Pursuant to the Agreement, the Lender has agreed to provide a convertible loan for €200,000 (approximately £170,581) (the "Loan"). The Loan, together with rolled up interest at 5%, is convertible into ordinary shares of the Company at a share price of 5 pence per share. The Loan will be available for the Company in two tranches.

The Loan will be non-transferable. The Loan will be repayable by 19 January 2022.

The loan is also guaranteed by a personal guarantee given by the Company's CFO Mr. David Ben David.

As security for the Loan, following the second drawdown, the Lender will be issued with 3,411,620 new ordinary shares in the Company ("New Ordinary Shares").  These New Ordinary Shares will be issued to the Lender [but held as security by the Company during the Term of the Loan, ] with the intention that the Company will buy back the shares within 24 months at 5 pence per share in full repayment of the Loan.

In the event the Lender elects to keep the New Ordinary Shares, the Company will grant the Lender one unlisted warrant for every share received, exercisable for a period of 24 months from the date of the election, at a price of 10 pence per warrant.

The Loan Agreement contains a provision that in the event that the Lender sells any of the New Ordinary Shares issued to the Lender, the Company's obligation to repurchase the shares from the Lender will be canceled.
