The terms of the Incremental Facility are substantially similar to those of the Existing Facility, including as regards margin, commitment fee and termination date.
The Incremental Facility Notice stipulates that drawdowns under the Incremental Facility are subject to the Company notifying the Agent under the SRCF Agreement that the group has successfully raised capital (whether in the form of equity and/or debt) of at least $400 million by December 31, 2022, and if this has not occurred by December 31, 2022, the Incremental Facility will be cancelled.
The foregoing description of the Incremental Facility is qualified in its entirety by the terms of such agreement, which is filed hereto as Exhibit 4.1 and incorporated herein by reference.
