Purpose of Transaction |
On November 20, 2022, Bifinity UAB informed the board of directors of the Issuer that it had determined not to fund any future drawdown requests which the
Issuer may make in connection with the Loan pursuant to the Convertible Loan Agreement previously entered into between Bifinity UAB and the Issuer, as it believed the Issuer was not in compliance with certain conditions under such agreement and such
breach was continuing. The Issuer had requested a waiver of such breaches and certain amendments to the terms of the Loan and Bifinity UAB had reserved its rights. On November 20, 2022, Bifinity UAB also informed the Issuers board that if the
board intends to unanimously support a motion to put the Issuer into judicial management, then Bifinity UAB would not object.
On November 21, 2022, the
Issuer announced that it had filed a voluntary application in Singapore to place the Issuer under judicial management or interim judicial management under the laws of Singapore and that two members of the Issuers group have voluntarily
commenced or will imminently commence liquidation.
On November 22, 2022, Bifinity UAB notified the Issuer and certain of its affiliates that, without
prejudice as to whether there is any other event of default or default under any other provisions of the Convertible Loan Agreement, an Event of Default had occurred and is continuing under Clause 13.6 (Insolvency Proceedings) of the
Convertible Loan Agreement. Bifinity UAB further notified the Issuer pursuant to Clause 13.11 (Acceleration) of the Convertible Loan Agreement that all of the Loan, together with accrued interest, and all other amounts accrued or outstanding
under the related finance documents be and are immediately due and payable and that Bifinity UAB is entitled to exercise any or all of its rights, remedies, powers or discretions under the finance documents.
On November 22, 2022, Jonathan Farnell, Chief Executive Officer and a director of the Issuer, and Daniel Ling, Chief Financial Officer and a director of the
Issuer, who had each previously been appointed to such positions by Bifinity UAB pursuant to the terms of the Convertible Loan Agreement, resigned from such positions as well as any positions they held with subsidiaries of the Issuer with immediate
effect. Almira Zejnilagic, who is the Issuers Chief Corporate Affairs Officer and affiliated with Bifinity UAB, also resigned her position from the Issuer with immediate effect.
In addition, the Reporting Persons continue to reserve their rights and confirm that to date they have not agreed to a Proposed Business Combination and
presently are not in further discussions with the Issuer to pursue or engage in a Proposed Business Combination or to otherwise engage in any kind of business cooperation with the Issuer or its affiliates.
In light of the foregoing and the fact that, as announced by the Issuer on November 15, 2022, there is material uncertainty which may cast significant doubt
on the Issuers ability to continue as a going concern, the Issuer may have to undertake a reorganization or liquidation, a sale or transfer of a material amount of assets of the Issuer and its subsidiaries, or other significant corporate
event.
