Update - XEPT Completion

As previously reported Completion of the XEPT transaction*1 was originally scheduled to occur by 31 December 2016 if all conditions precedent were satisfied by that date, and the parties agreed an extension for Completion until 31 March 2017.

AnaeCo completed all matters required of it under the relevant agreements within the original scheduled timeframe. However, not all conditions precedent have been satisfied within the extended period and accordingly XEPT as Buyer and Monadelphous Group Limited as Seller are negotiating a further extension to the scheduled completion date. AnaeCo understands the delay relates to Chinese regulatory requirements for outbound investment and foreign exchange controls.

Whilst the Tripartite Deed of Sale and Cooperation remains current AnaeCo's funding requirements will be met through the Loan Agreement with Monadelphous Group Limited, as necessary.

*1 "XEPT transaction" means the purchase by Xiaoqing Environmental Protection Technology Co Ltd (XEPT) of the major portion of a loan owed by AnaeCo to Monadelphous Group Limited and the conversion of that loan, and the residual loan owed to Monadelphous, into equity, as is more fully described in the Notice of General Meeting of AnaeCo shareholders dated 15 September 2016. The transaction agreement is the Tripartite Deed of Sale and Cooperation dated 4 August 2016.
