Under the original Facility Agreements, the loans were due for repayment on or before 30 October 2025. The Company and the Lenders have agreed to extend the repayment date to 30 April 2026, in order to provide continued financial flexibility as the Company advances its operations.

The principal revised terms of the Facility Agreements are as follows:

  • Term: Extended from 30 October 2025 to 30 April 2026.
  • Interest: Fixed interest of 10%, accruing over both the principal and accrued interest.
  • Reprofiling Fee: A 10% reprofiling fee will be settled in cash or, at the Company's discretion, through the issue of new ordinary shares. If settled in shares, the issue price will be the lower of the price of any shares issued in the next capital raise after this agreement or the five-day volume weighted average price (VWAP) at the date of signing. Any such shares will be issued either on the date of that capital raise or, if no raise occurs, within 30 days of this agreement.

All other terms of the Facility Agreements remain unchanged.

Dennis Edmonds, Chief Executive Officer of Kazera Global plc, commented: "We are extremely grateful to both Richard Jennings and Tracarta Limited for their continued support and confidence in Kazera. This extension provides the Company with additional flexibility and stability as our investee companies, Whale Head Minerals (Pty) Ltd and Deep Blue Minerals (Pty) Ltd, continue to strengthen their heavy mineral sands and diamond production, to drive sustained and growing cash generation. The willingness of our major shareholders to extend the facility demonstrates their ongoing commitment to Kazera's long-term strategy and their belief in the value creation potential of our South African investments."
