Trade Finance Update

Obtala Limited (AIM: OBT), the African focused agricultural and forestry company, is pleased to announce the initial funding of Obtala (Hong Kong) Limited (a wholly subsidiary of the Company) the proceeds of which will be used to finance the Group's timber trading activities. These funds are complementary to and not a replacement for any external trade finance facility, the size and terms of which will be announced once finalized following the completion of legal documentation.

An initial $1m has been funded in the form of a 10-year loan to Obtala (Hong Kong) Limited. The loan bears interest at 11.5% per annum payable annually in arrears. Funds can be used for financing receivables, inventory and supplier pre-financing and will be put to work immediately whilst external trade finance is being finalised. The Group aims to grow this facility to support the utilization of external trade finance.

Certain Directors of the Company have agreed to invest the following principal amounts:

 
 
                   Chief Executive 
 Paul Dolan         Officer             $250,000 
 Martin Collins    Deputy Chairman      $250,000 
                   Director, Argento 
 Tom Holroyd        Ltd                 $250,000 
                   Director, Obtala 
 Jessica Camus      Ltd                 $200,000 
                   Chief Strategy 
 Adam Barker        Officer             $50,000 
 

Paul Dolan, Obtala CEO, commented: "Since the completion of the WoodBois acquisition we have conducted in-depth analysis in order to understand where the true competitive advantage and highest margin opportunities are, in sourcing and trading African timber. We are close to the completion of due diligence with an external trade finance provider that can best support our working capital requirements, not only for timber trading but also from the increased levels of production we are expecting in both Gabon and Mozambique in 2018. This combination of internal and external trade finance will allow us to optimize profitability while growing the timber trading division during 2018."

The facility is classified as a related party transaction under the AIM Rules. The independent directors, being Miles Pelham, Carnel Geddes and Kevin Milne, having consulted Northland Capital Partners as Nominated Adviser, consider that the terms are fair and reasonable insofar as shareholders are concerned.
