The Balance Sheet is being progressively de-leveraged
1) In Aug 2017 restricted cash accounts were closed. JARE waived interest totalling US$15m and this amount was applied as a US$15m principal repayment under the JARE facility
On 13th October 2017, Lynas made an early prepayment of US$15m to JARE
2) 1.875% Convertible Bonds each with a face value of US$1.00, due 30 September 2020 convertible at A$ 0.10 per share with FX of 0.75.
Since July 2017, US$118.5m of the Convertible Bond debt has been converted into equity
3) Warrants exercisable at $0.038 on or before 30 September 2018
4) Warrants exercisable at $0.05 on or before 30 September 2020

The Rare Earth industry has, at times, suffered reputational damage fromhistorical practices and legacy effects.
Tools like LCA assist to differentiate between producers; and drive continuous improvement in environmental practices.
Responsible care is becoming a standard in the chemical industry (Together For Sustainability in Europe).
When making technology decisions – which engage for decades – end users need to trust that their raw material supply and supplier is sustainable.
Life Cycle assessment provides end users with a tool to evaluate environmental impact.
Sustainability and safety
The ability to demonstrate sustainability of activity, including continuous improvement plan, is an essential selling attribute
Lynas’ safety and sustainability record:Five years of safe operations, with clear data showing no increase in background radiation, at the plant or at independently measured sites.
Industry-leading systems for water management at Mt Weld, and waste gas emissions and water management at LAMP.
Lost Time Injury Frequency Rate at June 30, 2017 was 2.2 per million hours worked.
Both Lynas sites successfully obtained recertification for ISO 9001 (Quality Management), ISO 14001 (Environmental Management) and OHSAS 18001 (Occupational Health & Safety).
Engaged with local communities. In Kuantan, local employees make up 97% of the workforce. 15% of Lynas staff are female. 80% of inputs are sourced locally.F

Rare Earth market growth is accelerating driven by magnets (NdPr)§ Key uses for magnetic materials:
§ Cleaner energy production: Electric and hybrid vehicles, Wind turbines§ Electronics§ Automation/robotic applications
§ The benefits of NdFeB magnets are well recognized and important; they are lighter and more energy efficient.
§ Alternative technologies exist. § Ferrite permanent magnet for small motors§ Asynchronous motors for cars§ Gear box with or without permanent magnets for wind turbines
§ Breakeven points stand at approximately US$100/kg of NdPr oxide depending on applications.
§ Key end use customers are seeking security of supply and relative price stability
The market needs sustainable supply.LYNAS can and will play a major role in supporting development and adoption of new technologies.
