("Shefa Gems" or the "Company")
Convertible Loan Agreement
Shefa Gems (LSE: SEFA), a company focused on advanced exploration and development of multi-gemstone projects in Northern Israel, is pleased to announce that it has entered into a convertible loan agreement over the provision of US$350,000 (approximately £268,000) (the "Agreement") with a new shareholder of the Company ("the Lender") for working capital purposes and to fund the continued development of the Company.
Terms of the Loan
Pursuant to the Agreement, the Lender has agreed to provide a loan for US$350,000 (approximately £268,000) (the "Loan").
As was agreed with the lender the Loan, together with rolled up interest at 5%, is convertible into ordinary shares of the Company at a share price of 5 pence per share at any time until 31 March 2020. The Loan will be non-transferable. However, the lender can choose, at their sole discretion, to delay conversion to any time up until the end of March 2021.
Following conversion, the Company will grant the Lender one unlisted warrant for every share received on conversion, exercisable for a period of 24 months from the date of the conversion, at a price of 10 pence per warrant. In the event that the Company's share price during the period 24 months after conversion, does not at any time reach 10 pence per share, the Lender will receive additional shares after 24 months in such an amount as to make the total number of shares issued to the Lender have a value, based on the market price at that time, of £536,000.
Michael Rosenberg, OBE, Chairman of Shefa Gems, said: "We are pleased to receive the support of a new valued shareholder. The additional cash resources will support the Company's working capital purposes, in addition to supporting the development of our Project in the Kishon Mid-Reach area."
