ASX Announcement

Spectur Secures \$1.5 Million Loan Facility

Tuesday 27 April 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 has entered into binding terms for a A\$1.5 million loan facility (Facility) with its largest shareholder EGP Capital (Lender).

Debt Facility positions Spectur for growth

The Facility will support the Company's estimated capital requirements by providing the availability of working capital required for growth. With a strengthened cash position, the Company will continue to deliver on its sales initiatives and product investment while working to create further efficiencies within the business. The Facility is subject to execution of a Long Form Loan Facility Agreement with the Lender, anticipated to occur in May 2021.

Spectur Managing Director, Gerard Dyson, said:

"The current equity valuation being ascribed to Spectur is, in the view of The Board, not reflective of the renewed vitality of the businesses prospects post-COVID. The Board feel it is important to demonstrate to our investors that we are adequately funded to take the business to the point of selfsustaining commercialisation. Issuing further equity at the current depressed valuation was deemed by the Board to not be in the best interests of shareholders."

"We are pleased to partner with EGP Capital to ensure the necessary capital is in place to take the business to the point of self-funding. It is tremendous to work with a lender that not only is a shareholder, but who understands our business and is fully supportive of our growth initiatives and investments."

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;
  • 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.
