Extracts from Statement of Financial Position

▪ Net cash on hand is R756m

▪ The group on 1 July 2020 entered into a term loan agreement with its Lenders on standard terms and conditions applicable to this type of funding terminating 28 February 2022.

▪ On 25 May 2021 agreement was reached with the lenders to extend the current capital repayment profile of the loan.

▪ The capital portion of the loan repayments to commence in July 2021 with the residual loan balance at 28 Feb 2022 of ±R420m. The resolution of the Kusile power projects’ claims taking longer than anticipated.

▪ The purpose of the Restructuring Plan is to put in place an optimal capital structure and access to liquidity to position the Group for long term growth in this uncertain environment.

▪ Lenders have agreed to provide continued guarantee support for current and future projects being undertaken by the group.

▪ Implementation of the Restructuring Plan to be concluded by February 2022.

▪ To the extent required, shareholder approval will be sought.

▪ Cost of funding: 5.4% above prime including arranging and facility fees.

▪ The funding provided by the Lenders has assisted in relieving the group’s liquidity pressures even though current liabilities exceed current assets at 28 February 2021.

▪ In addition thereto, uncertainties surrounding the COVID-19 pandemic and contingent liabilities as noted in note 25 of the group’s Consolidated Annual Financial Statements for the year ended 29 February 2020, continue to indicate that a material uncertainty exists that may cast doubt on the group’s ability to continue as a going concern in the short term.

▪ However, having converted the short-term funding agreement with the Lenders to a term loan and on the basis of successfully implementing the Restructuring Plan, the directors consider it appropriate that the group’s results for the year be prepared on the going-concern basis.
