GWR Genesee and Wyoming Inc

Share Sale Agreement

On October 20, 2016, Genesee & Wyoming Inc., a Delaware corporation (“ G&W ”), GWI Acquisitions Pty Ltd, a newly-established, wholly-owned subsidiary of G&W (the “ Purchaser ”), Glencore Coal Pty Limited (the “ Seller ”), and Glencore Operations Australia Pty Limited (the “ Seller Guarantor ”), entered into a Share Sale Agreement (“ SSA ”) pursuant to which the Purchaser agreed to acquire 100% of the issued share capital of Glencore Rail (NSW) Pty Limited (“ GRail ”) for cash consideration of A$1.14 billion (US$866 million at current exchange rates) (the “ GRail Transaction ”). G&W has agreed to provide a guaranty in favor of the Seller of the Purchaser’s obligations under the SSA.

The GRail Transaction is expected to be consummated during the fourth quarter of 2016, contingent upon customary closing conditions, including the receipt of Australian Foreign Investment Review Board approval. The Seller or the Purchaser may terminate the SSA if the closing conditions are not satisfied on or prior to January 12, 2017 or, if the Purchaser is able to extend the commitment period under the Debt Commitment Letter (described below), no later than February 28, 2017. The SSA contains customary provisions, including without limitation, post-closing adjustments to the purchase price based on the working capital of GRail at closing; obligations on the Seller prior to closing to conduct the business of GRail in its ordinary and usual course in accordance with its usual business practices; certain representations and warranties from the Seller for the benefit of the Purchaser; and certain indemnities from, and rights to bring action against, the Seller for the benefit of the Purchaser for breach of such representations and warranties and certain tax matters, subject to customary limitations and caps.

In connection with the acquisition of GRail, G&W has obtained a commitment for equity financing from a Macquarie Infrastructure and Real Assets consortium (“ MIRA ”). Concurrently with the closing of the GRail Transaction, MIRA will contribute A$644 million (US$489 million at current exchange rates) in the form of cash and shareholder loans to G&W Australia Holdings LP, an existing partnership that is wholly-owned by G&W (the “ Partnership Transaction ” and together with the GRail Transaction, the “ Transactions ”). This partnership will be jointly-owned, 51.1% by G&W and 48.9% by MIRA (the “ Partners ”), following the closing of the Transactions (the “ Partnership ”) and will own G&W’s existing Australian business and GRail. Following the Transactions, G&W will consolidate 100% of the Partnership in its financial statements and will record a noncontrolling interest for MIRA’s 48.9% equity ownership. The Partnership will be governed by a management committee, which will contain representatives appointed by both MIRA and G&W and will be required to report to the general partners on a periodic basis. Certain matters will require approval by both Partners, in general these include: (i) hiring and firing of select executives of the Partnership; (ii) commitments relating to significant contracts or other matters; (iii) approval of the Partnership’s strategic plan, which is a long-term plan outlining the expectations of the partners for the business (including leverage, equity returns and capitalization); (iv) mergers or consolidations; (v) incurrence of material indebtedness; (vi) capital structure changes; (vii) changes to the distribution policy; and (viii) related party transactions. The Partners also have agreed to certain customary exit rights with respect to their interests in the Partnership.

The Amendment Agreement further amends certain covenants in the Credit Agreement to increase the size of the permitted incremental facilities thereunder to permit the incurrence of up to $575.0 million of incremental facilities or other indebtedness to backstop the repayments related to the Australian Refinancing and the financing of the Australian Reorganization.
