Upsizing of Revolving Credit Facility to $230 million

Kenmare Resources plc (LSE:KMR, ISE:KMR), one of the leading global producers of titanium minerals and zircon, which operates the Moma Titanium Minerals Mine ("Moma" or the "Mine" or the "Moma Mine") in northern Mozambique, is pleased to announce a set of amendments to its Revolving Credit Facility ("RCF"). Among the changes made, the facility size has been increased from $200 million to $230 million for the next 12 months and covenants relating to net debt to EBITDA and interest coverage ratio have been waived for 2026 testing dates.

Statement from James McCullough, Chief Financial Officer:

"The $30 million upsizing of our RCF and the covenant amendments provide important additional financial flexibility for Kenmare as we navigate a period of market weakness, giving us the confidence to make selective investments in plant and machinery and further develop the markets for our products. We appreciate the continuing support we have received from our lender group, who have worked with the Company for many years and who recognise the quality, scale and future potential of the Moma Mine."

The additional $30 million of commitments have been provided by members of Kenmare's existing bank syndicate, which includes Absa Bank Limited ("Absa"), Nedbank Limited ("Nedbank"), FirstRand Bank Limited (acting through its Rand Merchant Bank division) ("RMB") and Standard Bank Group ("Standard Bank").

From 31 March 2027, the interest rate will vary in the range of SOFR plus 4.85%-5.70% per annum depending on the Net Debt to EBITDA ratio reported at each quarter end
• An additional interest rate top-up will apply to any drawings of the additional $30 million commitment as follows:
  • During 2026: 1.5% per annum; and
  • From 1 January 2027 to 30 June 2027: 3.0% per annum

  • Interest coverage ratio (previously set at >4.0x): disapplied for 2026 testing dates; >2.5x for 2027 testing dates; and >4.0x for 2028 testing dates onwards
  • Net debt to EBITDA Ratio (previously set at <2.0x): disapplied for 2026 testing dates; <3.5x for 2027 testing dates; and <2.5x for 2028 testing dates onwards
• The following new financial covenants are added for 2026 testing dates only:
  • Total realisable assets to total outstanding debt: >3.5x (2025 outcome: 5.4x)
  • Current assets to current liabilities: >1.5x (2025 outcome: 3.6x)
  • Cash net interest coverage: >1.0x (2025 outcome: 6.3x)
• The amended terms also include additional financial reporting to lenders and modifications to collateral arrangements
• The upsizing and amendments to the RCF are subject to the satisfaction of customary conditions precedent
  
  

Overview of original $200 million RCF

• Agreements for a $200 million RCF with a committed five-year term were signed in Q1 2024 by Absa, Nedbank, RMB and Standard Bank
• The RCF allows Kenmare to withdraw, repay, and re-borrow funds up to the $200 million limit
• The original interest rate was SOFR plus 4.85% per annum
• The original financial covenants were as follows: an interest cover ratio of >4.0 times; a net debt to EBITDA ratio of <2.0 times (reset for the 31 December 2025 reporting date to <3.0 times); and minimum liquidity of no less than $25 million; the liquidity covenant remains in place

Closing of the upsizing and amendments is expected to occur before the end of June 2026.
