Debt Restructuring
ASX Announcement
30 October 2025
ASX: MKR
Debt Restructuring
Manuka Resources Limited (ASX:MKR, “Manuka” or the “Company”) is pleased to announce
it has reached an agreement with Tennant Metals South Africa Proprietary Limited (“Tennant
Metals or TMSA”) to restructure its existing trade finance facility with the Company.
Highlights
• A$18.2M trade finance debt owed to Tennant Metals as at 30 September
2025 will be restructured as follows:
o A$6.4M will be converted to shares in Manuka, subject to shareholder
approval, at a share price of A$0.075 per share, being the same price
as the A$15M capital raising announced to the market via the ASX on
21 October 2025.
o US$3.0M (~A$4.6M) will be restructured as a subordinated debt facility
with a tenor of 2 years and an interest rate of 14% p.a.
o US$4.0M (~A$6.1M) will be restructured as a subordinated, working
capital facility able to be redrawn through mutual agreement, on the
same terms as the US$3.0M facility above.
o Balance of outstanding trade finance debt to be cancelled.
• The restructuring will result in a reduction in the Company’s cost of capital
that will free up cash for project development and exploration.
As consideration for the restructure, Tennant Metals will receive a once off capitalised fee of
2% on the US$3M term facility and, subject to shareholder approval if required, be issued
approximately 22.5M warrants with a strike price of 12 cents per share in the Company and with
an expiry date of 11 December 2026.
MKR Executive Chairman Dennis Karp commented:
“It is very encouraging to reach an agreement with our long-term lender and shareholder to
convert a portion of their debt into equity at a 50% premium to the current share price. This is a
great display of confidence in the value of the Company’s assets as a whole and in particular
our near-term precious metal production plans in the Cobar Basin that will see Manuka become
the largest primary producer of silver in Australia.”
Production Update
The Company has released a 10-year production plan based on its 100% owned silver and gold
assets located in the prolific Cobar Basin including the existing 1Mtpa processing plant located
at the Wonawinta Silver Mine. The plan comprises a 10.9Mt Production Target containing
19Moz Silver from Wonawinta Open Pits and ROM Stockpiles and 47koz Gold from the Mt
Boppy Open Pit and Wonawinta/Mt Boppy Stockpiles
