Holdings in the Company

The Company has received a notice from Tintra Acquisitions Limited ("TAL"), that in accordance with the financing agreement announced on 25 March 2021 (as amended by the announcement of 15 July 2021), that TAL wishes to settle the remaining £321,990 (plus £4,687 of accrued interest) of its existing loan facility to the Company (the "Loan") that may be settled by way of the issue of 5%, 3-year, convertible loan notes, convertible at a price of 10 pence per Ordinary Share (the "Convertible Loan Notes").  A total of £326,677 Convertible Loan Notes has therefore been issued to TAL. 

The issue of Convertible Loan Notes was capped at the time of the financing agreement, as such the balance of the Loan after this issue will be £52,500 (plus accrued interest), which relates to re-drawn amounts on a revolving facility due to be repaid in cash on 25 March 2023, in accordance with the original agreement.

Richard Shearer, Group CEO and Director of TAL commented, "Driven by  the same housekeeping rationale as other actions in the past few days, this step removes from Tintra plc's balance sheet another repayable obligation and at the same time ensures that TAL has assets available to be able to support the obligations it voluntarily adopted to support St Daniel House which in turn has also enhanced the Company's balance sheet by more than £1m."
