Pricing of US Private Placement of Notes

Bridgepoint today announces that the Bridgepoint group (the "Group") has successfully priced US$430 million of US Private Placement ("USPP") notes.  The USPP will be structured in 4 tranches, with maturities of 3, 5, 7 and 10 years and an average coupon of 6.17 per cent.

Proceeds from the USPP will provide the Group with additional resources to continue its strategic growth plans, and in part will be used to refinance certain ECP debt following the ECP transaction.

Formal signing of the USPP is expected to occur in the coming weeks, and issue of the USPP notes is expected to occur in Q2 2024, subject to the closing of the ECP transaction and the satisfaction of customary conditions.

Bridgepoint believes that the transaction highlights US investors' confidence in the Group's credit quality well as in its growth strategy over the longer term.
