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 for US$50,000 (£40,000) (the "Agreement") with Gershon Joel Fraenkel, a Director of the Company, together with his wife Rebecca Leah Fraenkel ("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 of US$50,000 (the "Loan").

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 2021.

In the event that the Lender was to convert their loans into Ordinary shares in the Company, they could hold up to 800,000 Ordinary shares in the Company representing 0.46 per cent of the Company's issued share capital following such conversion.

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 £80,000 (double his investment).

Director Shareholding

Gershon Fraenkel is a Director of the Company and is currently interested in 60,000 ordinary shares (representing 0.03% of the current issued share capital).

 

Vered Toledo, CEO of Shefa Gems, said: "We are delighted to have the support of our valued Director which is a great sign of confidence not only in our Company but also in the potential value of the Company's stock. 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."
