The transaction has progressed well, with number of conditions precedent being met, specifically the restart of the operation, payment of exclusivity fee and finalisation of Mayflower’s due diligence. The parties have now agreed to extend the term sheet and exclusivity period from 30 September 2020 to 31 December 2020 subject to the following conditions having been met by 30 October 2020, failing which the exclusivity period will expire on 30 October 2020, but can be waived and amended at GMR’s sole discretion;

·    Preparation by 9 October 2020, of a draft reorganisation plan for Papillon, the UK entity which ultimately intends holding the Kilimapesa asset.

·    Mayflower and Papillon providing GMR with all documentation, assistance and responses required by GMR to complete the due diligence of Mayflower and Papillon by 30 October 2020.

·    A draft LSE listing prospectus and fixed timetable for completion being presented by 30 October 2020.
