Following the receipt of a notice dated 12 March 2025 from each Existing Bondholder, the Existing Bonds Maturity Date is 22 April 2025, being the 15th business day after the date on which the Company's audited financial statements for 2024 are issued.[3]
Under the Existing Bonds T&Cs, the Company is required to redeem the Remaining Principal Amount on a date which is within 15 business days after the date on which the Company has received the Net Proceeds from the Rights Issue but in any event no later than the Existing Bonds Maturity Date.
Therefore, following the application of the Net Proceeds described in paragraph 2 above, the Company wishes to announce that as at 7 April 2025, it has fully redeemed the Remaining Principal Amount of the Existing Bonds (as reduced by the three tranches of Partial Redemption) prior to the Existing Bonds Maturity Date, and all of the Existing Bonds have been cancelled in accordance with the Existing Bonds T&Cs. Accordingly, there are no outstanding Existing Bonds.
