Rail Link Funding Status
The rail link negotiations for a funding package of R750m (approx. A$75m at current
exchange rates) continue to progress. Current funding negotiations are being conducted
on a non-binding basis (with no guarantee of a binding arrangement being concluded)
and envisage the following structural considerations:
. Establishment of a special purpose vehicle (SPV) that will raise the required
funds, construct, own and operate the rail link in exchange for a commercially
agreed transport tariff arrangement;
. Resgen, through its partly owned subsidiary, Ledjadja Coal (Pty) Ltd (Ledjadja
Coal), will own a 49.9% interest in the SPV in lieu of the contribution of certain
assets and licences associated with the rail link; and
. Security arrangements associated with the rail link funding will be ring-fenced to
the SPV i.e. there will be no impact on the security arrangements pertaining to
the Project Funding Agreements.
Finalisation of a unconditional comprehensive Project Rail Link funding agreement is a
condition precedent attached to the Mine Funding Package and is regarded as being on
the critical path for the transaction to become effective and allow first drawdown of funds
for mine construction (Financial Close) - see further detail below.
Conditions Precedent (CP) to achieve Financial Close
A number of funding conditions require satisfaction, deferral or may be waived by the
Project Lenders before Financial Close. These conditions include those customary for
Lender’s to manage risk exposures in transactions of this nature and include both the
Shareholder approval and rail link funding referred to above.
In addition, the following CP’s are regarded as the key areas for focus by Management
as they have been identified as being on the critical path for achievement of Financial
Close:
. Completion of reports by Independent Technical and Environmental Advisors,
appointed by and for the benefit of the Project Lenders. These Reports will
include an assessment of the adequacy of the Company’s capital cost estimate
and confirm the integrity of the Company’s base case financial model used for
the purposes of negotiating the Mine Funding Package;
. Finalising the outstanding coal loading and transportation agreements between
Ledjadja Coal, the Rail Link SPV and Transnet;
. Pricing review by Sedgman of the CHPP and AWP contracts as these were
established more than twelve months ago;

. Conclusion of a back to back domestic coal supply agreement between Noble
and a third party to the satisfaction of the other Lenders;
. Conclusion of a mining equipment funding arrangement linked to the proposed
mining contract; and
. Conclusion of a Ramp-up Working Capital Facility to the satisfaction of the
Project Lenders.
Target date for Financial Close
The Shareholder Meeting called for the purposes of seeking approval of the Mine
Funding Package is now likely to occur in late March or early April 2020. This will result
in the need to amend the target date for Financial Close to on or before 30 April 2020.
The Company has commenced discussions with Noble Group in relation to the working
capital requirements for bridging the funding gap to the revised target for Financial
Close.
The Company will keep the market informed regarding further progress on project
funding in accordance with its continuous disclosure obligations.
