UPDATE ON CONVERTIBLE
LOAN
As announced on 4 September 2024, the Company
and Aleph Finance Ltd (the "Lender") signed
a new agreement (the "New Facility Agreement") that would refinance
the Company's syndicated unsecured convertible loan agreement with
the Lender for up to US$3.25 million (the "Existing
Convertible Loan") and, as announced on 26 September
2024, the Company and the Lender agreed to amend the terms of the
New Facility Agreement (the "Amended
Facility Agreement").
The Existing Convertible Loan is unsecured,
convertible at any time at the option of the individual lenders and
repayable on 24 July 2024, but the Company requested and the Lender
consented and agreed to repayment now being delayed until 1
November 2024. The amount payable is US$3.82 million
(principal US$3.25 million and
interest US$0.57 million).
The Lender has confirmed that it has been
funded by its sub-participants and, on or before
1 November 2024, will deliver a funding statement
covering approximately US$4.5 million, which will be used to repay
the Existing Convertible Loan. The remaining balance under
the Amended Facility Agreement
of approximately US$2.0 million will be available to the
Company when the Lender confirms that this amount has been funded
by its sub-participants and delivers a further funding statement
covering this additional amount. The Company intends to draw this
amount when it becomes available and to apply the proceeds towards
capital expenditure in Morocco and general corporate creditors. The
Loan will be available for drawdown within six months of the
satisfaction or waiver of the conditions precedent under the
Amended Facility Agreement.
