Loan facility further drawdown

On 8 January 2016 REACT, the renewable energy developer and operator focusing on the production of clean energy in the UK and Ireland, announced that it had secured a €750,000 loan facility (the "Facility") from EBIOSS Energy AD ("EBIOSS").

The terms of the Facility stated that the Company would use the proceeds solely to fund the development costs associated with the Company's identified biomass gasification projects in the UK.  However, as announced on 16 March 2016 the parties to the Facility agreed to amend the terms of the Facility such that the proceeds from the second tranche, amounting to, in aggregate, €250,000, to be drawn down by the Company could be used for the working capital needs of the Company as well as for project development costs, at the sole discretion of the Company.

Following the amendment to the Facility, the Company drew down €150,000 of the second tranche, which is being used for the working capital needs of the Company and the Company announces today that it has drawn down the remaining €100,000 of the second tranche, which will be used to fund project development costs.

Accordingly, a further €250,000 is available pursuant to the Facility, which can be used for project development costs, and the parties have agreed that all subsequent drawdowns will be made as and when required to minimise finance costs.
