During the year, the Company issued additional unsecured convertible loan notes to the Co-Founders totalling £102,000 (2024: £120,000). The total amount outstanding at year-end is £222,000. The loan notes carry an interest rate of 4% per annum, (payable only if and when the loans are repaid). The holders of the loan notes have the option to convert the outstanding principal and accrued interest into ordinary shares at a conversion price of £5 per share. Maturity dates range from May 2027 to June 2028.
The loan notes are unsecured and are repayable in cash or convertible into equity, at the maturity date, or automatically upon the receipt by the Company of the full subscription amount due to it in connection with a Financing Round or the completion of a Sale or IPO. Accrued interest will only become payable if and when the Loans are repaid in accordance with this Agreement.
The notes are subordinated to all other liabilities.
