Regency Mines Plc (LON: RGM) the natural resource exploration and development company with interests in energy storage, coal, natural gas and battery metals, announces a refinancing of its existing loan facility, first announced on 6 June 2018 and further updated on 14 January 2019 and 15 April 2019.

Highlights:

o  Regular repayment holiday until January 2020

o  Warrants over 20,000,000 shares priced at 0.25p per share issued to lenders

o  Loan carries no conversion rights except in the case of default

The refinanced loan notes, totalling $1.254m including a 4.5% implementation fee which has been added to the outstanding principal, will be repaid over a period of five years, and will carry interest of 10% per annum and incur a 2% fee upon repayment. 

The Company has agreed to make an initial minimum payment of the lower of 10% or $65,000 by way of a fundraising or issuance of securities that the Company may undertake from time to time.  The Company has also committed to paying the Noteholders at least 10% of the proceeds of any placing of Shares or other capital raising transaction by way of securities. Regular payments will commence in 2020 and are to be paid on a quarterly basis until 2024.

The Board looks forward to announcing the results of the strategic review of business operations in the near term with a full update on its projects and investments."
