Section 2 Financial Information
Item 2.04 Triggering Events That Accelerate or Increase a Direct Financial Obligation or an Obligation under an Off-Balance Sheet Arrangement
Under the terms of the loan and warrant agreement between CanArgo Energy Corporation (CanArgo) and CA Fiduciary Services Limited, as Settlement Trustees of The SP525A Settlement (CA Fiduciary) dated April 29, 2004, CA Fiduciary advanced CanArgo the sum of £170,000 on April 30, 2004. The term of the loan was for 6 months from the date of draw down. However, in the event that CanArgo raised in excess of US$10 million by way of an equity offering then the loan was repayable, together with accrued interest thereon, within 7 days of receipt by CanArgo of the proceeds of the offering. On September 22, 2004, CanArgo successfully concluded a global public offering in which it received gross proceeds of US$37.5 million thereby triggering the acceleration of CanArgos repayment obligations under the loan agreement. On September 28, 2004, CanArgo repaid all sums due in respect of the loan. The agreement contains provisions in relation to the exercise of warrants which were issued to CA Fiduciary as consideration for advancing the loan and as such the agreement has not been terminated by virtue of the repayment of the loan.
Under the terms of the loan and warrant agreement between CanArgo and Mr Salahi Ozturk dated April 26, 2004 (Original Loan Agreement), Mr Ozturk advanced CanArgo the sum of US$1 million on May 12, 2004 (the Original Loan). The Original Loan Agreement was amended by the amended loan and warrant agreement entered into between the parties on August 27, 2004 (Amended Agreement) pursuant to which Mr. Ozturk made a further $1 million loan convertible into shares of common stock and the term of the Original Loan was extended to May 13, 2005. However, under the Amended Agreement, in the event that CanArgo raised in excess of US$10 million by way of an equity offering, then the Original Loan in the amount of US$1 million was repayable, together with accrued interest thereon, within 7 days of receipt by CanArgo of the proceeds of the offering. On September 22, 2004, CanArgo successfully concluded a global public offering in which it received gross proceeds of US$37.5 million thereby triggering the acceleration of CanArgos repayment obligations under the Amended Agreement. On September 30, 2004, CanArgo repaid all sums due in respect of only the Original Loan, the parties having agreed to the extension of the repayment obligation to such date. The Amended Agreement contains provisions in relation to the exercise of warrants which were issued to Mr. Ozturk as consideration for advancing the loans together with provisions in relation to the additional convertible loan and as such the Agreement has not been terminated by virtue of the repayment of the Original Loan.
