The holder of the Debenture and SOL Global may mutually agree to accelerate the date of one or more advances.
The holder of the Debenture shall be entitled to a 2.5% set-up fee of $250,000, to be settled by the reduction of the amount payable under the initial advance. The Debenture will mature 24 months from the date of issue and shall be subject to a 10% interest rate, payable in cash at the time of each advance and at maturity.
The LOI is a binding commitment of the purchaser and the transaction is expected to close on or before January 30, 2025 (the “Closing Date”), subject to the entering into a definitive subscription agreement and Debenture, and certain customary conditions including, but not limited to, the receipt of all necessary regulatory and other approvals, and is subject to the policies of the Canadian Securities Exchange (the “CSE”).
