In RNS Announcement 0676H of 7 October 2024 we announced that Management had been instructed to enter into discussions with Bondholders regarding the possibility of restructuring the Bonds to change the payment schedule from a single €25 million bullet payment due on 31 March 2026 to five equal annual instalments of €5 million, to be made starting in 2025.

Based on the outcome of these discussions, it would now appear that the required qualified majority of Bondholders support the proposal to amend the terms of the Original Bond Instrument and approve the Amendment Agreement.

The final terms contained in the Amendment Agreement reflect the commitment of the Company to prioritise the payment of the Bonds. As a result thereof, the Amendment Agreement stipulates that following the original expiry date of 31 March 2026, the interest rate on the Bonds will increase to 15% and that during the term that the Bonds, or any part or segment thereof, remain outstanding the Company will make no distributions to shareholders and will not buy back Shares in the Company.

Today, Bondholders will receive the Circular containing the extraordinary resolutions to be proposed seeking the Bondholders approval of the Company's entry into the Amendment Agreement. In order to be passed successfully, the Extraordinary Resolutions require Bondholders together holding at least 60% of the principal amount of the Bonds in issue to vote in favour of the Extraordinary Resolutions on or before 31 January 2025. Subject to and following the successful passing of the Extraordinary Resolutions the Company will thereafter enter into the Amendment Agreement amending the terms of the Original Bond Instrument.

Chairman
