Update on Family Office Financing
With respect to the US-led Family Office financing originally announced on August 18, 2020, with subsequent updates made on September 16, and October 22, 2020, the subscribers have failed to date to fund their commitments. On December 8, 2020, the Company delivered demand letters to the subscribers, demanding that they close by December 11, 2020. Having failed to do so, the Company views these agreements as being at an end, and has demanded that the subscribers reimburse the Company for the costs it has incurred in respect of these subscriptions. The Company is reserving its rights to take further action in the future.
