-
The Company will issue new ordinary shares in Kibo ('Kibo Shares') to Sanderson to the value of USD732,036 (being the difference between the amount of the Receivable and the funds to be provided under the Facility) at the VWAP for Kibo shares over the 30 days prior to the date of signing of the Term Sheet, ie. 20 December 2016;
-
Kibo will be under no obligation to draw the full amount available under the Facility, but will forfeit any payments not drawn against on the due date of the relevant tranche;
