New GBP0.5 million Shareholder Loan Facility

Eight Capital (AQSE: ECP), the financial services fintech operating group that aims to source and deliver tech, fintech and other on-trend-sector transactions, has entered into a GBP0.5 million unsecured loan facility ("the Loan Facility") with its main shareholder IWEP Limited ("IWEP").

The Loan Facility has an initial term of twelve months with interest payable at an annualised rate of 4.5% and is available for immediate drawdown. The facility can be repaid at any time during the term. At term the facility is repayable on demand.

The Loan Facility will provide the Company with working capital to fund the execution of its fintech growth strategy as detailed in its RNS announcement of 27 September 2021.

It is intended that the Loan Facility will be repaid by the raising of new equity capital and the issue of other securities by the Company in stages, in the short-term. This may include an equity placing via an open offer to all shareholders. Warrants and/or other securities may also be included in the capital raise.

Related Party Transaction

Dominic White, a director of the Company, is also a director and the beneficial owner of IWEP. Pursuant to AQSE Rule 4.6, the Loan Facility provided by IWEP to the Company therefore constitutes a related party transaction.
