The proceeds of the Bridging Loan will be utilised to fulfil a commitment to one of Tern's investments, and in doing so will allow Tern to retain its rights in relation to this investment, and for general corporate purposes until the expected receipt of funds from the Underwritten Open Offer, which is expected to be on or around 31 July 2025. As at 30 June 2025, the Company's unaudited cash balance was approximately £70,000.
The Bridging Loan is an unsecured loan that is repayable on 1 August 2025, which is following the expected receipt of funds from the Underwritten Open Offer. The effective annual interest rate on the Bridging Loan is approximately 12%, which equates to approximately £150 during the term of the loan.
