EXTENSION OF NOTE PAYABLE
Global Energy Development PLC, the Latin America focused
petroleum exploitation, development and production company (AIM:
GED) with operations in Colombia announces that on 30 August 2012
it agreed to an extension of the maturity date of its Senior
Secured Note Payable with HKN, Inc. ("HKN") for the principal
amount of US$5 million (the "Note Payable"). The repayment of the
Note Payable is now due on 14 April 2013.
In exchange for this extension, the Company agreed to increase
the interest charge by 2.0% to 12.5%, with effect from the date the
extension was granted. The Company will also pay to HKN a one-time
1% transaction fee of $50,000.
HKN and parties acting in concert with it are interested in
21,702,405 Global shares, representing approximately 60.21 per
cent. of the issued share capital of Global. By virtue of these
holdings, the amendment to the Note Payable constitutes a related
party transaction under the AIM Rules. With the exception of Mr.
Mikel Faulkner, who is a director of HKN, the Company's Directors
consider, having consulted with Northland Capital Partners Limited,
the Company's Nominated Adviser, that the terms of the transaction
are fair and reasonable insofar as the Company's shareholders are
concerned.
