Notes:
1. 5 million convertible notes were issued by Sundance Resources Ltd ("Company") on 6 February
2013 to Hanlong (Africa) Mining Investment Ltd ("Hanlong") at an issue price of $1.00 per note. The notes may be converted into underlying shares utilising a conversion price of the average daily volume weighted average price of Sundance shares traded on the ASX over the five trading days preceding the date of conversion. On 12 December 2014, Sundance advised that the Maturity Date for the Hanlong convertible notes had been extended from 31 December 2014 to 31
December 2015, and from 1 January 2015, Sundance will pay interest to Hanlong at the rate of
10% per annum on a quarterly basis on the outstanding convertible notes. Conversion may occur at any time until 31 December 2015 at the election of either Sundance or Hanlong. If the notes have not been converted they will be redeemed on 31 December 2015 at $1.00 per note, $5 million in total.
2. The Company issued a convertible note with a face value of $20 million ("Noble Note") and 200 million free attaching options ("Noble Options") to Noble Resources International Pte Ltd, and
$20 million through the issue of 20,000 convertible notes each with a face value of $100 ("Consortium Notes") and 260 million free attaching options ("Consortium Options") to an investor consortium made up of investment vehicles managed by Blackstone Alternative Solutions, L.L.C., the D. E. Shaw Group and Senrigan Capital ("Investor Consortium"). The Noble Note and Consortium Notes (together with 60 million free attaching Consortium Options with an exercise price of 10 cents) were issued on 4 November 2013 raising $40 million. 200 million free attaching Noble Options with an exercise price of 12 cents and 140 million free attaching Consortium Options with an exercise price of 10 cents and 60 million free attaching Consortium Options with an exercise price of 12 cents were issued on 3 December 2013 following shareholder approval.
On 3 September 2014 the Company agreed, subject to ASX and any other regulatory and shareholder approvals, with the Investor Consortium to replace the existing $20 million convertible notes held by the Investor Consortium, which mature in November 2015, with new $22 million two-year convertible notes expiring in November 2016. In November 2014 the Company was granted a waiver by the ASX from Listing Rule 6.23.3 allowing the Company to proceed with the Refinancing Proposal with the Investor Consortium and to cancel the existing options held by the Investor Consortium and issue new options to them. Shareholder approval is still required for this to be completed.
3. On 23 September 2014 Sundance issued 400,000 convertible notes to Wafin Limited ("Wafin") with an issue price of $100 per convertible note for a total investment of $40 million, maturing 36 months from the date of issue (23 September 2017). The Wafin Note is convertible at a price of
10 cents per Sundance share. If not converted into Sundance shares, these notes are redeemable
at maturity for 130% of face value. Wafin received options over 260 million ordinary shares with an exercise price of 12 cents, which expire on the earlier of 60 months from issue, 20 business days after the project's Financial Close or a Change of Control Event. 50 million of these options not subject to Shareholder approval were issued on 23 September 2014, approval for the remaining 210 million options was received from shareholders at the Company's AGM held on
27 November 2014. For full details of the convertible notes issued to Wafin please refer to
Sundance's ASX release dated 3 September 2014.
