Pan African Resources Plc - Fulfilment of conditions precedent Uitkomst Colliery

London, June 26

FULFILMENT OF ALL CONDITIONS PRECEDENT TO THE SALE OF UITKOMST COLLIERY

Further to the announcement published on 5 April 2017, Pan African is pleased to announce that all conditions precedent to the disposal of 100% of the shares and loan accounts in Pan African Resources Coal Holdings Proprietary Limited (“PAR Coal”) (“the Transaction”) have now been fulfilled. This follows Uitkomst Colliery Proprietary Limited (“Uitkomst”) having entered into a supply of coal agreement on terms acceptable to Coal of Africa Limited (“CoAL”).

As a result, the effective date of the Transaction will be 30 June 2017 (“Effective Date”), when CoAL will take ownership, control and management of PAR CoAL and Uitkomst and Pan African will receive its consideration which will be settled as follows:

• R125 million in cash on the Effective Date.
• R125 million through the issue of 261,287,625 new ordinary shares in CoAL on the Effective Date.
• R25 million in deferred consideration (the “Deferred Consideration”). The Deferred Consideration may be paid by CoAL at any time prior to the second anniversary of the Effective Date. The Deferred Consideration will bear interest at the South African prime overdraft rate from the Effective Date. If the Deferred Consideration and any interest accrued thereon is not paid to Pan African by the second anniversary of the Effective Date, Pan African may elect to have the amount due to it settled through the issue of new CoAL ordinary shares at a price per share equal to the 30-day volume weighted average price of a CoAL ordinary share as traded on the exchange operated by the JSE prevailing on the last trading day immediately prior to the date that such election is made.
