MEDIA SPECULATION LINKING THUNGELA TO POTENTIAL RENEWABLES
ACQUISITION IS MISLEADING

Thungela has noted with concern an article published on Bloomberg earlier today
(and subsequently syndicated to other media outlets) titled “Top Coal Miners
Consider Bids for South African Renewables Firm”. The original article purports that
Thungela is considering a bid for Actis LLP’s BTE Renewables. This assertion is
factually incorrect and Thungela confirms categorically that it is not considering the
acquisition of any renewables business.

Furthermore, the assertion in the original Bloomberg article that Thungela declined to
comment on the matter is also incorrect as the Group did not receive the request to
comment prior to publication of the story. After publication of the story Thungela
reached out to Bloomberg to clarify the facts, and while Bloomberg has subsequently
updated the article, it has been syndicated to other news outlets, some of which are
carrying a misleading headline relating to the matter.

Consistent with Thungela’s strategy and communicated position since listing, we are
not focused on diversification into the renewable energy sector.

Thungela’s renewable energy plans are currently limited to the installation of a
137kW solar plant at the eMalahleni Water Reclamation Plant and studies for a 4MW
solar photovoltaic plant at our Zibulo Colliery. We are also undertaking a study to
evaluate the viability of a solar-powered energy solution for the Elders complex.
