Lyon (France), December 3, 2018 - AMOEBA (FR0011051598 - AMEBA), producer of a biological biocide capable of eliminating bacterial risk in water, plant protection and wound care applications, announces the signature of an amendment to the contract for the issuance of bonds convertible into shares with an incentive program (OCAPI) and a subordination agreement between Amoéba, Nice & Green SA and the European Investment Bank.
By press release dated 26 July 2018, Amoeba announced the signature of an agreement to issue bonds convertible into shares with an incentive plan (the "Agreement") for a total nominal amount of 6 million euros with Nice & Green SA (the "Investor"), a private company under Swiss law specialized in providing tailored financing solutions to listed companies.
In the context of this contract, the parties agreed to make the Investor's repayment subject in full to the loan agreement concluded between Amoeba and the European Investment Bank on 6 October 2017, for an amount of twenty million (20,000,000) euros (see press release dated 6 October 2017).
As part of discussions with the European Investment Bank regarding the organization of the terms of this subordination, it was agreed between Amoeba and the Investor to amend certain features of the Agreement described in the appendix to this press release. These amendments resulted in the signature, today, of an amendment No. 1 to the Contract.
In addition, the terms and conditions for subordinating the Investor's repayment to the European Investment Bank also led to the signature today of a subordination agreement between Amoeba, the Investor and the European Investment Bank.
We remind you that the effective implementation of the financing will be subject to the approval of Amoeba's shareholders at an ordinary and extraordinary general meeting to be held on January 14, 2019 (or any other date set by the Board of Directors), initially convened for October 10, 2018 (cf. press releases of 26 July 2018 and 21 September 2018 and notice of postponement published in the Bulletin des Annonces Légales Obligatoires (BALO) No. 117 of 28 September 2018), with a view in particular to delegating to the Board of Directors the power to decide on the issuance of bonds convertible into shares with cancellation of the shareholders' preferential subscription rights in favor of Nice & Green S.A.
We also remind you that the bonds issuance by Amoéba and their corresponding subscription by the Investor are subject to the fulfilment of certain conditions precedent (see press release dated 26 July 2018).
This operation should enable the company to finance its development until June 2020. It will result in the preparation of a prospectus to be submitted to the AMF for approval.
