During the period of the Agreement, only the cost of financing will be incurred. In addition to mortgaging the Fund’s properties and issuing a Promissory note as covenants to obtain the facility.

The impact of the decline in the profit margin is expected to be positive on the fund’s financial results over the next five-year period.
