US$1.5 Million Term Loan

UrtheCast has entered into a US$1.5 million term loan (the "New Term Loan") with Bolzano Investments Limited ("Bolzano") through 1185781 B.C. Ltd. (the "Borrower"), a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company. The New Term Loan (i) accrues interest at a rate of 17% per annum; (ii) has a maturity date of January 15, 2020; and (iii) is secured by all of the assets owned by the Borrower and any net proceeds from the proposed sale of the Company's Deimos assets, if and when such sale is completed. The proceeds of the Term Loan will be used for general corporate purposes.

In satisfaction of conditions required by the lender, the Borrower agreed to pay Bolzano a finance fee in the amount of US$45,000 and UrtheCast agreed to issue to Bolzano 10,560,000 common share purchase warrants of UrtheCast having a maturity date of June 26, 2024 and an exercise price of $0.48 per common share (subject to adjustment in certain circumstances, including if the Company issues any common shares or securities convertible into common shares, other than pursuant to its equity incentive plan, at a lower price, in which case the exercise price shall be reduced to such lower price), subject to approval from the TSX.

Bolzano is also a lender to the Company in connection with the US$12 million one-year term loan previously announced by the Company on January 14, 2019 (the "January Term Loan"). In connection with the New Term Loan, the terms of the January Term Loan have been amended to (i) increase the interest rate from 14% per annum to 17% per annum and (ii) include any net proceeds from the proposed sale of the Company's Deimos assets, if and when such sale is completed, as security.
