LendInvest plc

Update on EBT Purchase and Total Voting Rights

On 4 July 2022, LendInvest plc ("LendInvest" or the "Company") announced that certain current and former employees who hold, or will hold following the exercise of outstanding options, ordinary shares in the capital of the Company ("Ordinary Shares") (the "Eligible Shareholders") would be able to provide irrevocable instructions to Equiniti Financial Services Limited to sell Ordinary Shares to the LendInvest Employee Benefit Trust (the "EBT").

The Company is pleased to announce that the EBT has today agreed to acquire in aggregate 1,950,492 Ordinary Shares (the "Employee Sale Shares") at a price of 153.5 pence per Employee Sale Share (the "Sale").  No directors or other PDMRs participated in the Sale.

In connection with the Sale, Eligible Shareholders have exercised options over 1,446,334 Ordinary Shares. To satisfy the exercise of these options, the Company will issue 682,136 new Ordinary Shares (the "New Ordinary Shares") to the EBT.

Application has been made to London Stock Exchange plc for admission of the New Ordinary Shares to trading on AIM ("Admission"). It is expected that settlement of the Employee Sale Shares ("Settlement") will occur, and Admission will become effective, at 8.00am on 13 July 2022.

The New Ordinary Shares, when issued, will be fully paid and will rank pari passu in all respects with the existing Ordinary Shares, including the right to receive all dividends and other distributions declared, made or paid in respect of Ordinary Shares after the date of issue.

Following Admission, the total number of shares in issue in the Company will be 138,381,046. The Company does not hold any shares in treasury and all shares have equal voting rights. Therefore, following Admission, the number of voting shares in issue in the Company will be 138,381,046. This figure may be used by shareholders as the denominator for the calculations by which they will determine if they are required to notify their interest in, or a change to their interest in, the Company under the Financial Conduct Authority's Disclosure Guidance and Transparency Rules.

Lock up arrangements expiring on 14 July 2022 have been waived with respect to the Employee Sale Shares. Eligible Shareholders who sold Employee Sale Shares are subject to a new lock up arrangement until 11 November 2022.
