This figure is subject to modification during the finalisation of the detailed contracts.

- SEPCO has agreed to consider taking an equity stake of 10 percent in EPL, which is to be formed in Pakistan by Oracle, after due diligence has been completed.
- A comprehensive EPC Term Sheet for the coal mine and power plant is expected to be agreed between Oracle and SEPCO by year-end 2014 in preparation for the final investment decision, and for groundwork to commence in mining and power plant development in 2015.
- Oracle has appointed Turner & Townsend and Mott MacDonald (leading international project consultants and managers with expertise in China), as technical advisers for the coal mine and power plant respectively and to manage the process of entering into EPC term sheets and contracts with SEPCO. The EPC contracts will be developed to comply with Oracle's technical requirements, Power Purchase Agreement, Coal Sales Agreement and other agreements to be entered with Oracle's Pakistan subsidiaries, and Pakistan authorities.

Entering the EPC Framework Agreement with and receiving a financing proposal from one of China's largest State-Owned Enterprises in the energy sector is another step towards bringing the project to reality, Oracle said in its press release.

Liu Chuanming, Chairman of SEPCO, noted: “ We at SEPCO are confident of Oracle's endeavors to develop one of Pakistan's largest energy projects and are delighted to be Oracle's preferred EPC contractor and partner for the coal mine and power plant project.
