Yet again we have a complex financial agreement to analyse from a somewhat weak position because we have not been provided with the full facts. As I have posted previously, if the intention of the bod is to utilise the facility as bridging finance and make the monthly repayments I find this acceptable. This thought led me to wonder what our investors hope to achieve out of this. If they are quite happy to earn a return of approaching 20% and to receive the warrants as well,presumably they will be happy to see us take the entire $10m if we require it and I note that the third tranche is at their discretion. Or are they really hoping or have even been led to believe that the monthly repayments will not be met so that shares will be issued to them?
I see that our two investors,Cuart and Yan are no strangers to entering into loan agreements with energy companies ,with River Fort negotiating the deals which, presumably is why Medea approached them.
Last November they lent to UKOG and Solo Oil.The difference with UKOG is that the loan is convertible and they wasted little time in starting to convert. With Solo, 3 monthly instalment repayments were agreed with the first due about now .At least our loan is not convertible and we retain elements of control
