The funding will be provided in nine tranches, with the first tranche including a Part A of €2.8 million (including the fee) and Part B of €2 million, and subsequent tranches of €2 million each with a cool-down period of 22 trading days between tranches (except for between Part A and Part B of the first tranche where there is no cool down period).
