Not wrong at all, I only ever mentioned that the company needs to raise $50m, guess what that’s still the case.
The Group successfully concluded a US$ 27.8 million equity raise in June 2021 which prevented an event of default on its loan facilities. Under these facilities, the Group is required to raise a further US$ 50 million of equity by the end of 2022 or issue 87.6 million warrants entitling the Group's banks to acquire 132 million shares, or 11.5% of the share capital of the Company, for a total consideration of GBP £7.9 million, or 6.0 pence per share.
The Group is exploring the various contractual options available per the current bank terms to take place by the end of 2022. As disclosed, the two options available are the raise of US$ 50 million equity or the issuance of 87.6 million warrants giving potential rights to 132 million shares if exercised, which would result in cash proceeds to the Company of £ 7.9 million. As at 31 December 2021, neither of the two contractual scenarios had been ruled out. The Board however consider the issuance of warrants to have a slightly higher chance of occurrence.
