Q

What are the Bonds?

The Bonds are non-readily realisable, fixed interest, transferable, debt instruments issued by Azurite. The Bonds allow Bondholders to lend money to the Company in exchange for interest payments. The Bonds is due to pay a fixed rate of interest that does not change over its life. The original full face value of each Bond is due to be returned 3 years after it is issued. The Bond is secured on the assets of the Company and those it lends to. The Security Trustee holds the security on behalf of Bondholders pursuant to the Security Trust Deed. However, this does not guarantee a return for bondholders.
