UK Oil & Gas Investments PLC (London AIM: UKOG) is pleased to announce that it has today entered into a £10 million loan agreement ("Loan") with Cuart Investments PCC Ltd and YA II PN Ltd ("Investors"), an investment consortium arranged by Riverfort Global Capital Ltd. A first tranche of £7.5 million has been drawn down by the Company, with a second tranche of £2.5 million due to be drawn down on 31 December 2017. The first and second tranches are repayable on 13 November 2019 and 31 December 2019, respectively.
The Loan attracts 0% interest and may, at the sole discretion of the Investors, be converted into new ordinary shares in the Company. The conversion price is the lower of either a share price of 8 pence, or 90% of the Company's lowest daily volume weighted average price ("VWAP") during the five days prior to the conversion date. The Loan is convertible in tranches of not less than £250,000, with a limit of £3 million per quarter, unless otherwise agreed by the Company.
The Loan includes a provision that, for as long as any portion of the Loan is outstanding, neither the Investors nor any of their affiliates shall hold any net short position with respect to the equity of UKOG.
UKOG can repay the principal amount of the Loan at any time for cash, provided that the 5-day VWAP of the Company's equity is less than 8 pence and a prepayment fee equal to 10 per cent of the principal amount of the Loan then outstanding is paid by the Company to the Investors.
