    3.1   on 29 September 2023, the Board adopted a written resolution providing financial
          assistance in the form of an extended guarantee issued by the Company in favour of

          subsidiary arising from an existing €40 000 000 (Forty Million Euro) facility, which has been
          extended for a further six months to 26 March 2025;
    3.2   the Board is satisfied that immediately after providing the financial assistance, the
