The shares were purchased with full title guarantee and free from all encumbrances, together with all rights attached or accruing to them. The Loan note certificates were issued by Caledonia on November 1, 2022. The aggregate principal amount of the Loan notes were limited to US$7.25 million. Interest on the Loan notes was compounded monthly an interest rate of 13% per annum.
