Trans Asia Debt Facility Extended

Manuka is pleased to advise that documentation has been executed finalising an extension to its existing debt facility with TransAsia Private Capital Limited (‘TransAsia’). The maturity date of this facility has been extended by 12 months to 30 Sept 2023 on existing terms and coupon.

Other key features of the revised facility include:

  • No Arrangement fees or other upfront payments of any kind;

  • A single bullet payment due Sept 30, 2023;

  • No early repayment penalties;

  • No hedging requirement; and

  • The issue of 5m options expiring in October 2024 with a strike price based on a VWAP formula.

  • Manuka is incentivised to make principal repayments over the next 12 months, and if not achieved will issue up to an additional 12m options, again with a strike price based on a VWAP formula (the amount to be issued reduces as principal payments are made).

Manuka’s Executive Chairman, Dennis Karp, commented : “ We continue to greatly appreciate the ongoing support provided by TransAsia. It has always been an outstanding financing partner for Manuka and it continues to strongly back our growth strategy and recent acquisition.”

This announcement has been approved for release by the Chairman of Manuka Resources Limited.
