PORTFOLIO UPDATE

VPC Specialty Lending Investments PLC expands existing investment in Borro

The Company is pleased to announce that it has expanded its investment in Borro Ltd in connection with the decision of Victory Park Capital ('VPC'), the investment manager of the Company, to take a majority equity stake in Borro - http://victoryparkcapital.com/2017/nov-16.html.

Through this transaction, the Company will own approximately 49% of Borro. The remaining 51% of the equity will be held by other vehicles managed by VPC, along with Borro's senior management team. The Company will retain its outstanding senior secured debt position of approximately GBP32 million, which is secured by Borro's outstanding loan portfolio. To fund the near term working capital needs of Borro, the Company, alongside VPC's other vehicles, will provide a senior secured credit facility of up to $10 million.

Borro Ltd is a leading consumer lender in the UK and US that offers asset-backed lending secured against luxury assets.

Andrew Adcock, Chairman of VPC Specialty Lending Investments PLC commented:

"We are supporters of Borro's restructured business, and its new management team, and therefore we have agreed to expand our investment in Borro, alongside VPC's other vehicles. We see the opportunity for our shareholders to benefit from a potential increase in the value of the equity over the long term, whilst continuing to make positive returns on our lending to Borro."
