CS provided one loan in the principal amount of US$10.2 million to fund the working capital of the Company in 2014 and 2015 and this was fully drawn down in 2015.
Â
Hudson provided two loans in the principal amounts of US$6.5 million and US$4.0 million to fund the working capital of the Company in 2016 and 2017 respectively. The first Hudson loan was fully drawn down on 29 March 2017 and the first draw-down of US$0.8 million from the second Hudson loan was completed on 6 June 2017.
