Rambler Provides an Update on Financial Position
London, England - Newfoundland and Labrador, Canada - Rambler Metals and Mining plc (AIM: RMM) ("Rambler" or the "Company"), a copper and gold producer, explorer, and developer, announces an update on its financial position.
As noted in the Company's announcement of 27 October 2022, the Company's first principal repayment was due to Newgen Resource Lending Inc ("Newgen") on 31 October 2022. No payment of principal was made to Newgen on 31 October 2022 and therefore an event of default has occurred as defined in the Newgen loan agreement. In addition, the Company ceased to make payments of interest due to Newgen in September 2022. Newgen and Rambler remain in constructive discussions to find a solution to the refinancing or restructuring of the Company. In the meanwhile, operations at the mine site are continuing as normal.
There can be no certainty at this stage that Newgen will agree to defer or reschedule the repayment of its loan or interest due on its loan, or the terms on which any deferral will be agreed. Accordingly, the Company's financial position remains uncertain.
The information contained within this announcement is deemed by the Company to constitute inside information as stipulated under the Market Abuse Regulations (EU) No. 596/2014 ('MAR') which has been incorporated into UK law by the European Union (Withdrawal) Act 2018. Upon the publication of this announcement via Regulatory Information Service ('RIS'), this inside information is now considered to be in the public domain.
