The remaining USD 20 million loan facility will be used to refurbish the East Java Assets. DAP’s borrowings under the loan facility will be guaranteed by the Company and secured by the East Java Assets.

The Company is currently evaluating opportunities to raise funds for the remaining purchase price of the East Java assets, including by means of one or more potential public offerings or private placements of debt or equity securities, which may include a rights offering.
