The debt financing will replace Metro’s existing A$15-million short-term debt facility with Namrog Pty Ltd. The completion of final Debt Financing agreements remains conditional upon a number of conditions, including legal due diligence and permitting. The company expects final agreement to be concluded early in the third quarter of 2017 following the satisfaction of these conditions.
