Operations and Strategic developments
Sale down of 27% GRZ shares in ZCCM-IH
During the presentation of the 2015 Zambian National Budget, the Minister of Finance directed the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC)to ensure that all listed Companies on the Lusaka Stock Exchange LuSE complied with minimum LuSE minimum free (public )float requirement of 25% of the shares. In this regard the Minister of Finance announced that the Government of the Republic of Zambia (GRZ) would reduce its shareholding in ZCCM-IH from 87.5% to 60.3% via the sale of its shares proportionate to the required reduction.
Pursuant to the above, on 08 June 2015 GRZ sold 15,850,631 of its 43,811,861 Class B shares in ZCCM-IH to the National Pension Scheme Authority (NAPSA) of Zambia (As Tranche1 of the sale down). As a result of the sale, GRZ shareholding in ZCCM-IH reduced from 87.5% to 77.5%. Tranche2 of the sell down relates to the sale of the balance of 27,961,237 Class B shares and was launched on 30 July 2015. Tranche 2 involves a Preferential Secondary Market offer of the shares for which priority is to be given to Preferred Appilcants (Zambian Persons) in case of oversubsciption. The offer closed on 30November 2015.
Maamba Collieries Thermal Power Plant Project Attains Financial close On 28 July 2015 Maamba Collieries Limited’s fully integrated coal and power project reached Financial Closure. The project, which has already achieved about 80 percent completion, consists of the redevelopment of the existing coal mine and the construction of a 300 MW coal fired thermal power station and related infrastructure near the town of Maamba. The 300-megawatt coal-fired power project, fully integrated with captive coal mining, is estimated to cost about USD 830 million. The project is being funded on a debt equity ratio of 70:30. The long-term loans are being advanced by a consortium of lenders comprising large international commercial banks together with development financial

institutions on a limited recourse project finance basis. Development financial institutions include the Development Bank of Southern Africa and the Industrial Development Corporation of South Africa, while commercial banks include Bank of China, Industrial and Commercial Bank of China, Standard Chartered Bank and Barclays Africa Limited. This is the first private power project in the Sub-Saharan region to receive export credit agency insurance cover from China Export and Credit Insurance Corporation (Sinosure). This combination makes it a unique collaborative project in Africa, incorporating sponsors from Singapore and Zambia, principal contractors from China and funding by financial institutions across the globe. Given the shortage of, and necessity for electricity in Zambia, as well as the wider region, the project is to provide the much needed dependable and sustainable base load power, which is crucial for the country’s economic growth and energy security. The power plant has the required infrastructure to scale up in line with the growing demand up to 600MW. Maamba Collieries Limited signed a 20-year power purchase agreement to supply 100% of the power plant’s output to Zambia Electricity Supply Corporation. The project is scheduled for commissioning by mid-2016 where after Nava Bharat will be responsible for the operation & maintenance.
