Trade Finance Loan Agreement
Eurasia Mining Plc ("Eurasia" or the "Company"), the platinum, iridium, rhodium, ruthenium, palladium ("PGM") and gold mining company, is pleased to announce that it has entered into a trade finance loan agreement with Sanderson Capital Partners Limited ("Sanderson") for up to £2.5 million (the "Trade Finance Loan" or the "Loan").
Highlights:
· As announced on the 28 August 2024, the purpose of the Trade Finance Loan is to provide the Company with working capital finance.
· To assist with the management of the Company's working capital position, each of the Company's Directors has agreed to defer payment of accrued fees and expenses from the previous 12 months, along with any future compensation due whilst any part of the Trade Finance Loan remains outstanding.
· Christian Schaffalitzky, the Company's Chairman, has pledged 94,619,517 of his ordinary shares in the Company as collateral for the Trade Finance Loan (the "Chairman's Pledge"). The shares will be kept in escrow by Eurasia's solicitors (OBH Partners, Dublin) whilst any part of the Trade Finance Loan remains outstanding. No other security has been provided in respect of the Trade Finance Loan.
· The Trade Finance Loan is interest free and is repayable by 29 August 2025, or by another date as the parties may agree.
· The Loan is convertible at Sanderson's election (save for during the first 90 days of the agreement, see below), at an average conversion price of 2.7p per share, a premium of 17% to the closing price of on 28 June 2024 (being the last trading day before the suspension of trading in the Company's shares).
· Sanderson has agreed that it will not elect to convert any of the Trade Finance Loan to shares in Eurasia during the first 90 days the Trade Finance Loan is in place.
· The Trade Finance Loan may be drawn down by the Company in five tranches, in each case at the option of the Company, subject to certain milestones being achieved (as described below).
· The initial two tranches totalling £1.0 million are linked to the Company's proposed restoration to trading on AIM, which was also announced today and will become effective at 7.30am on Monday 9 September 2024.
The principal terms of the Trade Finance Loan are as follows:
