Appendix
Valuation by Wood Mackenzie (US$ in millions) Wood Mackenzie ( WM ) was retained by the Company to provide a valuation of the Company s operations The resulting estimate of value represents WM s view, based on publicly available information WM considered two scenarios, using multiple valuation methodologies including NPV analysis and comparable recent transactions Scenario #1: Based on status t quo in which h NRE No.1 and NRE Wongawilli are operated within Gujarat NRE Coke s vertically integrated model Scenario #2: Fair market value based on what a bidder, intending to enhance the quality of the coal for the seaborne market, might be expected to pay for the stand-alone assets (US$ in millions) Vertically Integrated Assets Fair Market Value Base Case $990 $938 The resulting valuation shows an initial range under base case assumptions (1) of US$938 to US$990 million (1) In developing the valuation, WM used as inputs its own assumptions for production rates, costs (opex & capex), mine life, discount rate, price and carbon tax impact (refer to next slide) 22
