released a trading statement and on 24 January 2018 followed it
up with a further trading statement on the Stock Exchange News Service ("SENS") ("January
Announcements"), advising shareholders of the impact on its earnings per share ("EPS")
arising from the A$712.5 million impairment charge (‘impairment’) recognised in the 26-week
period ended 24 December 2017.

In accordance with the JSE Listings Requirements and as a result of the impairment disclosed
in the January Announcements, shareholders are advised that EPS for the 52-week period
ending 24 June 2018 is expected to be more than 20% (more than 113.3 cents) lower than 
the reported EPS for the 52-week period ended 25 June 2017 of 566.7 cents.

A further trading statement will be issued during July 2018 providing specific guidance.

WHL's year-end results for the current year are scheduled to be announced on SENS on or
about 23 August 2018.
