The Green Bonds will have a maturity date of January 30, 2028 and bear interest at a rate of 9% per annum, payable quarterly, and will be senior obligations of the Company secured against the Company's portfolio of royalty and loan investments.
In connection with the closing of the Private Placement, the Company has agreed to pay certain parties a corporate advisory fee consisting of a to be determined amount of cash and warrants of the Company (the "Warrants"). Each Warrant will be exercisable into one common share of the Company at an exercise price of $0.75 per common share for a period of 36 months from the date of issuance.
