Arafura Rare Earths (ASX:ARU) is set to issue AU$200 million of unsecured convertible notes to the National Reconstruction Fund to support the development of its Nolans project in the Northern Territory, according to a Tuesday filing with the Australian bourse.
The notes will have a tenor linked to the maturity of Nolans' senior finance facilities and are convertible at AU$0.476 apiece after two years of issue, per the filing.
The issuance is subject to several conditions, including the approval of a final investment decision for Nolans, which must be satisfied by May 11, 2027.
Arafura and the National Reconstruction Fund have signed definitive documentation for the issuance, superseding a binding term sheet signed in January 2025.
