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 28 October 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 28 October 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.

On 14 October 2024, the Company held a General Meeting and shareholders voted overwhelmingly in favour of the resolutions authorising the directors to issue shares if the Lender exercises the right to convert the outstanding Loan, including any accrued interest, in full or in part, into ordinary shares in the capital of the Company.
