Further to the Company's announcement on 26 October 2023, Ethernity Networks Ltd (AIM: ENET.L; OTCMKTS: ENETF), a leading supplier of networking processing semiconductor technology ported on field programmable gate arrays ("FPGAs") for virtualised networking appliances, announces that David Levi, CEO, has agreed to provide the Company with a loan for up to 1,000,000 NIS (approximately GBP203,000) which will carry zero interest (the "Loan"). The amount to be provided will be determined by the immediate cash requirements of the Company.

The term of the Loan is until the end of the Temporary Suspension of Proceedings ("TSP") process, details of which were announced on 12 October 2023 and 16 October 20232. Further announcements on the timing of this will be made in due course.

The Loan provides the Company with the interim funding to allow the Company to continue operating as a going concern whilst the Company aims to implement its temporary operating plan during the TSP process. The Loan has been approved by the Court and, pursuant to the terms of the TSP, entitles David Levi to be repaid the loan amount first as a priority creditor in any event.

The proceeds of the Loan will be utilised to cover the essential day to day running costs of the business.
