(“IFL” or the “Company”)

Update on Business Rescue Process

As previously announced by the Company on 24 March 2016, the amended business rescue plan in respect of its South African subsidiary, International Ferro Metals (SA) (Pty) Limited ("IFMSA"), has been approved by creditors. Conditional sale agreements have been entered into with Samancor Chrome Limited (“Samancor”). The conditions are being fulfilled and are expected to be completed by the calendar year end. IFL confirms that the sale agreement to dispose of the equity of Sky Chrome Proprietary Limited has been signed. Completion of the equity sale is also subject to a number of conditions precedent being fulfilled, including that the Sale of Business Agreement and Sale of Mining Right Agreement (both part of the amended business rescue plan) have been implemented. Based on the latest distribution schedule it is now clear that there will be no distribution to shareholders at the conclusion of this process.

The Company is still not in a position to release its financial results for the year ended 30 June 2015 and interim accounts to 31 December 2015 and its shares remain suspended.

Further announcements in relation to the business rescue process will be released in due course.
