2015 Key Economic DriversEconomic Drivers● Global Interest rates

● Economy Slowing ○ Softening of China Infrastructure spending○ Energy markets

● Depressed Commodities markets - 25% decline in 2015 ○ Drop in coal created a $1.2B non-cash impairment in 2015○ Coal was 85% of revenue in 2014 ○ Low oil price - pushes LNG down with it

Factors Affecting Commodity Values

• Global interest rates, market liquidity, U.S. Dollar value, capital flows, and trade balances.

• ECB and Japan have negative interest rates and we have seen mainly stagnant interest rates across the world.

• China reported a USD 60.6-billion trade surplus in February 2015 – compared with a USD 22.9-billion deficit a year earlier – as exports surged while imports dropped, which alone is a hugely responsible for the move in commodity prices and from a predictive standpoint.

Factors Affecting Commodity Values

• Inflation affects commodity values. Wall Street worried about inflation as Fed Chair Yellen cautious about raising interest rates, supporting speculation she wants the economy to pick up before tightening monetary policy.

• When spreads between long term and short term treasuries widen, good economic indicator for next 4 - 6 Qtrs. If the real federal funds rate low (or negative) like it is now, growth should pick up.

Current Yield Curve

• If the term premium tightens, the yield curve will flatten. The inverse is currently happening. Term premiums are presently widening as the slope of the treasury yield curve goes up. In addition, the fed funds rate is low. The fact that term premiums are widening and the fed funds rate is low indicate future economic growth.

The CurrentTreasury Yield Curve

Value of the U.S Dollar

• Commodities typically have an inverse relationship with the dollar - general depreciation of the dollar, will increase the dollar denominated commodity prices. If USD continues to rise against other commodities, prices will remain low or fall even further in the near future.

• However, an appreciating US Dollar and a higher supply would tend to mean-revert commodity prices to long-term equilibrium level, which in theory is the cost-of-production. Prices are based on what it costs to produce. Prices will go up slow and steady.

Demand Will Return

• In the long-run, decreases in demand in a competitive market will cause decreases in output and increases in demand in a competitive market.

• Therefore, we should see an increase in the value of oil & other commodities long term.

Metals and Mining• Our carbon steel business negatively affected by pullback in Asia, as it focuses on

Asian steel mills. • Current environment of Chinese carbon steel demand slowing down has led to a

75% decline in the price of the key ingredients of steel, which are iron ore and hard coking coal.

• These declines can’t help but negatively impact our steel business and all of our other businesses,

• However don’t own any production assets, asset-light strategy. Gives us advantage to competitors, as we can swiftly capitalize on opportunities as appear and it strengthens our balance sheet.

• Future demand in aluminum will be a source of future growth and increased cash flow.

Commodity Prices Turn Positive Q1 2016

● In Q1 ‘16 the energy sector moved higher in Q1 by 2.37%. Leader was gasoline futures, which moved 13.8% higher.

● Heating oil posted a 5.5% gain and Brent and WTI crude oil rose by around 4%-5% for Q1.

● Ethanol rose 2.6%, even though the price of corn registered a loss for the three-month period.

● The only big loser was natural gas, which closed the quarter at $1.959 per MMBtu, down 16.17%. That was after a recovery rally from lows at $1.6110, the lowest price since 1998.

● Energy and base metal prices moved higher as sectors, but the results were tepid at best.

● What is holding commodity prices back from recovering are mainly China and oil glut.

Investor Relations Strategy Recommendation

#1 Build Investor and Stakeholder Confidence

Communication on-time (or ahead of schedule), transparent, and clearly communicate our current financial situation

KEY STAKEHOLDERS ● Customers ● Key Investors ● Associates, JVs & Partners● Shareholders ● Fixed Income ● Employees

● We adjusted our business for the current commodities environment - asset light strategy & internal cost controls

● We are in the process of securing our new Credit Facility

● Commodity prices finally posted gains in the first quarter of 2016. The overall commodity sector consisting of 29 of the major commodities that trade on U.S and U.K. exchanges rallied by just 1.63% YTD

● Our forecast for the balance of 2016 is positive, weaker USD & improved commodity prices

● The China slowdown continues through 2016, but government mandates for higher quality infrastructure and raw materials are on the horizon

● Address Iceberg Research

● Most recent 10K showed a 1.2 billion dollar write down in commodity contracts. Write down

creates fear in investors. Noble must gain confidence back. Entering future/forward contracts will

mitigate future risk and provide known cash-flow to be used to finance future expansion, and

inform investors of liquidity going forward. We believe this will give investors peace of mind and

stabilize the stock price, as the company will have the cash to grow the company. These hedges will

provide investors provide some assurance that a future write down will be avoided. Additionally, a

hedge will lock in prices if the prices should happen to fall even more.

● Closing some oil and gas storage facilities that are close in proximately and consolidating them: The

last quarterly call we discussed how gas demand has been strong, however, the up scaling of volume

has resulted in heavy storage costs. Oil inventories are at record highs. The consolidating of storage

facilities create a savings in man hours, and storage costs. We can close facilities and either sell the

assets or move them to another location. The one time moving costs will be steep but over the

course of a few quarters we will absorb the cost and we will be left with a more nimble operation

that will be in a position to incur less storage costs in the future.
