("URU" or "the Company")

Extension of Convertible Loan Maturity Date

URU announces that the repayment date for the convertible loan from Boothbay Absolute Return Strategies LP ("Boothbay") has been extended to 28 February 2024 ("Maturity Date") and Boothbay has also agreed that it will not convert sums due under the convertible loan note into ordinary shares of the Company ("Ordinary Shares") prior to 31 January 2024.

Details regarding the convertible loan note were announced by the Company on 6 May 2020, and the maturity date for the note has been extended on a number of occasions since this date by agreement of the parties. As at 29 December 2023 the total amount advanced by Boothbay Absolute Return Strategies LP to the Company was US$500,000.

Unless repaid by the Company, amounts due to Boothbay under the convertible loan note shall convert at or prior to the Maturity Date:

(i) at a price that is a 35 per cent. discount to the Volume Weighted Average Price ("VWAP") per share in the 5 trading days prior to the noteholder serving a conversion notice;

(ii) on completion of an equity fundraising by the Company, at a price that is a 35 per cent. discount to the price per share paid by investors on such equity fundraising;

(iii) on a share sale (meaning a sale of Ordinary Shares giving control of the Company, whether for cash and/or by way of exchange for shares in another company and/or for other consideration, and whether or not control of the Company changes as a result of such transaction), a 35 per cent. discount to the price per share paid on such a share sale; or

(iv) if there is no conversion notice served, equity fundraising or share sale prior to the Maturity Date, at a 35 percent. discount to the VWAP per share in the 5 trading days prior to the maturity date.

In the event that Boothbay is issued with any new Ordinary Shares pursuant to a conversion of the loan note, it will be issued with one warrant attaching to each new Ordinary Share issued, with an exercise period of 18 months from the date of grant and exercisable at £0.85 per new Ordinary Share.
