Oslo, 15 November 2024: Reference is made to the stock exchange announcement published by Observe Medical ASA (the "Company") on 12 November 2024, in which it inter alia was stated that the Company is in dialogue with strategic and financial partners to evaluate options to further strengthen its working capital situation.
The Company has (as borrower) entered into two subordinated loan agreements with Navamedic ASA ("Navamedic") as lender for (i) a loan with an outstanding principal amount of NOK 32,000,000 plus accrued interest, entered into on 27 September 2019 ("Loan I") and (ii) a loan with an outstanding principal amount of NOK 5,000,000 plus accrued interest, entered into on 6 September 2023 ("Loan II" and, together with Loan I, the "Loans").
The Company has today agreed certain conditional amendments to said loan agreements with Navamedic.
Navamedic will convert NOK 16,354,815.20 of Loan I to shares in the Company at a subscription price of NOK 0.40 per share, conditional upon the contemplated subsequent offering in the Company being completed with gross proceeds of minimum NOK 1,500,000 (the "Condition"). In total 40,887,038 new shares will be issued to Navamedic upon completion of the conversion. The share capital increase pertaining to the conversion will be resolved by the Company's board of directors pursuant to an authorisation granted by the extraordinary general meeting held on 17 July 2024. Following the conversion, the outstanding principal amount of Loan I will be NOK 15,645,184.80. In addition, interest of approximately NOK 16,000,000 has currently accrued and is unpaid under Loan I.
Subject to satisfaction of the Condition, the loan agreements will also be amended as follows:
The maturity date of Loan I (31 January 2025) will be postponed, with an amortization schedule starting on 1 January 2026, monthly payments of both principal and interest thereafter, and the remaining balance falling due on 31 December 2027. The Company will pay interest on a monthly basis from 1 April 2025 to 31 December 2025.
