Extension of Convertible Loan Maturity Date

 

URU announces that the date until which Boothbay Absolute Return Strategies LP
("Boothbay") will not convert sums due to under the convertible loan note was
extended from 30 August 2023 to on or prior to 31 October 2023.

All other terms of the agreement remain the same as previously notified
including the 31 December 2023 date by which Boothbay has the right to convert
funds due under the loan note at £0.85 per new ordinary share of the Company
("Ordinary Shares") which is also the repayment date and long-stop date for
conversion of the convertible loan notes held by Boothbay (the "Maturity
Date").

 

Details regarding the convertible loan note was announced by the Company on 6
May 2020, and the maturity date for the note has been extended on a number of
occasions since this date by agreement of the parties. As at 31 August 2023
the total amount advanced by Boothbay Absolute Return Strategies LP to the
Company is US$500,000.

Unless repaid by the Company, amounts due to Boothbay under the convertible
loan note shall convert at or prior to the Maturity Date:

(i) at a price that is a 35 per cent. discount to the Volume Weighted Average
Price ("VWAP") per share in the 5 trading days prior to the noteholder serving
a conversion notice;

(ii) on completion of an equity fundraising by the Company, at a price that is
a 35 per cent. discount to the price per share paid by investors on such
equity fundraising;

(iii) on a share sale (meaning a sale of Ordinary Shares giving control of the
Company, whether for cash and/or by way of exchange for shares in another
company and/or for other consideration, and whether or not control of the
Company changes as a result of such transaction), a 35 per cent. discount to
the price per share paid on such a share sale; or

(iv) if there is no conversion notice served, equity fundraising or share sale
prior to the Maturity Date, at a 35 percent. discount to the VWAP per share in
the 5 trading days prior to the maturity date.

In the event that Boothbay is issued with any new Ordinary Shares pursuant to
a conversion of the loan note, it will be issued with one warrant attaching to
each new Ordinary Share issued, with an exercise period of 18 months from the
date of grant and exercisable at £0.85 per new Ordinary Share.
