The Lender's obligation to subscribe for the Loan Notes is subject to a condition precedent, being approval by the UK Financial Conduct Authority ("FCA") of a prospectus relating to the Loan Notes. Upon satisfaction of this condition, the Lender will be obligated to subscribe for the full £3,000,000 principal amount in accordance with the terms of the CLN Instrument.

Key Terms of the Convertible Loan Notes
