Note 8 Capital Commitments

 

On July 6, 2023, the Company entered into a Capital Commitment Agreement (“Agreement”) with GEM Global Yield LLC SCS (“GGY”), under the terms of which GGY has agreed to provide the Company with up to $30 million Australian dollars through a Security Subscription Facility (the “Facility”) over a 3-year term. The Agreement allows the Company to draw down funds during the 3-year term by giving GGY 15 Australian Securities Exchange (“ASX”) trading days’ notice to subscribe for CDIs, subject to share lending arrangement(s) being in place. The number of CDIs which GGY may subscribe for is capped at 700% of the average daily number of CDIs traded on the ASX during the 15 trading days prior to the relevant drawdown notice, subject to certain adjustments. The subscription price of the CDIs to be issued to GGY is the higher of (i) 90% of the average closing bid price of the Company’s CDIs over the 15 consecutive trading days after the Company gives the drawdown notice, subject to certain adjustments; or (ii) a fixed floor price nominated by the Company in the drawdown notice. The Company controls the timing of drawdowns under the Facility and has no minimum drawdown obligation. The issue of CDIs to GGY pursuant to any drawdown notice will also be conditional on the Company having sufficient placement capacity under ASX Listing Rules 7.1 or 7.1A (as applicable) or obtaining any requisite securityholder approval for the issue.

 

The Agreement meets the definition of a derivative in accordance with ASC 815 and is measured at fair value. Any changes in fair value of such instruments are recorded in other income (expense) on the unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations.
