Update in relation to the Placement Facility

The board of directors (the "Board") of Tintra provides an update in relation to the share placement deed which the Company entered into with Fintech Leaders Fund, LLC ("FLF"), that was announced on 16 December 2022 (the "Deed").

The Company had been in discussions, that it commenced, with FLF with a view to reaching an agreement to bring the Deed to an end under the Company's rights under the Deed to repay the investment in cash only, rather than by issuance of shares or a combination of shares and cash.

An agreement has not yet been reached to bring the Deed to an end in an orderly way, despite the best efforts of the Company, and these discussions broke down when FLF issued the Company with two statutory demands for a total amount of £2,936,433.27, inclusive of interest.

The Company views this as an unnecessarily aggressive tactic as these demands were issued in the midst of good faith negotiations related to bringing the Deed to an end and just five business days after a payment was completed under the same Deed.

Having taken legal advice, the Company strongly disputes not only the validity of these statutory demands but further contests that there are no valid notices at all due at this time and that the Deed remains in place until such time as an agreement is reached to bring it to an end or the Deed expires.

The Company has put FLF on notice that it will apply for an injunction to prevent FLF proceeding with the statutory demands. Continuing to act in good faith the Company has instructed Counsel to act on its behalf and will provide updates as appropriate in due course.
