Convening of bondholders' meeting to resolve a temporary standstill agreement

Tallinn, Estonia, 31 July 2023. PlusPlus Capital (“PPC”), a leading Pan-Baltic and Finnish technology-driven receivables management group, is currently facing higher-than-expected costs in relation to  restructuring outstanding Baltic bonds and as a result will not pay the coupon of the EUR Bond 2022/2026. The Company intends to fulfil its obligations of interest payment through a share issue, the subscription period of which is until 29 September 2023. Currently, approximately two-thirds of the EUR 4.5 million issue has been subscribed. Management looks forward to achieving full subscription by the end of the subscription period. Therefore, the Company convenes a meeting of bondholders to resolve a temporary standstill agreement.

At the bondholders' meeting to be convened on 29 August 2023, a temporary standstill agreement regarding interest payments related to the EUR 2022/2026 bonds, and the enforcement of the guarantees until 2 October 2023 is to be resolved. In the best interest of all parties, the objective is to enable the Company to make the interest payments.

All bondholders will receive the formal invitation to vote through their custodian banks.
