Rockwell continued disclosure on filing of Audited Annual Financial Statements


August 15, 2018, Toronto, ON -- Rockwell Diamonds Inc. ("Rockwell" or the "Company") (NEX:
RDI.H; JSE: RDI) announced today that that there is no change to the status quo, following on to the
Company’s inability to file its audited Annual Financial Statements for the year ended February 28,
2018, and Management’s Discussion and Analysis relating to the Annual Financial Statements
(collectively, the “Required Filings”), which were due to be filed on or before the prescribed deadline
of June 30, 2018. Unaudited filings were however submitted by the Company in this regard.

The Company is still in discussion with a purchaser with the objective for the Company to dispose of
its investment in its Cayman Island subsidiary, N9C, whose main asset is the shares of Rockwell
RSA. This transaction is contingent on the successful acquisition by the same purchaser of all claims
in all three subsidiaries. The proceeds from such sale will accrue to the Company for the purposes of
settling with trade creditors of the Company and making an offer to shareholders to acquire their
shares in a going private transaction. The two debenture holders in the Company have indicated that
they will not seek repayment and will surrender their debentures. In this outcome, they have indicated
that they would accept the purchase of shareholders’ interest in priority to their claims, in order to
implement an orderly wind down of the Company’s affairs. A final transaction and related agreements,
if enacted, will be subject to court, regulatory and shareholder approval in Canada and South Africa.

Following approvals and completion of the share buy back from shareholders under such outcome,
the Company is expected to surrender its charter and thereby dissolve.

It is important to note that any other potential buyer of the assets of the three subsidiaries, that offers
on his own or in combination with other commercial actions by the liquidator, may therefore impact on
the sale of N9C to an investor and will therefore impact or frustrate the ability of the Company to wind
up its business in an orderly manner as outlined above.

The Company was able to prepare all required disclosures, including unaudited Annual Financial
