US$300,000 loan facility and Company Update
Herencia Resources Plc (AIM: HER), the multi-commodity resources
company with a primary focus on developing its high-quality copper
and gold exploration projects in Chile, announces it has entered
into a US$300,000 senior secured loan facility with Australian
Special Opportunity Fund ("Lind Partners") and Oriental Darius Co.
Ltd ("Oriental") as well as providing an update on the Company's
progress.
As announced on Tuesday 30(th) July, WH Ireland Limited has
resigned as Nominated Adviser (Nomad) and Joint Broker to the
Company with immediate effect.
Ongoing Financial Support
The Company has received a financial loan facility from its two
major shareholders of US$300,000, reflecting their ongoing
financial support for over two years. Such financial assistance is
not unusual and has been the only capital support.
The facility will be provided to the Company by the Shareholders
by way of a secured convertible facility with a face value of
$360,000 ("Face Value"), the agreed amount to be repaid by the
Company over the 12-month term of the agreement. It is also
intended that the convertible security will have the same
conditions as announced on 5th April 2016. Herencia announces that
Lind Partners and Oriental may each exercise its right to
convert;
US$150,000 of convertible loan notes with a face value of
US$180,000 into shares at an exercise price of "The Next Placement
Price" ("Conversion"). Pursuant to the Conversion at a later date,
new ordinary shares of "The Next Placement Price" each ("Ordinary
Shares"), will be admitted to trading on AIM.
The company entered into this loan facility in order to
immediately settle a "Windup Order" from its former Nomad, WH
Ireland for GBP83,447.42, which was settled in full on 11 July
2019.
The delay in release of the RNS for the loan facility is due to
the company not been able to reach an agreement with our former
Nomad on the language of the RNS and the WH Ireland Limited
resignation.
