ASX Announcement 24 December 2020
BASS RECEIVES NOTEHOLDER APPROVAL TO AMEND CONVERTIBLE NOTE TERMS
As announced on 22 December 2020, Bass Metals Ltd (‘Bass’ or ‘the Company’) sought approval from holders of the Company’s issued Convertible Notes (‘Noteholders’) to amend the Terms of Issue of the Convertible Notes (‘Proposed Amendments’) by way of a special resolution of Noteholders (‘the Special Resolution’).
Bass is pleased to announce it has received the requisite approval of more than 75% of Noteholders to the Proposed Amendments.
The Company and the Note Trustee will now enter into a Deed of Amendment to the Convertible Redeemable Note Trust Deed to give effect to the Proposed Amendments, subject to obtaining any other regulatory or shareholder approvals which may be required. If a shareholder meeting is required for the purposes of the ASX listing rules or any other purpose, it is anticipated that it will be convened in February 2021.
The Proposed Amendments include the following:
-
Maturity Date: extended by approximately 2 years to 30 June 2023.
-
Interest Rate: to be reduced from 15% per annum to 12% per annum from 31 March 2021.
-
Interest Payments: amended to be paid at Bass’ election in ordinary shares issued at a 30 day VWAP of trading in the Company’s ordinary shares, rather than Convertible Notes at face value.
-
Conversion Terms: amended to be convertible into 1.6 ordinary shares per Convertible Note converted (an effective conversion price of $0.005) at any time at the Noteholder’s election.
The Company will provide a further update to shareholders in respect of the progress of the Proposed Amendments in due course.
PETER WRIGHT - EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR BASS METALS LTD
“We are pleased to have received the requisite noteholder approval and overwhelming support for the proposed amendments to the existing terms of the convertible notes.
The impact of COVID 19 left Bass with little choice but to maintain the Madagascar based production operations of the Company on care and maintenance. Bass has however, as previously announced, continued to drill the Mahela–Loharano extension that has delivered impressive results to date. The Company has also continued with studies for the expansion of production capacity identifying several areas of material improvement for Stage 2 including an option to access grid power. Bass has also recommenced the process of seeking strategic investment for the Graphmada project, as well as commenced discussions in relation to offtake agreements with current customers for future production.
Bass is now in a position where it can continue its progression without the need to refinance this liability in the short-term. The Company has a production facility that has an unblemished sales record and has produced concentrates to specification in all concentrate classifications. With construction, commissioning, production and sales experience Bass is well placed to deliver a compelling study for significantly expanded production.”
This announcement has been approved by the Company’s Disclosure Committee for release.
