Early Extension of debt facility
-
Diatreme arranges early extension of November 2021 maturing $1.5 million debt facility for further 12 months to November 2022
-
Early extension negotiated on favourable terms
Emerging silica and mineral sands miner Diatreme Resources Limited (ASX: DRX, or Company) announced today an agreement to further extend maturity date for an existing $1.5 million debt facility ( Debt Facility ).
The Convertible note facility with a debt component was first announced to ASX on 19 May 2015 and the debt component is currently due for repayment on 30 November 2021.
Key terms of the original facility comprised:
-
$3 million total facility, drawn in lots of $500,000;
-
Interest rate of 5.2% per annum payable by half yearly instalments in arrears;
-
Term of 36 months from commencement date;
-
50% ($1.5 million) to be converted to ordinary shares of Diatreme at $0.02 at maturity date;
-
50% ($1.5 million) to be repaid by Diatreme at maturity date.
( Note : the original convertible note facility was fully drawn by 2 May 2017 and relevant shares were issued after maturity date (in October 2018 pursuant to shareholder approval) and the debt component ($1.5 million) has had two extensions to the maturity dates.
Under the new 3[rd] agreement there is an extension to the loan facility for a further 12 months from the current maturity date (30 November 2021) to 30 November 2022, with the only major change being a small increase in the applicable interest rate.
