Anglo American Reportedly Sets Up for AUD 7.5 Billion Coal Exit Anglo American plc (LSE:AAL) is expected to appoint an investment bank any day for a sale of its $5 billion (AUD 7.5 billion) portfolio of Australian coalmining assets, according to sources in the market. The sale, which comes after an announced company break-up while it has been fending off advances from BHP, will involve big dollars for what are some of the best metallurgical coal mines in the world. That may limit the field somewhat. One of the parties most strongly positioned for the portfolio is BHP itself, but perhaps it does not want to be seen to be reinforcing Anglo American's break-up strategy that enhances Anglo's value. But sources say BHP will not be in contention for the mines. If the break-up of Anglo American does not go well, it's always been considered a possibility that BHP comes back a second time with an "all of company" bid for Anglo American after several months. The bet by some is that the coal auction attracts non-conforming offers. China-backed Yancoal Australia Ltd. (ASX:YAL) will probably bid for Anglo American's Capcoal and Dawson assets, while Whitehaven Coal Limited (ASX:WHC), Coronado Global Resources Inc. (ASX:CRN) and Stanmore Resources Limited could bid for the other more attractive mines, Moranbah North and Grosvenor. Other assets that form part of the Queensland portfolio are the Aquila project, an interest in Jellinbah and the potential Moranbah South project, producing about 16 million tonnes a year. Glencore would also be large enough to buy the mines, but the Swiss trader is yet to complete its acquisition of Teck Resources, so could be distracted with that. Other than that, it's hard to see what other groups would be well placed to buy the entire portfolio, with Whitehaven Coal busy digesting the coal mines it has only just bought from BHP. There's been a view that perhaps the reason why BHP sold its Daunia and Blackwater coal mines in the first place was to make way for the Anglo American assets it would inherit as part of its planned buyout, clearing any challenges it may face owning both from the Australian Competition & Consumer Commission. In terms of selecting an investment bank, Anglo American has used Goldman Sachs and Morgan Stanley as its defence advisers so both could be well-placed. New Risk • May 20
New major risk - Revenue and earnings growth Earnings are forecast to decline by an average of 3.0% per year for the foreseeable future. This is considered a major risk. Ultimately, shareholders want to see a good return on their investment and that generally comes from sharing in the company's profits. If profits are expected to decline, then in most cases the share price will decline over time as well. In addition, if the company pays dividends it will also likely need to reduce or cut them, striking a dual blow to total shareholder returns. Currently, the following risks have been identified for the company: Major Risks Earnings are forecast to decline by an average of 3.0% per year for the foreseeable future.

Deal Close on Whitehaven's Blackwater Mine Sell Down The $7bn listed coal miner Whitehaven Coal Limited (ASX:WHC) is believed to be on the cusp of a deal to sell down part of its Blackwater coal mine, which it purchased as part of a wider $6.4bn acquisition from BHP. The understanding is that two parties - one from Japan and one from India - may be about to surface as buyers of a stake. While the identities are unknown, sources pointed to steel producer JSW Group of India or Nippon of Japan. Whitehaven has previously flagged a possible sell down after paying up for the Queensland assets last year in an auction, when it was advised by UBS. The suggestion at the time was that Blackwater accounted for most of the value of the $3.2 billion deal - as much as $2.5 billion. Whitehaven said that regulatory approvals for that deal were progressing and it was expected to complete on April 2. At its results last week, chief executive Paul Flynn said the deal to acquire BHP's Daunia and Blackwater mines would transform the company into a leading supplier of metallurgical coal for key export markets, where it would earn about 70% of its revenue from export coal. He said there had been strong interest in possible plans to sell a 20% stake in the Blackwater mine to global steelmakers as strategic joint venture partners. He said a high price was likely to be paid for partial ownership of the asset. "We expect to get a better price for the slice, and the interest that we're seeing is from people who are trying to make sure that they've got access to material for the next two or three decades," he said at the time. "This is a highly attractive acquisition, with considerable upside potential, which we expect will deliver meaningful returns to our shareholders for many years to come." As part of the transaction, Whitehaven paid $2.1 billion upfront, less a $100 million deposit. Declared Dividend • Feb 17

Whitehaven Reportedly Leads the Way in Auction for BHP Coal Mines BHP Group Limited (ASX:BHP) is asking the short-listed bidders for its two Queensland coal mines on offer to resubmit offers on September 25 after final bids landed last month. DataRoom revealed earlier that suitors had until the end of the month to lock in funding for a transaction and that Whitehaven was firming as the favourite to win the contest. Left in the contest are Whitehaven Coal Limited (ASX:WHC), bidding for both assets, Peabody Energy Corporation (NYSE:BTU) bidding for the Daunia mine, BUMA bidding for the Blackwater mine and Stanmore Resources Limited (ASX:SMR) bidding for Daunia. Sources say Stanmore Coal, which is sourcing debt to fund its bid with help from Grant Samuel, is believed to be the most conservative of the bidders when it comes to price. UBS has put a USD 2.5 billion value on Blackwater, which analysts say has a 50-year mine life, and a USD 800 million value on Daunia, which they believe has a 17-year mine life, with USD 1 billion of rehab liabilities on the former and USD 250 million on the latter. Some Whitehaven shareholders are warming to the prospect of the coal miner buying both Daunia and Blackwater in a deal that may top USD 3 billion. DataRoom first revealed Whitehaven was bidding for both mines on August 24, and the company confirmed this on Monday. It also reiterated comments made while reporting its results last month that it had suspended its share buyback as it considered growth opportunities. Reported Earnings • Aug 24

Revenue is expected to fall by 28% p.a. on average during the next 3 years compared to a 2.1% decline forecast for the Oil and Gas industry in Australia. Over the last 3 years on average, earnings per share has increased by 109% per year but the company’s share price has only increased by 96% per year, which means it is significantly lagging earnings growth.

Daunia Mine Reportedly Bid Possible Without Whitehaven Equity Raising Whitehaven Coal Limited (ASX:WHC) investors nervous about the miner embarking on an equity raising to buy BHP Group Limited (ASX:BHP)'s coalmining portfolio may be worrying unnecessarily. BHP is understood to be open to selling the two mines it has on offer separately. The understanding is that Whitehaven's interest is in the Daunia mine, which is close to its Winchester South mine. Whitehaven would probably be able to buy the asset without going cap in hand to investors in an equity raising. On a call to investors this week about its June quarter report, Whitehaven boss Paul Flynn said the company was able to source bank debt for metallurgical coal assets, but thermal coal was a challenge as its $1 billion revolving finance facility had not been renewed. Blackwater - the other asset for sale by BHP - produces thermal coal as well as metallurgical coal, while Daunia produces metallurgical coal. They are two of nine metallurgical coal mines in Queensland's Bowen Basin that are part of the joint venture, split 50-50 between BHP and Mitsubishi Development. Earlier in the contest, some were betting that Coronado would buy Blackwater, given its operations, including workforce, roads and ports are close by, while Peabody Energy was seen as the most likely acquirer of Daunia. Yet that was early on, before Yancoal turned up, looking like it would easily overcome other suitors, and some believe Coronado's interest is cooling. But if the assets can be sold separately, they may be within in the grasp of groups such as Coronado and Peabody, which would enjoy synergies. Macquarie Capital is working on the sale, while UBS is believed to be advising Whitehaven Coal and RBC Yancoal. Six parties are understood to have been shortlisted to buy the assets: Yancoal, Coronado, Stanmore Coal, BUMA, Peabody Energy and Whitehaven Coal. Recent Insider Transactions • Mar 11
