As disclosed in its September 25, 2023, press release, in consideration of the proposed amendments, the Company agreed to (i) pay an amount equal to US$600,000, or 100 basis points calculated on the outstanding principal amount of the funded debt as of October 16, 2023 (US$60 million), which such amount was added to the outstanding principal amount of the funded debt as payment in kind ; and (ii) reprice the exercise price of the common share purchase warrants (the “Warrants”) held by Marathon to US$0.575 per share from US$1.45 per share.
