This voluntary announcement is made by Yanzhou Coal Mining Company Limited (the “Company”).
Reference is made to the announcements of the Company dated 17 February 2016 and 1 April 2016 (the “Announcements”) in relation to the participation of Yancoal Australia Limited (“Yancoal Australia”), a subsidiary of the Company, in a debt financing transaction and its financial close.

Following the Financial Close of Yancoal Australia’s debt financing transaction via the issue of the Bonds by its subsidiary Watagan Mining Company Pty Ltd (i.e. the Bonds Issuer), to Industrial Bank Co. Ltd, BOCI Asia Financial Products Limited (“BOCI”) and United NSW Energy Limited, Yancoal Australia has issued Bonds to the value of US$775 million to date.
As part of the arrangement for the subscription and issue of the Bonds (as disclosed in the announcement of the Company dated 1 April 2016), BOCI was to subscribe for the remaining US$175 million (the “Remaining Amount”) of BOCI’s total proposed subscription of US$375 million by 30 September 2016.
