Conditional Amendment to the 2018 Convertible Debenture
On March 24, 2023, an agreement was reached between the Company and the creditor of the €2,000,000 private placement financing closed in November 2018, resulting in a conditional amendment to the loan agreement. As per the terms of this amendment, the loan will now mature on September 1, 2025, with an adjusted interest rate of 9% per annum, payable on a monthly basis. The conversion price has also been revised to C$0.50 per share. The Company has the option to convert the loan, subject to the condition that the volume weighted average price of the shares exceeds C$0.50 per share for a continuous period of 30 days.
The effectiveness of the aforementioned amendment is contingent upon the payment of certain outstanding amounts. Specifically, a payment of €165,000 is required to cover unpaid arrear interest, along with an additional payment of €12,233 representing interest accrued between November 8, 2021, and March 15, 2023, at an annual rate of 5.5%. Furthermore, an interest rate of 9% will apply to the €165,000 unpaid arrear interest from March 16, 2023, until the conditional payments are made.
As of the current reporting date, these conditional payments remain outstanding, and any necessary regulatory approvals have not yet been obtained. Consequently, the loan is still considered to be in default and will only be adjusted in accordance with the aforementioned amendment once the conditions have been fulfilled and approval has been obtained from the relevant regulatory bodies.
