The Company has previously announced the bond financing structure for the financing of Uley 2 by way of the issue of corporate bonds on the Luxembourg Stock Exchange (https://www.luxse. com/about-us). The Company has finalised the legal structure for the issuance and, importantly, the key environmental targets that ensure that the Company’s issuance will qualify as Sustainably Linked Bonds (SLBs). The environmental targets relate to the sustainable supply and management of infrastructure, including water and power and will be incorporated in the SLB issuance documentation.
The Company is also pleased to announce that it has executed a non-binding insurance proposal with a major global insurer. This will form the basis of negotiations to conclude the final terms of the package of insurance policies for Uley 2. This package will include construction (and commissioning), liability and trade credit. Further announcements will be made following formal presentations to be made by the Company in Sydney and London during the week beginning 13 March 2023.
