Holding Plc
("RC365"
or the "Company")
Issue of
Convertible Loan Note
RC365 Holding Plc ("RC365"), a company focusing on payment
gateway solutions and IT support, is pleased to
announce that it has entered into an unsecured Convertible Loan
Note ("CLN") with Mill End
Capital Limited (the "Lender") for up to £4 million. The net
proceeds of the unsecured loan will be used for the continuing
development of the Company's existing operations with particular
focus on expanding operations in Malaysia, Japan and the
UK.
The First Tranche of the CLN
comprises £600,000, the Second Tranche of the CLN comprises a
further £1.4 million, which can be drawn at RC365's election and
subject to shareholder approval by 30 April 2024, and any Further
Tranche shall be at the written request of RC365 and discretion of
the Lender, provided that the aggregate amount issued pursuant to
this CLN shall not exceed £4 million.
The resulting number of Ordinary
Shares to be issued shall be calculated at a price per Ordinary
Share ("Conversion Price")
equal to 80% of the lowest closing volume-weighted average price
("VWAP") of an Ordinary
Share over five trading days ending prior to the date of service of
the Conversion Notice.
Other key terms of the
CLN:
·
The CLN shall not bear interest and no interest
shall be payable to the Noteholder in respect of them;
·
The Ordinary Shares arising on conversion of the
Notes shall be credited as fully paid and rank pari passu with
Ordinary Shares of the same class in issue on the date of their
issue and shall carry the right to receive all dividends and other
distributions declared after such date;
·
The Company may at any time on ten Business Days'
prior, and with written notice to the Noteholder, redeem all (but
not part) of the CLN then outstanding by paying to the Noteholder
in immediately available cleared funds an amount equal to 120% of

Company resolutions, to authorise the Directors to allot and issue
Ordinary Shares and to dis-apply statutory pre-emption provisions
so that the Directors are authorised to allot at least (in
aggregate) 30,000,000 Ordinary Shares (or the equivalent amount of
nominal capital in the event of a share capital reorganisation of
any kind) for cash other than on a pre-emption basis.
·
The Company will maintain sufficient share capital
and shareholder authority to permit the directors of the Company to
issue all Ordinary Shares arising pursuant to the terms of this
CLN. Furthermore, if and to the extent at any time the Company has
insufficient headroom to issue all Ordinary Shares arising pursuant
to the terms of this CLN without the publication of a prospectus
approved by the FCA, the Company shall promptly prepare and have
approved by the FCA a duly-prepared prospectus relating to the
issue and Admission of such Ordinary Shares.
