Funding Circle Holdings plc

Response to press article

We note the share price movement following an article that was published in the Times this morning.

The case reported on is one summary judgment relating to two loans that defaulted in March 2020 and were sold to Azzurro.

No question has been raised as to the general enforceability of loans and personal guarantees on the Funding Circle platform. It is not disputed that the loans were validly entered into and that there is money owed under the personal guarantees.

The case is going to full trial and we are confident that Azzurro will be successful.
