Technology Minerals Plc (LSE: TM1), the first listed UK company focused on creating a sustainable circular economy for battery metals, announces it has been notified of a Margin Loan Facility agreement from CLG Capital LLC ("CLG") to Century Cobalt Limited ("CCL") for up to GBP1.0 million (" the Facility"). Recyclus Group Ltd ("Recyclus"), Technology Minerals' 48.35% owned battery recycling business, will borrow funds from CCL from time to time to meet Recyclus' working capital requirements.

Loan amounts drawn from CCL by Recyclus under the Facility, which are repayable to CLG after 12 months and which bear interest at the Bank of England base rate plus 10%, are reimbursable to CCL by Recyclus under similar terms. The security on the loan is provided in the form of a charge over shares held by CCL in Technology Minerals. Therefore, 181,405,895 ordinary shares (representing 11.98% of the total issued share capital of the Company) have been transferred from CCL to CLG.

As a result, CCL now holds 212,840,318 Ordinary shares, which comprises 14.06% of the Company's issued share capital. In addition, CLG now holds 181,405,895 Ordinary shares, which comprises 11.98% of the Company's issued share capital. CCL retains voting rights over the 181,405,895 ordinary shares used as security which will be returned to CCL on repayment of the Facility by CCL.

CCL is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Century Cobalt Corp ("CCC"). Alexander Stanbury, a Director of the Company, holds 23.47% of the common stock of CCC and Lester Kemp, a Director of the Company, holds 0.77% of the common stock of CCC.

CLG Capital specialises in structured transactions to high growth companies providing patient capital for the companies it invests in.
