Clarification regarding PA Resources corporate reorganisation and financial position


Following the recent days significant movement in the PA Resources share price
and additional appreciation following statements made by the company published
by Swedish media yesterday, Nasdaq opted to halt the trading of the shares. As a
result the company wishes to repeat and clarify information previously
provided.

PA Resources AB is since 27 March 2015 in corporate reorganisation in accordance
with the Company Reorganisation Act (1996:764) as a result of a perceived
inability to make progress in its discussions with its creditors regarding long
-term financing of the company. The reorganisation is ongoing and its primary
short-term objective is to secure short-term funding through the remainder of
2015 to allow the board of directors the ability to assess the company’s long
term strategic options.

Negotiations regarding short-term funding are making progress and it is the
company’s expectation that they can be concluded in the coming weeks. Despite
this progress the outcome remains uncertain, however, and until an agreement is
reached significant risks remain, not least given that the company’s current
liquidity will last weeks rather than months. If short-term funding is not
secured in the coming weeks the company is therefore faced with potential
default.

As a consequence of the unresolved financing the 2014 Annual Report remains to
be published and as a result the board of directors has opted to delay the
publication of the report for the first quarter 2015. PA Resources intends to
publish its 2014 annual report and report for the first quarter 2015 no later
than 29 June 2015.

With reference to the press release published 28 May 2015 titled “PA Resources
continues strategic review process” the company is exploring its strategic
options with regards to finding new long-term funding for all or parts of the
business, a corporate transaction or the divestment of individual assets or
business units. Given that the pursuit of long-term funding has been ongoing
since the end of 2014 without success it is in the view of the company the least
likely scenario. It is also worth noting that with regards to potential asset
sales, the current market conditions would suggest that the values realised
could be well below the current book values.

The company will provide more information regarding the short-term funding as
soon as possible and expects to be in a position to update the market about the
status of the corporate reorganisation, and strategic review process early
September 2015.
