ASX Announcement

Spectur Executes Final Documentation on $1.5 Million Loan Facility

Friday 14 May 2021: Solar security, sensing and visual AI solutions and platforms company Spectur Limited (ASX: SP3) (Spectur or the Company) is pleased to announce that it today executed final documentation on the A$1.5 million loan facility (Facility) with EGP Capital (Lender) which was announced on 27 April 2021.

This loan facility will support short to medium term capital requirements required to deliver current and forecast revenue growth whilst maintaining adequate cash reserves.

Spectur Managing Director, Gerard Dyson, said:

"We are pleased to finalise this facility, which removes any need for Spectur to raise equity capital for working capital purposes whilst enhancing the Company's balance sheet flexibility in the medium term. Investments in the last 12 to 18 months are bearing fruit as planned, and we will continue to execute our organic growth strategy from a newly-strengthened platform.

"Spectur continues to review strategic opportunities, including acquisitions, which could require additional combinations of equity and/or debt. Whilst we have evaluated a number of potential targets over the past 18 months, the strategic, cultural and financial constraints that we have assigned to this process has meant that we continue to search. We will only request and deploy additional capital where we believe there is a strategic synergy, the cultural fit is right and the price delivers an appropriate risk-balanced return on equity for our shareholders."

Material Terms of the Facility

  • Draw down of up to A$1.5 million. Drawdowns at the election of the borrower, to be in minimum amounts of $100,000 and multiples of $50,000 with 30 days' notice.

  • No security Negative pledge obligation only;

  • Fixed interest rate of 7.0% p.a. on drawn amounts;

  • Line fee of 3% p.a. on total value of facility, effective 1 July 2021;

  • 30-month term, with flexibility to repay at an earlier date;

  • the Company will issue the following options to the Lender, subject to approval by shareholders at the Company's Annual General Meeting:

    • o 2.25 million unquoted options to acquire fully paid ordinary shares in Spectur, exercisable at $0.12, on or before 31 December 2023. Should shareholder approval not be obtained, the outstanding loan principal and any fees / interest outstanding will be repaid within 45 days.
  • Financial Covenants At all times, the amount of the drawn Facility is not to exceed the aggregate of:

  • o Spectur's cash at bank;

  • o 50% of Spectur's < 90 day debtors;

  • o 50% of the value of Spectur's rental fleet and finished stock; and

  • o 50% of the value of Spectur's other inventory.

Spectur is to report to the financier on these matters for each month by the 21st day of the following month.

  • Repayment election Subject to obtaining the necessary shareholder approvals, if required, Spectur may, at its election, elect to repay all or part (in multiples of $100,000) of outstanding amount under the Facility in the form of fully paid ordinary shares in lieu of cash. Each share will be issued at a 20% discount to the 30-day volume-weighted average price of Spectur shares traded on ASX leading up to the repayment date.
  • In addition, the transaction documents are subject to warranties, indemnities, fees, default fees and terms which the Company considers usual for a transaction of this size and scope.
