Alien issues notice to cancel Tranche 2 Funding from short term lending agreement
Alien Metals Ltd (AIM: UFO), a minerals exploration and development company, is pleased to announce that following the successful raising and placing of £2 million, it has issued notice to the Lender ("Bennelong Limited") of its short-term funding facility (AIM: 3 July 2023) that it will not be drawing on the Tranche 2 (US$500,000) of the Convertible Securities. Accordingly, the Lender holds in total US$500,000 of Convertible Securities in respect of Tranche 1 along with 10,000,000 Warrants (the terms of which are outlined in the RNS of 3 July 2023).
Troy Whittaker, Chief Executive Officer commented:
"We are pleased to announce that The Company will not be drawing on the Tranche 2 funding to help with the Company's medium-term financing projects. The Company successfully raised £2 million through a placing announced to the markets last week to help advance the Hancock Project and unlock the value contained within Pinderi Hills.
"We would like to thank all shareholders, both existing and new who participated in the placing. With their support, we were able to provide the withdrawal notice to the Lender. We have a strong and loyal relationship with Bennelong Limited, a major shareholder and a strong advocate in the story of Alien.
"With the implementation of the new Board and executive changes announced earlier this month, we are striving to deliver on our promises, and this is the first step in that journey."
