    • Early Repayment – Eden US has the right to repay all of the Principal Sum at any time without penalty.

    • Sale of Augusta Property – Eden US has the right to discharge the Augusta, Georgia property from the security in the event of the Augusta property being sold subject to the greater of 55% of the net sale proceeds or US$2,500,000 being paid to the Lender in partial repayment of the Principal Sum

Eden’s largest shareholder, Tasman Resources Ltd (via its 100% owned subsidiary Noble Energy Ltd), has advanced to Eden $2,300,000 (“Tasman Loan”), to enable Eden US to (amongst other things) reduce the Principal Sum by the amount, and to pay the renewal fee and interest reserve replenishment, referred to above (“iBorrow Payments”), in satisfaction of the extension terms of the Current Loan. The material terms of the Tasman Loan, which is unsecured and repayable on demand are:

  • Principal sum - A$2,300,000

  • Interest Rate – 9.97% per annum (reference rate of National Australia Bank’s Business Loan rate as at 17 July 2023), with interest payable in full at the time of repayment of the Principal Sum

  • Use of Funds – to fund the iBorrow Payments with any surplus being used for general working capital.

Unless repaid earlier, it is anticipated that the Tasman Loan will be repaid, in full or in part, from the proceeds of the settlement of the sale of Eden US’s Augusta, Georgia property (which is currently listed for sale).
