YANCOAL AUS (03668.HK): Raises Annual Cap under Glencore Coal Sales Framework Agreement to USD 750 Million

NewTimeSpace News: On 24 August 2026, Yancoal Australia Ltd (stock code: 03668) announced that the annual cap for transactions under the Glencore framework coal sales agreement for the year ending 31 December 2026 has been revised from USD 350 million to USD 750 million, with all other terms of the agreement unchanged.

The announcement attributed the increase mainly to market turmoil caused by the Middle East conflict, which expanded the likelihood of Glencore purchasing coal on the spot market, and increased spot sales by HVO Coal Sales Pty Ltd in the first half of 2026, requiring sufficient headroom under the cap to sustain transactions through to the end of 2026. Transaction volume under the agreement for the six months ended 30 June 2026 was approximately USD 215 million. As Glencore's wholly-owned subsidiary Anotero Pty Ltd holds a 49% interest in the Company's subsidiaries and a 49% participating interest in the Hunter Valley joint venture, Glencore is a connected person of the Company; the revised cap is only subject to reporting, announcement and annual review requirements, and is exempt from independent shareholders' approval.
