"Company")
UPDATE ON CONVERTIBLE
LOAN
As announced on 27 July 2023, the Company
entered into a syndicated unsecured convertible loan
agreement with Aleph Finance Ltd (the
"Lender") for up to US$3.25 million (the "Convertible
Loan").
The syndicated Convertible Loan is unsecured,
convertible at any time at the option of the individual lenders and
repayable on 24 July 2024. The amount payable is
US$3.82 million (principal
US$3.25 million and interest
US$0.57 million).
The Lender and the Company are discussing entry
into a new agreement (the "New Facility Agreement") and have today
signed a non-binding term sheet for that proposed New Facility
Agreement between the Lender and the Company. The New Facility
Agreement would refinance the Convertible
Loan.
Together with the signing of the term sheet,
the Company has requested and the Lender has consented and agreed
to repayment being delayed, provided that the New Facility
Agreement is entered into by the Borrower on or before 13 September
2024.
In the coming weeks, the Company will convene a
general meeting to ask shareholders to vote on the New Facility
Agreement (the "General
Meeting"). Therefore, the
Company is deferring its Annual General Meeting from 29 July 2024
to a later date, when it will hold both the Annual General Meeting
and the General Meeting on the same day.
There can be no certainty that the Lender and
the Company will enter into the New Facility Agreement and it
remains subject to, inter
alia, customary due diligence, entry into definitive
transaction documentation and shareholder approval.
A further announcement will be made in due
course.
