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$200,000 (approximately £156,250) (the "Agreement") with a shareholder of the Company ("the Lender") for working capital purposes and to fund the continued development of its Kishon Mid-Reach Project.

 

Terms of the Loan

 

Pursuant to the Agreement, the Lender has agreed to provide a loan for US$200,000 (approximately £156,250) (the "Loan"). The Loan, together with rolled up interest at 5%, is convertible into ordinary shares of the Company at a share price of £0.05 per share at any time until 31 March 2021.  The Loan will be non-transferable.

 

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 £0.10 per warrant. In the event that the Company's share price during the period 24 months after conversion, does not at any time reach £0.10 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 £312,500. 

 

Michael Rosenberg and James Campbell who are independent Directors, having consulted with the Company's Financial Adviser, consider the terms of the Loan, to be fair and reasonable insofar as all of Shefa's shareholders are concerned.

 

As at the date of this announcement, the entire issued share capital of the Company comprises of 172,425,315 Ordinary shares with a nominal value of 0.1 NIS each.

 

Michael Rosenberg, OBE, Chairman of Shefa Gems, said: "We are very pleased to have secured further funding at the prevailing market price from our supportive shareholder. On behalf of the Board, I would like to thank Shefa's existing shareholders for their continued support at this crucial time as Shefa continues to advance its Kishon Mid-Reach Project."
