Octopus Renewables Infrastructure Trust plc

("ORIT" or the "Company")

 Revolving credit facility term extended and size reduced

Maturity pushed out to June 2028

Cost savings of c.£850,000 per annum achieved

Octopus Renewables Infrastructure Trust plc, the diversified renewables infrastructure company, announces it has extended the term of its Revolving Credit Facility ("RCF" or the "Facility") from February 2026 to June 2028, and significantly reduced the size of the Facility from £270.8 million to £150 million, with immediate effect. This is in line with the Company's Capital Allocation Update announcement on 11 March 2025.

The updated Facility is being provided by the Company's four existing RCF lenders: National Australia Bank, NatWest, Santander and Allied Irish Banks, with a commitment of £37.5 million from each. The uncommitted accordion feature has also been reduced from £150 million to £100 million.

Other terms of the RCF - including the margin of 200bps above SONIA - remain unchanged. The RCF includes a commitment fee of 0.7% per year on undrawn amounts, and the reduction in size will therefore result in a cost saving of approximately £850,000 per year.

The Company recently paid down a portion of its RCF from £151.2 million to £52.7 million, using the proceeds of the new five-year term facility that was announced on 28 February 2025.
