Curragh Mine - New Coal Supply Deed, ACSA and Binding Terms Sheet

It is proposed that, following the Permitted Reorganisation, Coronado Global Resources Inc.

1. the Group Guarantee will terminate, and Coronado Group LLC will cease to have any liability to Stanwell under the Group Guarantee, on the later of the date on which the Permitted Reorganisation has completed and the date on which the Listing has occurred, provided that on the later of those dates:

‘A Change of Control of Coronado will be deemed to be an assignment of this deed for the purpose of this clause 10 and the person that acquires Control will be deemed to be the ‘‘proposed assignee·: provided that this clause 10.4 will not apply if the Change of Control of Coronado occurs as a result of the purchase of shares or other securities in Coronado Holdings which are of a class that are listed on the Australian Securities Exchange or another recognised stock exchange.’

‘A Change of Control of Wesfarmers will be deemed to be an assignment of this deed for the purpose of this Clause 19 and the person that acquires Control will be deemed to be the “proposed assignee”, provided that this Clause 19.5 will not apply if the Change of Control of Wesfarmers occurs as a result of the purchase of shares or other securities in Coronado Holdings which are of a class that are listed on the Australian Securities Exchange or another recognised stock exchange.’
