 Update Regarding its Investment Manager

13 August 2024

Yesterday, Victory Park Capital (the "Investment Manager" or "VPC") announced it has entered into a definitive agreement to sell a majority stake in its business to Janus Henderson Group (NYSE: JHG), a leading global active asset manager.

Importantly, the Investment Manager has advised the Company that in the following transaction VPC's senior management team and personnel remain unchanged, and there will be no impact on the management and operations of the Investment Manager and VSL. The Investment Manager remains focused on liquidating the portfolio to maximize shareholder value.

As a reminder, the managed wind-down of the Company has been in effect since it was approved by Shareholders at the General Meeting on 12 June 2023. As such, the investment objective of the Company was amended so that investments will be realised in an orderly manner, that is, with a view to achieving a balance between returning cash to Shareholders promptly and maximising value.
