The transaction involves the subscription of a convertible loan for an initial amount of $2.84 million, with the option to increase the investment by a further $2.84 million.
The timescales for the conversion into equity will be contingent upon the occurrence of specific conditions typical of similar transactions.
The completion of the investment in WSense is subject to the fulfillment of certain conditions agreed upon by the parties, in addition to obtaining the authorizations required for this type of transaction.
