- Razor has retained 30% of its common shares of FutEra (subject to dilution upon preferred share conversion); and
- FutEra will be responsible for repayment of US$7.9 million of Razor’s current senior secured debt owed to Arena Investors, LP under Razor’s Second Amended and Restated Term Loan Agreement dated as of the date hereof.
As a condition to the completion of the transactions contemplated by the Debt Settlement Agreement, Razor has completed its previously announced rights offering (the “Rights Offering”) to eligible holders of Razor common shares (“Common Shares”) of record at the close of business on May 16, 2023 for aggregate gross proceeds of $4,011,856.80.
