Extension of loan facility

Mirada (AIM: MIRA), a leading provider of integrated software solutions for digital TV operators, broadcasters and streaming platforms, is pleased to announce the extension of the maturity date of its loan facility with Leasa Spain, S.L.U. (the "Lender") to 30 November 2023. The Lender is controlled by Mr Ernesto Luis   Tinajero   Flores who has a beneficial interest in 87.21 per cent. of the Company's issued share capital of the Company. 

On 4 June 2019, Mirada's subsidiary,  Mirada Iberia, S.A.U. ("Mirada Iberia"), obtained a revolving credit facility for up to €1.3 million from the Lender (the "Facility"). On 21 May 2020, the Company announced that it had agreed an extension to the maturity date of the Facility to 30 November 2021. On 27 September 2021 the Company announced that an extension to the maturity date of the Facility had been agreed with a revised expiry date of 30 November 2022 (the "Maturity Date"), an increase of the Facility to €3.0 million and the novation of the Facility from Mirada Iberia to Mirada plc.

The Lender has now agreed to extend the Maturity Date to 30 November 2023.  All other terms of the Facility remain unchanged and are set out in the announcement of 4 June 2019 , including that the Facility is unsecured and bears an interest rate of 8 per cent. per annum on monies that are drawn down.   Currently, the Facili ty is fully drawn.

The amendment of the Facility is a related party transaction pursuant to rule 13 of the AIM Rules for Companies, due to the Lender being controlled by Mr Ernesto Luis Tinajero Flores who has a beneficial interest in 87.21 per cent. of the Company's issued share capital through his indirect interest in Kaptungs Limited, which holds 7,768,791 ordinary shares of the Company.  The Directors of the Company consider, having consulted with the Company's Nominated Adviser, that the terms of the transaction are fair and reasonable insofar as the Company's shareholders are concerned.
