PORTFOLIO UPDATE
The Board of Directors of VPC Specialty Lending Investments PLC (the "Company") is pleased to announce that the largest debt position in the portfolio, Essor Group, Inc.

Accordingly, the Company has received approximately £9.3 million and the Board intends to distribute substantially all the Heyday proceeds to the Company's shareholders as soon as practicable.
