Staff comments
1. There is very little information about this loan, including the exact signing date, but it is known it was provided prior to July 2022, as a July 2022 timestamped version of the experience list of a lawyer who advised the deal mentions its existence. Still, more investigation is merited to determined the details of this loan, including borrower and more information on the use of the proceeds.
