EOS Repays Second Debt Instalment on Schedule
Electro Optic Systems Holdings Limited (“EOS” or “Company”) (ASX: EOS) announces that it
has completed a debt repayment for the amount of $20.5m, on schedule.
This follows the repayment of $26.9M in September 2023 under a separate 12 month working
capital facility. This means that EOS has now repaid, on schedule, 50% of the principal
amounts originally due to Washington H. Soul Pattinson and 100% of the Working Capital
Facility amounts with the only outstanding amount relating to a Term Loan Facility.
As of today, the EOS position under the borrowing facilities with EOS’ primary lender
Washington H. Soul Pattinson, is as follows:
