Rod Lockhart, Chief Executive of LendInvest, commented:

"We are delighted to reach this important milestone. We are very proud of what the team has achieved already but we are also hugely excited about the opportunities we see ahead.

Our differentiated, technology-driven business model makes us uniquely placed to lead the digital disruption of the property finance sector and, in turn, continue attracting deep pools of investor capital to our platform. This IPO will provide us with the resources and flexibility to continue investing in our technology, expand our range of products and enter new segments of the market."

Christian Faes, Founder and Executive Chair of LendInvest, commented:

"It's been an exciting journey building LendInvest over the course of the last 13 years, but there's a real sense amongst the team that we're just getting started. Property finance is one of the biggest markets in financial services, and yet still offers amongst the worst customer experience with offline, archaic processes. LendInvest is changing this.

From a standing start we now have GBP2.8bn FuM, and count some of the world's largest financial institutions as investors. We have achieved this by building a platform that offers speed and certainty to borrowers and intermediaries while offering investors access to an attractive asset class with compelling risk-adjusted returns.

We are thrilled to welcome our new shareholders to the business and look forward to beginning the next stage of our journey."

This announcement contains statements that are, or may be deemed to be, "forward-looking statements". These forward-looking statements involve known and unknown risks and uncertainties, many of which are beyond the control of the Company and its subsidiary undertakings (the "Group") and all of which are based on the Directors' current beliefs and expectations about future events. In some cases, these forward-looking statements can be identified by the use of forward-looking terminology, including, without limitation, the terms "anticipates", "believes", "could", "envisages", "estimates", "expects", "intends", "may", "plans", "projects", "should", "will" or, in each case, their negative or other variations or comparable terminology. These forward-looking statements relate to matters that are not historical facts. They appear in a number of places throughout this announcement and include statements regarding the intentions, beliefs and current expectations of the Company or the Directors concerning, among other things, the results of operations, financial condition, liquidity, prospects, growth and strategies of the Company and the industry in which the Group operates. By their nature, forward-looking statements involve risks and uncertainties because they relate to events and depend on circumstances that may or may not occur in the future. Forward-looking statements are not guarantees of future performance. The actual results, performance or achievements of the Group or developments in the industry in which the Group operates may differ materially from the future results, performance or achievements or industry developments expressed or implied by the forward-looking statements contained in this announcement.

These forward-looking statements and other statements contained in this announcement regarding matters that are not historical facts involve predictions. No assurance can be given that such future results will be achieved; actual events or results may differ materially as a result of risks and uncertainties facing the Group. Such risks and uncertainties could cause actual results to vary materially from the future results indicated, expressed or implied in such forward-looking statements.

Each of the Company and Joh. Berenberg, Gossler & Co. KG, London Branch, and their respective affiliates, expressly disclaims any obligation or undertaking to update, review or revise any forward-looking statements contained in this announcement and disclaims any obligation to update its view of any risks or uncertainties described herein or to publicly announce the results of any revisions to the forward-looking statements made in this announcement, whether as a result of new information, future developments or otherwise, except as required by law.

Certain figures contained in this announcement, including financial information, have been subject to rounding adjustments. Accordingly, in certain instances, the sum or percentage change of the numbers contained in this announcement may not conform exactly with the total figure given.

The anticipated timetable for Admission, including the publication of the Admission Document and/or the date of Admission, may be influenced by a range of circumstances such as market conditions. There is no guarantee that the Admission Document will be published or that Admission will occur. Acquiring investments to which this announcement relates may expose an investor to a significant risk of losing all or part of the amount invested. Persons considering making such an investment should consult an authorised person specialising in advising on such investments.

This announcement does not constitute a recommendation concerning Admission or the Ordinary Shares. The value of Ordinary Shares and the income from them is not guaranteed and can fall as well as rise due to stock market and currency movements. On any sale of an investment an investor may get back less than he or she originally invested. Potential investors should consult a professional adviser as to the suitability of the Ordinary Shares for the person concerned before making any investment decision. Past performance cannot be relied upon as a guide to future performance.

Neither Joh. Berenberg, Gossler & Co. KG, London Branch, nor any of its affiliates, directors, officers or employees, advisers, agents or any other person accepts any responsibility or liability whatsoever for the contents of, or makes any representations or warranties, express or implied, as to the accuracy, fairness or completeness of the information presented or contained in this announcement (or whether any information has been omitted from this announcement) or any other information relating to the Company, its subsidiaries and their associated companies, whether written, oral or in a visual or electronic form, and howsoever transmitted or made available or for any loss howsoever arising from any use of this announcement or its contents or otherwise arising in connection therewith.

KG, London Branch and its affiliates, directors, officers or employees, and any other person acting on their behalf expressly disclaims, to the fullest extent possible, any and all liability whatsoever for any loss howsoever arising from, or in reliance upon, the whole or any part of the contents of this announcement, whether in tort, contract or otherwise which they might otherwise have in respect of this announcement or its contents or otherwise arising in connection therewith.

Joh. Berenberg, Gossler & Co. KG, London Branch is acting exclusively for the Company and no-one else in connection with the possible Admission. They will not regard any other person as their respective clients in relation to the possible Admission and will not be responsible to anyone other than the Company for providing the protections afforded to their respective clients, nor for providing advice in relation to the possible Admission, the contents of this announcement or any transaction, arrangement or other matter referred to herein.

KG, London Branch and any of its affiliates may take up a portion of the Ordinary Shares as a principal position and in that capacity may retain, purchase, sell, offer to sell or otherwise deal for their own accounts in such Ordinary Shares and other securities of the Company or related investments in connection with the Placing or otherwise. Accordingly, references in the Admission Document, once published, to the Ordinary Shares being issued, offered, subscribed, acquired, placed or otherwise dealt in should be read as including any issue or offer to, or subscription, acquisition, placing or dealing by Joh. Berenberg, Gossler & Co. KG, London Branch and any of its affiliates acting in such capacity. In addition, Joh. Berenberg, Gossler & Co.

Information to Distributors

Solely for the purposes of the product governance requirements of Chapter 3 of the FCA Handbook Product Intervention and Product Governance Sourcebook (the "UK Product Governance Requirements"), and disclaiming all and any liability, whether arising in tort, contract or otherwise, which any "manufacturer" (for the purposes of the UK Product Governance Requirements) may otherwise have with respect thereto, the Ordinary Shares have been subject to a product approval process, which has determined that the Ordinary Shares are: (i) compatible with an end target market of retail investors and investors who meet the criteria of professional clients and eligible counterparties, each defined in paragraph 3 of the FCA Handbook Conduct of Business Sourcebook; and (ii) eligible for distribution through all permitted distribution channels (the "Target Market Assessment"). Notwithstanding the Target Market Assessment, "distributors" (for the purposes of the UK Product Governance Requirements) should note that: the price of the Ordinary Shares may decline and investors could lose all or part of their investment; the Ordinary Shares offer no guaranteed income and no capital protection; and an investment in the Ordinary Shares is compatible only with investors who do not need a guaranteed income or capital protection, who (either alone or in conjunction with an appropriate financial or other adviser) are capable of evaluating the merits and risks of such an investment and who have sufficient resources to be able to bear any losses that may result therefrom. The Target Market Assessment is without prejudice to any contractual, legal or regulatory selling restrictions in relation to the Placing. Furthermore, it is noted that, notwithstanding the Target Market Assessment, Joh. Berenberg, Gossler & Co. KG, London Branch will only procure investors who meet the criteria of professional clients and eligible counterparties.

For the avoidance of doubt, the Target Market Assessment does not constitute: (a) an assessment of suitability or appropriateness for the purposes of Chapters 9A or 10A respectively of the FCA Handbook Conduct of Business Sourcebook; or (b) a recommendation to any investor or group of investors to invest in, or purchase, or take any other action whatsoever with respect to the Ordinary Shares.

Each distributor is responsible for undertaking its own target market assessment in respect of the Ordinary Shares and determining appropriate distribution channels.
