Amigo Holdings PLC ("Amigo" or the "Company")

Cancelling of Award under Long Term Incentive Plan

Amigo Holdings PLC (LSE: AMGO), a leading provider of guarantor loans in the UK, announces that, in respect of awards made under the Amigo Holdings PLC 2019 Long Term Incentive Plan ("LTIP Awards"), the Company has agreed to the request received today from Gary Jennison, the CEO, that the Company cancel his LTIP Awards over 9,500,000 ordinary shares of 0.25 pence each in the Company, made on 1 December 2020.  No compensation will be payable to Mr Jennison for the cancellation of the Award.

The Company agreed to the cancellation request made by Mr Jennison because it helps to address the criticism, raised during the Court Sanction hearing held in May 2021, that the directors could benefit financially through the exercise of LTIP Awards, in the event the Court approved the proposed Scheme of Arrangement.

The below information and notification is made in accordance with the EU Market Abuse Regulation.
