	# In terms of the agreement with ARM to acquire its 50% of Dwarsrivier, Assore has agreed to refund Assmang for Dwarsrivier’s capital expenditure and working capital requirements, effective from 1 July 2014. This amount will be decreased by the profits after taxation (increased for losses after taxation) recorded by Dwarsrivier until the necessary conditions precedent (CPs) are met in order for the transaction to be completed.     * The facility is primarily utilised for and on behalf of Assmang in which the group holds a 50% interest and which in turn has provided a back-to-back guarantee against any claims made by bankers in terms of this facility. The facility was unused at year-end.
