Amigo Holdings PLC Annual Report and Accounts 2025
Amigo's group offered guarantor loans in the UK from 2005 until 2020, aimed at people who couldn't easily get credit elsewhere. After receiving a large number of complaints about its past lending, the group entered a Courtapproved Scheme of Arrangement (Scheme) in May 2022.
Between October 2022 and March 2023, Amigo's group also offered a small number of unsecured loans under the RewardRate brand, again targeting customers unable to borrow from traditional lenders. However, Amigo could not raise enough new equity funding within the deadlines set by the Scheme. As a result, on 23 March 2023, Amigo's group stopped issuing new loans and began an orderly wind-down of its lending operations. All of Amigo's subsidiaries are now in liquidation with net proceeds going to creditors under the Scheme.
Following appointment of the liquidators of the subsidiaries, the financial statements are presented on a standalone basis instead of a group consolidation.
Excess monies in Amigo's subsidiaries were paid to Amigo ahead of the subsidiaries liquidation and these will keep Amigo running while it seeks a possible reverse takeover (RTO).
In October 2025, Amigo announced that it had appointed Craig Ransley as a Board consultant to assist the Board in identifying and pursuing a reverse takeover in the mining sector. Subsequently, investors have irrevocably agreed to subscribe (subject to shareholders' consent) for £1.5m of risk capital in convertible loan notes
Jonathan Roe, Chair Nick Beal, CEO
As we have concluded the wind down of Amigo Holdings PLC's Group (the Group), the Chief Executive and I would like to provide shareholders, in our combined review, with an update on our activities, financial position and the potential future of Amigo Holdings PLC (Amigo).
Unusually, this review covers 18 months from 1 April 2024 to 30 September 2025. In March 2025, the Board agreed to extend the accounting reference date from 31 March to 30 September 2025. This change was to preserve cash in Amigo. In accordance with the UK Listing Rules, Amigo published two sets of unaudited interim accounts in the financial 'year' for the two six-month periods ending 30 September 2024 and 31 March 2025.
In March 2023, having concluded that it could not raise the necessary equity to continue lending, the Board made the incredibly difficult decision to transition to the Fallback Solution under the Group's Scheme of Arrangement (Scheme). This ended efforts to revive the lending business and initiated an orderly wind down. The Fallback Solution required the closure of its lending operations, an orderly, solvent
wind down of the lending
businesses, and the eventual liquidation of its subsidiaries. The decision meant that Amigo Loans Ltd (ALL), the lending subsidiary, immediately stopped new lending and focused instead on realising assets. All surplus cash generated under the Courtapproved Scheme was to be returned to Scheme creditors (customers with valid redress claims in the Scheme).
The period from 1 April 2024 to 30 September 2025 was therefore one of closure, transition, and completion. The business fully wound down, the Scheme was completed, and the subsidiaries handed back their FCA authorisations and were placed into liquidation. What remains is Amigo, a listed holding company with modest residual cash resources looking for an opportunity for a reverse takeover (RTO).
The Group's focus during this period was to optimise recoveries for Scheme creditors while minimising costs. The guiding principles remained: good governance, fair treatment of customers, and strict control of expenses, while ensuring Scheme creditors' returns balanced the amount paid and speed of payment.
All the loans were sold to unconnected FCA authorised third parties via competitive tenders. In total, we completed 8 sales.
Staff numbers fell from 193 in March 2023 to 94 in March
2024 and just nine by September 2025.
The Scheme was a complex undertaking:
Over 209,000 claims were received, far more than expected, and many were upheld in whole or in part. This significantly increased administrative work and slowed processing.
In March 2025, an Additional Scheme Payment of 6.01p in the
pound was declared and distributed to Scheme creditors. The amount available for distribution included the amount forfeited in relation to the Initial Scheme Payment. This Additional Scheme Payment resulted in a further £34.4m being returned to Scheme creditors. Again, despite our best efforts at communication, some customers forfeited their payment under the terms of the Scheme because they had still not provided their bank details.
On 17 September 2025, PwC, as Scheme Supervisor, formally declared the Scheme completed under its terms. This marked the end of the Group's obligations to customers under the Scheme. The cash payment of £108.2m was through the Scheme Payments, which exceeded the £95m expected when the court approved the Preferred Solution under the Scheme. For customers, the completion of the Scheme brought closure, with redress delivered through refunds, balance write-offs, or Scheme payments at pence in the pound.
Amigo had two companies that were authorised and regulated by the Financial Conduct Authority (FCA). By early July 2025, the FCA had agreed that we could hand back both of our permissions. We want to thank the FCA for its assistance and guidance throughout the Scheme process.
Following completion of the Scheme:
Amigo now exists as a listed company with no liabilities to Scheme creditors.
Following appointment of the liquidators of the subsidiaries, the financial statements are presented on a standalone basis instead of a group consolidation.
Our employees have been central to delivering the wind down and completing the Scheme in an orderly and responsible manner. They have demonstrated remarkable resilience through a very challenging period – providing excellent service under challenging circumstances, knowing that their redundancies were unavoidable.
Kerry Penfold did a great job of leading us through the most difficult parts of the wind down. We are very grateful for her leadership and friendship.
Employee wellbeing remained a priority, with support provided to remaining and departing staff throughout the wind down.
Amigo retained key staff in governance, customer care, and compliance roles while it still had customers. However, they have now all left the business.
We have endeavoured to support departing employees through the redundancy process.
By mid-2025, only a small team remained to finalise wind down and pre-liquidation activities.
By October 2025, we had only four employees to support the liquidators and oversee the final tasks.
All remaining employees have subsequently been made redundant.
Amigo's financial reporting and structure also adapted during the wind down:
Fundraising: As described below under Strategic Initiatives, in April and May 2024, following General Meeting approval, Amigo raised just over £235,000 in aggregate before expenses, through a small share placing. This extended Amigo's financial runway.
Also, as described below under Strategic Initiatives, all intercompany debts due by Amigo to its subsidiaries were discharged and released
mentioned above, Amigo changed its financial year-end from 31 March to 30 September. The reason for this change was to defer audit costs and conserve cash.
Ongoing cash position: Following the subsidiaries' liquidations, Amigo is left with approximately £460,000 (net) at 30 September 2025 to fund corporate costs and explore potential transaction opportunities.
With no lending operations and the Scheme obligations discharged, Amigo has become a listed non-operating cash entity as the Board continues to explore possible RTO opportunities,
supported by external advisers, to create value for shareholders. It was clear that if a suitable opportunity did not emerge, that the Company will, as previously indicated, ultimately seek shareholders' approval to delist from the London Stock Exchange and enter its own members' voluntary liquidation.
At present, shareholders should recognise that Amigo's cash reserves are limited, and unless a viable transaction is identified, the Company is unlikely to have any remaining value.
As noted above, ahead of their solvent liquidations, the subsidiaries transferred approximately £740,000 in residual funds to Amigo. After estimated liquidation costs (c£290,000), around £460,000 remains to fund corporate overheads and the continuing examination of RTO targets. Before this transfer, Amigo had just £10,000 remaining from the share placing described below. In line with our duties under the Companies Act, Amigo continued to explore opportunities to enhance shareholder value:
A total of 95,019,200 new shares were issued fully paid across two tranches in April and May 2024 at an issue price of 0.25p per share, raising just over £235,000, before expenses. The second tranche of 71,252,800 shares required shareholders to waive their preemption rights at a General Meeting held in April 2024. The
resolution was passed, with almost 98% votes cast in favour. As part of that fundraising, all intercompany debts owed by Amigo to its subsidiaries, totalling £71.0m, were discharged and released, but the subsidiaries no longer supported Amigo's costs. Amigo had no ability to pay these debts, and without this step, would have become insolvent if the loans were called in during the subsidiaries' solvent liquidation.
On 27 October 2025, Amigo announced that it had appointed Craig Ransley (Craig) as a Board consultant to assist the Board in identifying and pursuing a reverse takeover in the mining sector.
Under Craig's consultancy agreement, Amigo agreed that if Craig successfully introduced investors that irrevocably agreed to subscribe for a £1.5 million capital raise, then Amigo would pay Craig a fee of £200,000. Craig agreed to use the fee to subscribe for 57,035,200 Amigo new ordinary shares of 0.25p each fully paid (Fee Shares) at an issue price of 0.3507p per Fee Share.
On 14 November 2025, Amigo announced that Craig had successfully introduced investors that irrevocably subscribed for up to £1.5 million of unlisted convertible loan notes (Loan Notes) (subject to shareholders' approval). Therefore, Amigo paid the £200,000 to Craig who used that to subscribe for the Fee Shares.
The Loan Notes are convertible at a price of 0.3p per Amigo new ordinary shares of 0.25p each fully paid into a maximum of 500,000,000 Amigo new ordinary shares of 0.25p each fully paid (Conversion Shares). The subscription for the Loan Notes is subject only to approval by shareholders at a General Meeting. The Loan Notes are mandatorily convertible by Amigo in two tranches:
On 26 November 2025, Amigo announced that it will enable existing shareholders to participate and buy new ordinary shares in the capital raise at the same price as the Loan Notes through the Winterflood Retail Access Platform to raise up to £188,100 subject also to approval by shareholders at a General Meeting.
On 26 November 2025, Amigo announced that it will hold a general meeting to consider a resolution relating to these proposals on 19 December 2025.
Jim McColl, who had been a Strategic Consultant to the Board since March 2024, joined the Board in September 2024 as a Non-Executive Director. Jim brings 30 years of experience in building businesses and creating shareholder value. He has focused on identifying potential RTO opportunities and guiding the Company through its next phase.
Kerry Penfold resigned as an executive director on the Board in May 2025. Kerry did an amazing job as CEO, leading the team through to completion of the very complicated Scheme process.
Michael Bartholomeusz resigned as a Non-Executive Director on the Board in May 2025. We are very grateful for Michael's support during this very difficult time for Amigo. His contributions to board discussions, with particular focus on risk and regulation, helped ensure that we did the right thing for customers.
Nick Beal, who had served as Chief Restructuring Officer since 2020, joined the Board as CEO in May 2025.
These changes reflect the Board's alignment with Amigo's current phase and strategic priorities.
The period from April 2024 to September 2025 saw the final stages of Amigo Group's wind down:
Loan books sold and collections ceased.
This is not the outcome the Board or shareholders once hoped for. However, Scheme creditors received a better result than originally forecast, and the wind down has been conducted in a solvent, controlled, and responsible manner.
The future of Amigo PLC now rests on whether it can secure a viable RTO or other corporate transaction with the resources available. If no suitable transaction occurs, Amigo may seek shareholders' approval to delist and enter voluntary liquidation, leaving shareholders with no residual value.

This Corporate Governance statement forms part of the Directors Report by way of cross reference.
In March 2023, Amigo announced it had been unable to secure sufficient capital to continue its original plan to rebuild a responsible, mid-cost lending business under the Scheme's Preferred Solution. As a result, the Group moved to the Fallback Solution. This required an orderly wind-down of Amigo Loans Ltd (ALL), including the immediate cessation of new lending and the Board focused on proportionate governance suitable for a company in wind-down. While the wind-down requirement applied specifically to ALL, with no other revenue-generating activities in the Group, all Group subsidiaries appointed liquidators in September 2025. Board changes in 2025 (Kerry Penfold and Michael Bartholomeusz leaving) reflect alignment with the Company's transition from an operating group to a non-operating cash entity.
The Group continues to investigate opportunities for Amigo to continue in some form, including a Reverse Takeover. Jim McColl joined the Board in September 2024 to support this initiative. On 27 October 2025, Amigo announced that it had appointed Craig Ransley as a Board consultant to assist the Board in identifying and pursuing a reverse takeover in the mining sector. Subject to shareholders' approval, investors have irrevocably undertaken to invest up to £1.5 million for unlisted convertible loan notes (Loan Notes). The net proceeds (after expenses) of the Loan Notes will be used to provide funds for due diligence and progressing any potential RTO and general working capital.
If no viable transaction is achieved, the Board will be required to delist from the London Stock Exchange.
Amigo group's lending business was created to help people with limited borrowing options gain access to affordable loans and improve their financial situation. We aimed to provide fair, accessible loans to customers who couldn't use mainstream lenders.
However, we were unable to raise the funds needed to keep the business going and we stopped offering new loans and began winding down the lending business in an orderly way. During this process, we collected repayments, sold the remaining loan book, and managed customer complaints under the Scheme, while continuing to follow good governance and regulatory standards.
Final payments were made to Scheme creditors. The Scheme was completed on its terms in August 2025 and all subsidiaries of Amigo appointed liquidators in September 2025.
Amigo, the listed parent company, is still exploring the possibility of an RTO to secure a future for the business. Following the announcement that Amigo appointed Craig as a Board consultant, the Board has started identifying and pursuing an RTO in the mining sector.
Amigo has always valued its people, who have shown resilience and commitment through very challenging years. As we've wound down the business, we've remained focused on supporting staff wellbeing, retaining key roles to complete our obligations, and helping colleagues prepare for future careers.
All employees were placed at risk of redundancy in March 2023, but we reduced the initial impact by redeploying staff internally and cutting outsourced work. We offered support through regular communication, a 24/7 assistance line, Mental Health First Aiders, hybrid working, and outplacement services to help employees transition into new roles.
Diversity, equity and inclusion remain central to our culture. Our policies and annual training ensure all employees are supported and treated fairly, regardless of background, so everyone feels valued and able to reach their potential.

In the past, Amigo took pride in supporting the community. Due to our current financial situation, we have been unable to contribute to charities or other non-core activities as much as we would like. However, we still play a part locally by working with local businesses and sharing job opportunities from other employers with our staff.
Amigo is committed to respecting human rights and upholding the highest ethical standards. We conduct our business with integrity and strong governance. As required by the UK Modern Slavery Act, our Board approves a Modern Slavery Statement each year, which is published on our website.
This report summarises the greenhouse gas emissions (scope 1 and 2) and total energy consumption for the reporting year to 31 March 2025. It also includes the following 6 months, to align with the Group's accounting period.

For scope 1 emissions, we had sold the Company's van mid-way through the last reporting year, which resulted in our mobile combustion emissions decreasing to 0. There have also been no refrigerant replacements needed for AC units in the reporting year.
Our energy consumption has decreased overall as we have consolidated our office space. We vacated 11a, Commercial Road in July 2024, moving into a shared office space with 7 desks. This has been reflected in the overall reduction of electricity.
Our intensity ratio has seen an increase due to the final reported FTE figure in the reporting year. At the end of the last reporting period (FY2024), we had 127 FTEs compared to 29 FTEs at the end of March 2025. At the end of September 2025, we had 9 FTEs.
For FY2026 half-year results, all employees worked remotely from the 30 May onwards, as part of the business closure. This has led to operational emissions reducing significantly.
There were no energy efficiency actions or initiatives implemented in FY2025, and therefore, nothing to report for the financial year.
In line with the reporting requirements of SECR, the organisational boundary encompasses everything within the operational control of Amigo Holdings PLC. The reported emissions and energy consumption data included the following offices:
Amigo Holdings PLC collects and reports data in accordance with the Greenhouse Gas Protocol: A Corporate Accounting and Reporting Standard, Revised Edition, as well as the ISO14064-1 standard.
Data is based on energy consumption for the period 1 April to 31 March. The 6 months that follow this have also been included to align with the Company's annual accounts.
Primary activity data was multiplied by the relevant emission factor to calculate the kWh figures (Table 1) and the tonnes of carbon dioxide equivalent figures (Table 2).
As per best practice, scope 2 emissions were dual-reported and calculated using both location- and market-based approaches. The location-based electricity was calculated by multiplying primary consumption data by the average emissions intensity of the grid where the energy is consumed. Market-based electricity was calculated to account for the use of renewable electricity. However, Amigo Holdings PLC had no contractual instruments in place to account for any renewable energy being used. Therefore, the default residual mix emission factor, which represents the unclaimed renewable energy in the market, was used.
To model data gaps, an extrapolation approach was used. This is a statistical method that estimates unknown data from existing data using intensity metrics and calculations.
Data provided by energy providers of 11a, Commercial Road was in spend (sterling). Using data available from Ofgem, we were able to apply an assumption of 24.5 pence per kWh to estimate the usage figure.
For our rented space at Regus, Oxford Point, the office management team were unable to provide us with specific energy usage data for the desk space which we occupied. To work around this, Regus were able to provide total electricity consumption (kWh) and total square metres of the whole building, as well as the estimated square metreage of our rented space (7 desks). We then estimated our consumption by dividing the total energy use by the total square metreage of the building, then multiplied this by the square metreage of our space.
Emission factors were sourced from DEFRA 2025, published by the UK Department for Energy Security and Net Zero and AIB 2024 Worldwide Electricity residual mix factors.
As a consequence of the wind down of the business, work towards assessing and responding to the risks and opportunities that climate change presents stopped. This was considered appropriate in view of the wind down and the nature of climate-related events. For this reason, Amigo did not comply with the 2023 TCFD recommendations and has not continued on its path to TCFD compliance.
Under Section 172 of the Companies Act 2006, company directors must act in good faith to promote the success of the business for the benefit of its members as a whole.
In March 2023, the Board decided it was no longer possible to raise the necessary capital. Amigo therefore moved to the "Fallback Solution" — an orderly wind down of the business. At that point, the Board had to prioritise the interests of creditors over shareholders.
When making decisions under Section 172, directors must consider:
relationships with customers, suppliers and others,
the effect on the community and environment,
Amigo takes all of these into account. Our key stakeholders include customers, employees, shareholders, creditors, regulators, brokers, suppliers, the local community and the environment.
Even though the Company is winding down, the Board continues to engage carefully with all stakeholders. The priorities may have changed, but the focus remains on achieving the best possible outcomes — protecting customers, treating staff fairly, and minimising disruption for businesses that depend on us.
• A reduction in our carbon footprint as the business scales down.
• We've built open, effective, and collaborative relationships with partners.
The Group's focus during this period was on optimising recoveries for Scheme creditors while minimising costs, as the wind-down of operations was completed and the Board continued to explore RTO opportunities. The key performance indicators (KPIs) presented in previous years to help assess the Group's progress against its strategy are no longer applicable.
Principal risks are those that could have a major impact on Amigo's performance, objectives, or reputation. We recognise that taking some risk is unavoidable, but we aim to make sure any risks we take are carefully considered, well managed, and supported by controls to reduce their impact if they occur.
Our overall risk profile is regularly reviewed across the business to ensure decisions are consistent with our agreed level of risk appetite. Each principal risk has a defined "appetite" — the amount of risk we are prepared to accept in line with our strategic goals.
Since lending stopped in March 2023, our risk profile has shifted. The main focus was on managing the orderly wind down, carrying out the Scheme of Arrangement, and completing debt sales. We have identified our three current principal risks:

Our principal risks and uncertainties are summarised below.
During wind-down, the focus was on:
Our focus is now on:
Finding and securing the right opportunity for an RTO.
The Company has needed to remain flexible and responsive to internal and external changes during and since the wind-down.
This was to:
Need to ensure funds are available and managed properly to meet obligations under the Scheme.
When preparing these financial statements, the Board reviewed whether the Group and Company could continue as a going concern for at least 12 months from the approval date.
On 23 March 2023, the Board announced that Amigo would implement the Fallback Solution under the Scheme. This required ALL (the Group's only trading subsidiary) to stop lending, enter an orderly wind down, and transfer any surplus cash to Scheme creditors.
Amigo's back book of loans has been run off, sold or written off. Interim and final distributions or Scheme payments have been paid to all Scheme creditors, and almost all of the staff have exited the business since implementation of the Fallback Solution. ALL entered liquidation on 29 September 2025, in line with obligations under the Scheme.
Given the cessation of trading on 23 March 2023, alongside no apparent realistic strategic capital raise or viable alternative solutions, and the requirement dictated by the Scheme to ultimately liquidate ALL (the Amigo Loans Group's sole cash-generating unit), the Board has determined that the financial statements for the period ended 30 September 2025 will be prepared on a basis other than going concern, consistent with the prior period. In making this assessment consideration was given to the potential for the Amigo Holdings PLC to attract a reverse takeover or similar transaction. However, such an outcome, whilst the strategic intention of the Directors, does not have sufficient certainty in either cashflow or ability to trade to change the basis of preparation from that adopted in the period ended 30 September 2025.
IFRS accounting standards have still been applied throughout these statements, based on the conditions in place as of 30 September 2025.
In line with Provision 31 of the UK Corporate Governance Code, the Board assessed the Group's viability.
Following the failed capital raise and end of new lending, the Board confirmed on 23 March 2023 that the Group would move into an orderly solvent wind down. The wind down has now been completed and the subsidiaries placed in liquidation. Amigo's remaining value depends on securing an RTO or other strategic transaction. If no suitable transaction occurs, Amigo may seek shareholder's approval to delist and enter voluntary liquidation, leaving shareholders with no residual value.
In November 2025, Amigo announced that, subject to shareholders' approval, it had secured £1.5 million of new funds. These funds will be used to explore RTO opportunities in the mining sector. As there is no certainty about either raising the new funds and/or securing an RTO, the longer-term viability of Amigo remains uncertain.
The following reports explain how the Board operates both (i) from a governance and control perspective and (ii) in ensuring that Amigo complies with the principles and relevant provisions of the UK Corporate Governance Code.
The Amigo Board continues to take corporate governance extremely seriously. As Amigo evolves, I will continue to ensure that we uphold high standards, appropriate to the size and nature of the business.
This Governance section includes:
the Directors' Report.
In March 2023, we made the difficult decision to move to the Fallback Solution under the Scheme of Arrangement. This required the wind-down of the subsidiary companies. As a result, the Board's priorities shifted towards overseeing the winddown, optimising returns for
Scheme creditors, and exploring transactions that could provide new life for Amigo. Throughout this process, we have maintained a focus on having a well-balanced and effective Board, strong oversight of risk management, and open engagement with all our stakeholders.
During the financial period, the Board continued with a reducing number of members, which was appropriate given our commitment to managing costs. We began and ended the period with two Non-Executive Directors and one Executive Director. In May 2025, Kerry Penfold stepped down as Chief Executive Officer and was succeeded by Nick Beal, our Chief Restructuring Officer, who assumed the CEO and CFO roles in addition to his own. Michael Bartholomeusz also
stepped down as Independent Non-Executive Director in May 2025 and has not been directly replaced. Michael received no additional severance payments, while Kerry received a redundancy payment and was paid in lieu of notice.
In March 2024, Jim McColl was appointed as a strategic consultant to assist in identifying potential RTO opportunities—an option the Board considered to be in the best interests of shareholders. In September 2024, he was appointed as a Non-Executive Director.
I have again been impressed by the professionalism and commitment of all Directors serving on the Board this period.
I would like to thank my fellow Directors, past and present, for their dedication and support during this challenging period for Amigo.

Age: 73 Tenure: 1 year Profile:
Jim was appointed as a Non-Executive Director in September 2024 to help the Board examine potential strategic and RTO opportunities.
Jim is an experienced entrepreneur and investor with a long record in business transformation, growth and restructuring. He is founder, Chairman and CEO of Clyde Blowers Capital, an international industrial investment group. He's previously also held senior roles at Weir Group PLC and Diamond Power Specialty Ltd. He's served on multiple UK and international boards and is widely recognised for his work in engineering and enterprise development.

Michael Bartholomeusz was a Director of the Company during the period until he left on 31 May 2025.
Kerry Penfold was a Director of the Company during the period until 12 May 2025 and left the Group on 31 May 2025.
Amigo is subject to the 2018 UK Corporate Governance Code (the UK Corporate Governance Code), which was issued in 2018 by the Financial Reporting Council and is available at www.frc.org.uk. The UK Corporate Governance Code sets out guidance in the form of principles and provisions on how companies should be directed and controlled to follow good governance practice. Companies listed in the UK are required to disclose how they have applied the main principles and whether they have complied with its provisions throughout the financial year. Where companies have not complied with the provisions, they must provide an explanation. Throughout the period to 30 September 2025, the Company has complied with the provisions set out in the UK Corporate Governance Code, except for the following matters:
Per provision 4, when 20 per cent or more of votes have been cast against the board recommendation for a resolution, the company should explain, when announcing voting results, what actions it intends to take to consult shareholders in order to understand the reasons behind the result and an update of this should be presented in 6 months, with a final summary in the Annual Report.
During the AGM held September 2024, 4 resolutions received 20%+ votes against. The Board did not deem it necessary to consult on these as, given the ongoing wind down, it would not be possible to make any further changes to reflect them. While the Board is aware that this is not in compliance with the Code, the Board respects the Company's shareholders and their right to dissent and felt it would be disingenuous to consult on matters where change at this time, given the Company's position and wind down, would not be possible.
Per provision 5, the board should understand the views of the company's other key stakeholders and describe in the annual report how these and the matters set out in section 172 of the Companies Act 2006 have been considered in board discussions and decision-making. The board should keep engagement mechanisms under review so that they remain effective.
For engagement with the workforce, one or a combination of the following methods should be used:
If the board has not chosen one or more of these methods, it should explain what alternative arrangements are in place and why it considers that they are effective.
The Board has not used one of the prescribed methods for staff engagement. The Group has a relatively small number of staff, almost all of whom are based in Bournemouth. All of the Board regularly attend the offices and speak to a range of staff. Throughout the year, all staff have been subject to a redundancy consultation. There are also regular all-staff calls with the opportunity for staff to raise questions. The Group also has a whistleblowing process to allow staff to raise concerns (including confidentially) to the Board (Non-Executive) whistleblowing champion. The Board believes that these together are effective in meeting its Section 172 obligations to engage with the workforce.
Per provision 12, the board should appoint one of the Independent Non-Executive Directors to be the Senior Independent Director to provide a sounding board for the Chair and serve as an intermediary for the other Directors and shareholders.
The Company appointed Maria Darby-Walker the Senior Independent Director on 6 June 2022. Since Maria resigned on 27 March 2023, the Company has not had a Senior Independent Director. While the Board is aware that this is not in compliance with the Code, it believes that, due to the ongoing wind down of the Group and the small size of the Board, the appointment of a new Senior Independent Director is not required.
Per provisions 21 and 22, the board should carry out a formal and rigorous annual evaluation of the performance of the board, its committees, the chair and individual directors. The chair should consider having a regular externally facilitated board evaluation. In FTSE 350 companies this should happen at least every three years. The chair should act on the results of the board performance review by recognising the strengths and addressing any weaknesses of the board. Each director should engage with the process and take appropriate action when development needs have been identified.
In July 2022, the Company engaged The Corporate Governance Institute of the UK and Ireland to conduct a Board evaluation. Given the ongoing wind down of the Group, the Company did not believe that there was any benefit to be gained from another evaluation this year.
As there was no review this year, no action has been taken based on the results.
Per provision 24, the board should establish an audit committee of independent non-executive directors, with a minimum membership of three, or in the case of smaller companies, two. The chair of the board should not be a member.
The Committee was not in compliance with the relevant provision of the Code. The Board started the period with only three Non-Executive Directors (NEDs), including the Chair of the Board, and once Michael Bartholomeusz resigned, there were only two NEDs, including the Chair. The Board believes that due to the ongoing wind down of the Group, the composition of the Committee is appropriate.
Per provision 25 & 26, the audit committee should monitor and review the effectiveness of the company's internal audit function or, where there is not one, considering annually whether there is a need for one and making a recommendation to the board. Where there is no internal audit function, an explanation for the absence, how internal assurance is achieved, and how this affects the work of external audit.
Due to the ongoing wind down of the Group, the Company does not have an internal audit function. However, the Audit Committee has kept this under close review. Arrangements are in place with PwC (the previous Internal Auditors of the Company) to provide support if required.
Per provision 32, The board should establish a remuneration committee of independent non-executive
directors, with a minimum membership of three, or in the case of smaller companies, two. In addition, the chair of the board can only be a member if they were independent on appointment and cannot chair the committee. Before appointment as chair of the remuneration committee, the appointee should have served on a remuneration committee for at least 12 months.
Since the resignation of Mr Bartholomeusz, Mr Roe has taken effectively been appointed chair of the Committee by virtue of committee meetings being held as part of the Board meetings. While the Board is aware that this is not in compliance with the Code, it believes that, due to the ongoing wind down of the Group and the small size of the Board, the appointment of a Director to serve as Chair of this Committee cannot be justified.
Per provision 36, Remuneration schemes should promote long-term shareholdings by executive directors that support alignment with long-term shareholder interests.
Currently, there are no active or open share incentive schemes.
All existing schemes have been closed as part of the ongoing wind down of the Group. While the Board is aware that this is not in compliance with the Code, its shares are not deemed to contain significant economic or fiscal benefits to achieve the aim of this provision.

Amigo and its subsidiaries were originally established to provide affordable loans to people who could not easily access credit from mainstream lenders. Many of their customers had previously struggled to obtain credit elsewhere.
Our priorities have now changed. In this financial period the Board has been focused on:
The Board is collectively responsible for Amigo's leadership, strategy, oversight, and management. The roles of the Chair and Chief Executive Officer (CEO) are clearly separated and defined.
• The Non-Executive Directors provide independent oversight. They challenge and review the strategies proposed by the Executive Directors, monitor performance against agreed goals and risk appetite, and ensure accurate and comprehensive information is provided to the Board. They also oversee executive pay through the Remuneration Committee and, through the Nomination Committee, review the skills and experience of senior management.
Certain key matters are reserved for full Board approval. These include:
To manage its responsibilities efficiently, the Board has delegated specific areas to its Audit, Risk, Nomination and Remuneration Committees.
There was an Executive Committee (ExCo), made up of Executive Directors and senior managers. ExCo handled day-to-day operations and met formally each month. As part of the wind-down the ExCo was disbanded in May 2025.
The Board typically meets around ten times a year, aligned with key points in the financial calendar. Meetings have covered progress on the wind down and Scheme of Arrangement, financial performance, compliance, risk, complaints data, and strategic opportunities such as an RTO. Where necessary, functional heads attend meetings to present reports and answer questions. Following appointment of the liquidators of Amigo's subsidiaries in September 2025 the Board's focus has been on strategic RTO opportunities.
Between scheduled meetings, Directors remain in frequent contact, and additional meetings are arranged at short notice when required. Meetings have normally been held in person, though recently most have been conducted online, due to timing or logistics. Directors unable to attend are consulted in advance and invited to provide comments.
Board papers are circulated about a week before each meeting, providing time for review. These include management accounts, governance updates and regulatory reports. The Chair also holds informal meetings with the Non-Executive Directors without the Executives present.
The Board is responsible for confirming that this Annual Report, taken as a whole, is fair, balanced and understandable, enabling shareholders to assess the Group's performance, business model and strategy. In doing so, it draws on input from the Audit and Risk Committees and senior management, who review the content in detail.
Annual results are approved at the Annual General Meeting (AGM).
In line with the UK Corporate Governance Code, the Board normally carries out an annual evaluation of its performance and that of its Committees and individual Directors. Given the reduced size of the Board during wind down, a formal review was not undertaken this period. Instead, effectiveness was monitored through ongoing discussion and feedback.
Directors are responsible for maintaining up-to-date knowledge of the Group and relevant regulation. Training needs are reviewed regularly, and updates on governance, financial reporting and regulation have been provided through briefing papers and, where necessary, external sessions with advisers.
New Directors receive an induction covering the Group's operations, policies and governance. Directors may obtain independent professional advice at the Company's expense and have access to the Company Secretary. Directors' and Officers' liability insurance was maintained throughout the period.
All Directors completed mandatory e-learning modules covering regulatory standards, culture, antibribery, anti-money laundering, data protection, cybersecurity, and related topics.
At period-end, the Board comprised:
Independent Non-Executive Director, Michael Bartholomeusz stepped down and was not replaced.
The Board's approach to diversity is set out in the Nomination Committee Report (page 28). Broader workforce diversity initiatives are described on page 9.
As of 30 September 2025, men represented 100% of the Board (none of the members, self-identified), and no members identified as being from a minority ethnic background. Given the Company's winddown, the Board considers it impractical to pursue gender or ethnic diversity targets at this stage.
The tables below show Amigo's ethnic and gender make-up as at 30 September 2025 (according to the FCA's requirements on Diversity, Equity and Inclusion).
| Gender | No of board members |

After careful review, the Board is satisfied that both Non-Executive Directors met the independence requirements of the UK Corporate Governance Code when they were appointed and continue to do so.
Jonathan Roe was independent at the time of his appointment, having never been employed by Amigo and holding a range of external interests. The Board considers that he has remained independent throughout his time as Chair.
Before joining the Board, Jim McColl was appointed as a Board advisor on potential RTO opportunities. The Board is satisfied that this did not affect his independence and that he has remained fully independent as a Director.
All Directors are required to disclose any significant external commitments before joining the Board and to update the Board if their circumstances change. The Board is satisfied that both Non-Executive Directors devote sufficient time to their duties and continue to meet their responsibilities to Amigo.
Under the Company's Articles of Association, the Board must approve any potential conflicts of interest. During the period, a small number of possible conflicts were considered in relation to Directors' own remuneration arrangements. In each case, the Director concerned did not take part in the discussion or decision about their own position.
Directors are also reminded that they must promptly inform the Board of any potential conflict linked to a proposed transaction or business activity.
The Board operates a clear framework for internal control and risk management. This includes:
The Board is committed to keeping shareholders informed about Amigo's performance and ensuring that their views are understood.
Communication takes a range of forms. The Company Secretary maintains contact with shareholders, most of whom are retail investors who hold their shares through large platforms such as Hargreaves Lansdown, Interactive Investor and Halifax Share Dealing.
Investor presentations prepared for results announcements are published on the Company's website and are designed to be accessible to all shareholders. The Board receives feedback from meetings held between the Executive Director and investors.
The Chair and other Board members are available to shareholders who wish to raise governance concerns through channels other than the Executive Director.
Recognising that a large proportion of Amigo's shares are held by retail investors, the Board has engaged directly with shareholder groups and worked to make company communications clear, transparent and easy to understand.
Amigo will hold its sixth AGM in January 2026. Notice of the AGM will be sent to shareholders at least 14 days before the meeting. All substantive items of business at shareholders' meetings are dealt with under separate resolutions, including a resolution to receive the Annual Report and Accounts. Shareholders will be able to submit individual questions as part of the AGM process.
There is a dedicated investor relations section on the Group website (www.amigoplc.com). All Company announcements and slides used for presentations to investors are available at this address. Queries from investors should be sent by email to [email protected].
The Board has delegated specific responsibilities to standing Committees, details of which are set out below. Doing this allows its members to focus on the key areas for which they are individually accountable. However, given the size of the Board, all committees now meet as part of Board meetings. The Board has approved the formal terms of reference for the Audit Committee, Nomination Committee, Risk Committee, and Remuneration Committee, which are available on request or to download from the Group's website.
The Group also has a Disclosure Committee, which is responsible for managing the disclosure of information by the Group in compliance with its obligations under the Market Abuse Regulation, the Financial Conduct Authority's Listing Rules, and the Disclosure Guidance and Transparency Rules. The Disclosure Committee is comprised of the members of the Board and other senior managers, if appropriate, but due to the time pressures associated with considering such disclosure matters, may at times not include all Directors. Given the small size of the Board, all matters covered by the Disclosure Committee were dealt with by ad hoc Board meetings.

I am pleased to present the Audit Committee Report. The Committee is responsible for monitoring the accuracy of the Group's financial reporting, reviewing internal controls, and overseeing both the internal and external audit processes, along with other governance matters.
In previous years, the Committee also oversaw the Internal Audit function, provided by PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP (PwC). As the business is now in wind-down, this function was not needed during the period, although PwC remained available to assist if required. Internal assurance work was instead carried out by the Risk and Compliance teams.
This period, the Committee focused on key areas of financial reporting, including the Group's Interim and Annual Reports, loan book impairment, Scheme and restructuring provisions, and the going concern and viability statements.
The Committee continues to monitor Amigo's financial position and performance, ensuring that all reporting is fair, balanced, and understandable.
I would like to thank the Committee members and contributors for their hard work and commitment over the last eighteen months.
During the financial period, the Committee was made up Michael Bartholomeusz who was Chair until he stepped down as Director in May 2025. Jonathan Roe succeeded him as Chair and was joined by Jim McColl from May 2025.
Given the Company's circumstances, the Board has not been able to meet all the requirements of the UK Corporate Governance Code, which recommends separate Chairs for the Audit and Risk Committees. At present, Jonathan chairs both Committees and also serves as Chair of the Board.
The Board has considered all Committee members to be independent.
Given the small size of the Board, the Audit Committee meetings have largely been integrated into Board meetings.
The principal duties of the Audit Committee were to:
make sure outcomes from investigations are handled fairly and proportionately.
The Committee also receives regular updates on changes in regulation, accounting standards and reporting requirements, and how these apply to Amigo.
The Committee met three times during the period. Meetings were attended by the CEO and other senior executives, including the Company Secretary. The external auditor joined meetings when financial reporting matters were discussed.
The Committee also held private discussions with the external auditor, without management present. Between meetings, the Chair stayed in regular contact with the auditors to discuss any issues relevant to Amigo.
The Committee's terms of reference are available on Amigo's website and are reviewed annually to ensure they remain up to date. Since 30 September 2025, the Committee's main focus has been to review the external audit of the Annual Report and Accounts for the 18 months to 30 September 2025 and recommend these for Board approval.

Maintenance of the Board with the appropriate skill set to manage the wind down of the business.
I am pleased to present the Nomination Committee Report for 2024/25. The Committee's main focus has been to ensure that the size, structure and composition of the Board remain appropriate for Amigo's current circumstances and strategic objectives.
As the wind down of subsidiary businesses has completed and resources have reduced, the size of the Board has also remained small. Given this, much of the Committee's work has been incorporated into regular Board meetings.
I continued as Chair of the Nomination Committee during the period.
Other members were Michael Bartholomeusz, until his resignation at the end of May 2025, when Jim McColl joined the Committee.
All members were considered independent. I would like to thank my colleagues and members of the Committee for their hard work and commitment over the last eighteen months.
The Committee's key duties include:
Identifying, assessing and recommending candidates for Board appointments.
The Committee met twice during the period. Its main activities included:
Succession planning, right-sizing management, and maintaining the appropriate skills mix have remained key priorities as the wind down concluded and potential RTO opportunities are explored.
In line with the UK Corporate Governance Code, all Directors will stand for re-election at this year's AGM.
Amigo is committed to equality and inclusion and does not discriminate on any basis. The Board believes diversity brings broader perspectives and better decision-making.
Before the wind down, active efforts were made to improve gender and ethnic diversity at both Board and senior management levels, achieving strong progress toward listed company targets. However, with a reduced three-member Board, it is not currently possible to meet those targets.
The Board remains committed to promoting diversity of thought, experience and background wherever practicable.

As relevant to wind down:
I am pleased to present the Risk Committee Report. The Committee's main role is to oversee and advise the Board on how Amigo identifies and manages risk across the business.
During the period, the Committee has focused on ensuring that the Group maintains an appropriate risk culture as the historic lending business wound down. It has continued to monitor key risks and reviewed the risk appetite statement, which was updated and approved by the Board.
Alongside the Audit Committee, it closely monitored liquidity, ensuring the Group maintained a strong cash position — ending the period with £0.7 million in unrestricted cash.
Given the smaller scale of operations during the wind down, much of the Committee's work has been discussed at regular Board meetings.
I would like to thank my colleagues and all contributors for their commitment and hard work over the past eighteen months.
The Committee has assisted the Board in overseeing risk management at Amigo. It has focused on the Group's risk appetite, risk profile, and the effectiveness of internal controls and risk management systems, ensuring they work well for both the business and its stakeholders.
Michael Bartholomeusz served as Chair until his resignation as Director on 31 May 2025. Jonathan Roe (a member throughout the period) succeeded him as Chair, and Jim McColl joined the Committee from 1 June 2025.
The Committee met three times during the period. Senior executives, including the CEO, attended all meetings, with other relevant parties invited as needed.
Attendance details are shown in the table on this page.
The Board retains overall responsibility for risk management but delegates day-to-day oversight to the Risk Committee.
The Committee's key responsibilities include:
Throughout the period, the Committee reviewed major financial, operational and compliance risks, reassessing and confirming the Group's principal risks (see pages 14-15).
Key areas of focus included:

Maintaining appropriate remuneration levels for the senior executives during the orderly wind down of the lending business.
I am pleased to present the Remuneration Committee Report for the financial period ended 30 September 2025.
The Committee is responsible for overseeing how Directors and senior managers are paid, ensuring our remuneration policies remain appropriate for the Group's situation. This includes setting and reviewing the Directors' Remuneration Policy, monitoring senior management pay, and ensuring our approach is fair, transparent and aligned with Amigo's objectives as it continues its wind down.
This report includes:
The report follows the requirements of the Companies Act 2006, the UK Listing Rules, and other relevant regulations, with the audited
disclosures cross-referenced in the Auditor's Report on pages 53-58.
Over the past period, Amigo has continued to focus on meeting its Scheme of Arrangement obligations, managing the orderly wind down of its lending business, and exploring strategic options, including a potential RTO.
Entering the Scheme's "Fallback Solution" in March 2023 marked a key turning point, as the company shifted fully from lending to winding down operations. As a result, both the size of the business and the number of employees have continued to fall.
Jim McColl joined the Board on 1 September 2024. Michael Bartholomeusz stepped down as Independent Non-Executive Director on 12 May 2025.
Kerry Penfold also stepped down as Executive Director on 12 May 2025 and left the business on 31 May 2025. She had performed the dual role of CEO and CFO since 1 January 2024.
She is succeeded by Nick Beal, who is took on her roles in addition to his own as Chief Restructuring Officer and Company Secretary.
Their respective remuneration terms were determined in line with Amigo's approved Directors' Remuneration Policy.
The Committee applied the Remuneration Policy within the context of Amigo's financial position and ongoing wind down.
When considering senior appointments, we were mindful that Amigo's circumstances limit the pool of qualified and willing candidates. The roles carry significant regulatory and reputational risk, which had to be balanced against the need to maintain an appropriately skilled leadership team.
During the period, the Committee also reviewed pay arrangements below Board level, recognising the contribution of remaining staff in delivering the Scheme. A 5% cost-of-living payment was made to all employees below Executive Committee level.
No long-term incentive plan (LTIP) awards were granted to Executive Directors during the period.
Although the Policy allows for potential annual bonuses of up to 150% of salary for Executive Directors, the Committee and Board agreed that no bonuses would be paid while the Company remains in wind down (except to compensate directors for not receiving a salary increase during the time that the FCA had restricted salary increases for Directors).
When Kerry Penfold assumed the dual role of CEO and CFO in January 2025, she did not receive any increase in salary. Her remuneration remained at the same level as when she served solely as CFO until she left the business in May 2025.
Nick's salary was increased from July 2025 to the same level as Kerry had been paid.
The Board continues to ensure that Director remuneration reflects the reduced scale of the business.
From 1 April 2023, my own annual fee as Chair reduced from £175,000 to £90,000, and Michael Bartholomeusz's fee as Non-Executive Director reduced from £94,500 to £60,000. Jim was also paid £90,000 per annum from the time he joined as a Non-Executive director until April 2025 and since that time his salary at the same level has been rolling up but unpaid.
The revised contracts include an allowance for additional payments if the time required for Board duties exceeds an agreed number of days per quarter.
These changes have reduced overall Director costs and better align remuneration with Amigo's smaller size and ongoing obligations under the Scheme.
The current Directors' Remuneration Policy, approved by shareholders at the 2022 AGM, remains in force. The UK Companies Act requires us to seek re-approval of our Directors' Remuneration Policy every three years. Our current Directors' Remuneration Policy was approved by shareholders at the Company's AGM in 2022. We are required to seek re-approval of our Remuneration Policy at our next AGM. If an RTO is completed there will need to be a completely new Remuneration Policy specific to the new business. Given limited resources, the Committee and Board agreed not to commission external remuneration consultants for a new policy at this stage. Therefore, we are proposing to ask shareholders to re-approve the current Remuneration Policy (without amendment).
Shareholders will be invited to vote on this year's Directors' Remuneration Report and Remuneration Policy at the next AGM, to be held in early 2026.
The Committee believes the remuneration decisions made this period are fair, responsible and proportionate to the Company's position. They reflect our commitment to maintaining good governance and retaining essential leadership during the final stages of the wind down.
We are happy to receive feedback from shareholders at any time regarding our remuneration policies, and we hope to receive your support for the resolutions referred to above at our forthcoming AGM. I will be available at the AGM to answer any questions.
I hope that you find the report informative and that it provides a clear rationale for the Committee's decisions.
Chair of the Remuneration Committee
12 December 2025
Jonathan Roe remained as Committee Chair throughout the financial period. Michael Bartholomeusz stepped down from the Committee, along with his other responsibilities as Non-Executive Director, at the end of May 2025. He was replaced on the Committee by Jim McColl from 1 June 2025.
There were two Committee meetings held during the financial period; details of attendance are shown in the table on page 30. All members who served on the Committee in the financial period are considered to be independent for the purposes of the UK Corporate Governance Code. The Company Secretary generally acts as secretary to the Committee, unless a personal conflict of interest is apparent.
During the financial period, the Committee has:
During the period, the Committee has been supported by the Chief People Officer (until she was made redundant in June 2024), the Company Secretary, and the CEO. The CEO also occasionally attended Committee meetings at the request of the Committee but was not present during discussion about their own remuneration. In carrying out its responsibilities, the Committee is authorised to obtain the advice of external independent remuneration consultants and is solely responsible for their appointment, retention and termination.
The following table sets out the total remuneration for Executive Directors for the 18-month financial period (18 month FP) to 30 September 2025, with comparisons to the previous year.

1 This represents cash paid or receivable in respect of the period and includes payment in lieu of notice where applicable.
Kerry Penfold stepped down as Executive Director on 12 May 2025 and left the Group on 31 May 2025. She was paid in lieu of notice. Before this, according to the Policy, Kerry's contracted maximum annual bonus opportunity was 60% of salary. However, in light of the challenging financial situation, the Board agreed that no bonus would be payable.
This represents the value, grossed up for tax, of all benefits paid or receivable in respect of the period, including accommodation costs, use of hotels, etc.
3 This represents pension contributions paid by the Group on behalf of the individual, not including payments in lieu of pension. Salary in lieu of pension, included in the base salary line, was paid for Danny Malone (£ nil; 2024 was £13,312).
4 Kerry Penfold was appointed as a Director of the Company on 23 September 2022 and ceased to be a Director of the Company on 12 May 2025 before she left the Group on 31 May 2025.
5 Danny Malone was appointed as a Director of the Company on 6 June 2022 and ceased to be a Director of the Company on 31 December 2023, his employment having terminated after resignation. Danny both served and worked his contractual notice period.
Following her departure, Nick Beal assumed her roles in addition to his own and from July 2025 was on the same annual basic salary as Kerry (£220,000). In accordance with the Policy, Nick receives a pension contribution of 5% of basic salary and standard benefits. Like Kerry's, Nick's maximum annual bonus opportunity is 60% of salary. Again, in light of the challenging financial situation and the switch to the Fallback Solution under the Scheme, the Board agreed that no bonus will be payable, except that referred to in 1.8 below.
Benefits include payments made in relation to life assurance.
Pension payments represent contributions made either to defined contribution pension schemes or as a cash allowance. The CEO and CFO are entitled to receive a contribution of 5% of base salary in alignment with the broader UK employee population, and/or cash in lieu in the event of contributions in excess of agreed HMRC contribution rates or lifetime allowance. The amounts actually received by the CEO and CFO during the financial period are set out in section 1.4 above. No Director is entitled to a guaranteed pension in the event of severance or early retirement.
No bonus was considered for Kerry Penfold for the period of her employment. A bonus of £75,000 was paid to Nick Beal to compensate him for not receiving a salary increase during the time that the FCA had restricted salary increases for Directors. Further details of the bonus scheme are set out on page 40.
All financial performance targets were withdrawn in 2022 and not reinstated, given the changes in personnel and the wind down of the lending businesses over the review period. Until July 2024, the Group operated from a small office in Bournemouth. At that point, it downsized further into a serviced office. This was relinquished in May 2025. Since then, all staff have worked from home. The Board does not consider Amigo's activities to be highly carbon-intensive, given its working from home requirement and largely e-comms-driven communication strategy. The Committee, therefore, does not believe it is beneficial to include an environmental impact benchmark as a remuneration metric.
No awards of LTIP were made in the financial period to Executive Directors.

| Individual | 10% | n/a |
| Total | 100% | n/a |
These schemes were withdrawn in 2023. No Director participated in either the SAYE or SIP during the financial period.
The Committee believes it is important that the interests of Executive Directors align with those of Amigo's shareholders. In the past, Executive Directors have been encouraged to build up and retain shares with a value equal to 200% of their annual base salary. However, this has not been asked of them this financial period due to the Group's financial position.
These figures include those of their spouse or civil partner and infant children or stepchildren, as required by section 822 of the Companies Act 2006. The shareholdings guideline for the CEO and CFO is 200% of base salary. Under the Remuneration Policy, each Executive Director has five years to meet the shareholding guideline threshold.
Amigo recognises that its Executive Directors may be invited to become Non-Executive Directors of other companies. Such non-executive duties can broaden experience and knowledge, benefiting Amigo. Subject to its approval, the Board permits Executive Directors to accept non-executive appointments and retain the associated fees, provided these appointments are unlikely to give rise to conflicts of interest.
No payments were made to former Directors during the financial period.
Amigo made no payments within the scope of the disclosure requirement to any past Director of Amigo during the financial period; we have no de minimis threshold for such disclosures.
Contracts for Directors clearly lay out the responsibilities of the Directors to the Group, specific areas of expertise required to be demonstrated and the terms of their contractual entitlement. The contracts will include details of specific performance objectives, if appropriate, at the time of appointment.
Due to the specific challenges facing the Group when it appointed the current CEO, the Committee did not deem it appropriate to include specific corporate performance objectives other than working to further the long-term interests of stakeholders.
Notice periods are set at a period appropriate to the function and the need to maintain consistency for top-level leadership across the Group. The Committee will not likely issue a service contract with more than twelve months' notice. The employment contract for Nick Beal provided a notice period of six months from Amigo Management Services Limited (AMSL), the employing entity within the Group, or from the individual to AMSL. AMSL (before it appointed liquidators) gave Nick Beal notice effective from 30 November 2025.
Executive Directors' service contracts allow for termination with contractual notice from the AMSL or termination by payment in lieu of notice. Payment in lieu of notice is limited to base salary for the notice period. There is no contractual entitlement to bonus or LTIP awards in respect of the notice period. Nick has been paid a contractual payment in lieu of notice for the period from 30 November 2025.
Copies of service contracts are available for inspection at the Company's Registered Office.
Non-Executive Director appointments are for three years, subject to annual review and notice. All Directors are required to seek annual re-election by shareholders at the Company's AGM.
Non-Executive Directors are not entitled to compensation for leaving the Board of Directors.
Copies of service contracts are available for inspection at the Registered Office.
| Director | Term of service |
|---|---|
| Jonathan Roe | 3 months |
| Jim McColl | 3 months |
| Nick Beal | 6 months |
All Directors have rolling service contracts, so their term continues unless notice has been given.
When making decisions about executive pay, the Committee considers pay and conditions across the wider workforce.
No performance-related bonus payments have been made to the wider workforce during the financial period. Where appropriate, additional payments have been made in recognition of the increased cost of living and redundancy.
The Committee values the views of all shareholders and aims to keep an open dialogue on pay matters. The Committee welcomes any feedback from our shareholders on remuneration matters.
From 1 April 2023, the remuneration for the then remaining Non-Executive Directors was changed to reflect the wind down of the lending business. The basic remuneration for Jonathan Roe was reduced from £175,000 per annum to £90,000. Jonathan will be paid up to £1,500 per day for each day worked in excess of 22.5 days per quarter, up to a total maximum Director fee of £175,000 p.a. The basic remuneration for Michael Bartholomeusz reduced from £94,500 p.a. (being £70,000 basic remuneration, £12,500 for Chairing the Risk Committee and £12,000 for acting as interim Chair of the Audit Committee) to £60,000 per annum. Michael was paid up to £1,500 per day for each worked in excess of 10 days per quarter, up to a maximum total Director fee of £94,500 p.a. Jim McColl was appointed on 1 June 2024 on basic remuneration of £90,000 pa. However, since 1 May 2025, Jim's director fees (£37,500) have been rolled up.

There was no change in these beneficial interests between 30 September 2025 and 11 December 2025. Non-Executive Directors are not given a shareholding guideline, but they are encouraged to hold shares in the Company.

1. For 18-month FP to 30/9/25 figures relate to holding company only which has no employees.
Amigo's move into the Fallback Solution under the Scheme of Arrangement and the decision to stop lending made the Committee's work particularly challenging this financial period.
The current Remuneration Policy was approved in September 2022. It was based on the expectation that the business would secure new funding, complete all the requirements of the Scheme, gain approval for the RewardRate product, raise fresh capital, and resolve the FCA's enforcement action.
At that time, the Committee recognised that if these goals were not met, actual pay levels would be significantly lower than the maximums allowed under the Policy.
When Amigo entered the Fallback Solution, the Committee decided not to revise the Policy formally. However, Committee members agreed that no bonuses would be paid to Executive Directors (except that referred to in 1.8 above). Given the Company's circumstances, no performance measures were applied or reviewed during the financial period.
The Remuneration Committee believes that using a scorecard approach to set targets and measure performance gives the clearest and most transparent way to explain pay decisions to shareholders and employees. This approach also keeps our pay structure straightforward, following the main features of the 2022 policy: a marketaligned fixed salary, an annual cash bonus, and three-year performance share awards with post-vesting holding periods where appropriate.
We manage risk through a mix of clear performance targets, the Committee's discretion to review and adjust outcomes where necessary, and strong malus and clawback provisions built into the policy.
The table below sets out the details of how we propose to implement the Executive Directors' Remuneration Policy in 2025/26 in the context of Amigo being a cash entity
Unless otherwise stated, the implementation of each element will be in line with the Policy.
There are currently only two Non-Executive Directors (one of whom is the Chair of the Board).
| Summary of Policy Implementation in 2025/26 |
|---|
| CEO: £355,000 |
| Kerry Penfold received no additional remuneration for her role as CEO. Her basic salary as CFO was |
| £220,000. |
| Having succeeded her on 12 May 2025, Nick Beal is remunerated at the same rate of £220,000 pa. |
| Maximum: |
| • CEO: 60% of salary but agreed as 0% whilst the Amigo lending business is a cash entity |
| • CFO: 60% of salary but agreed as 0% whilst the Amigo lending business is a cash entity |
| Performance measures and weightings: |
| • 50% Group financial |
| • 15% Group customer and conduct |
| • 15% people and culture |
| • 10% Group strategic |
| • 10% individual |
| Bonus pay-outs will be subject to satisfactory Company and regulatory performance over the period. Targets will be disclosed retrospectively. |
| Element | Summary of Policy Implementation in 2025/26 |
|---|---|
| Long-term | Maximum (in line with Policy): |
| incentive | The Committee has yet to determine the targets for 2025/26 as no awards of LTIP are anticipated whilst the Amigo remains a cash entity. |
| Pension | 5% defined contribution pension and/or cash in lieu. |
| Benefits | Private medical insurance (individual and family), life insurance (death in service) of 4x basic salary and income protection, in event of incapacity, up to 66% of base salary, after 13 weeks, for the lesser of five years or state statutory pension age. |
Other key Policy features: shareholding guidelines and post-exit shareholding requirements will operate in 2025/26 as per the Remuneration Policy.
The table below sets out the details of how we propose to remunerate the Non-Executive Directors in 2025/26:
| NED fees | |

The following tables summarise Amigo Holdings PLC's policies in respect of the key elements of our Directors' remuneration. The UK Companies Act requires us to seek re-approval of our Directors' Remuneration Policy every three years. Our current Directors' Remuneration Policy was approved by shareholders at the Company's AGM in 2022. We are required to seek re-approval of our Remuneration Policy at our next AGM (to be held in early 2026). If an RTO is completed, there will need to be completely new Remuneration Policy appropriate for the new business. Therefore, the Directors are proposing to ask shareholders to re-approve the current Remuneration Policy (without amendment except where required due to change in the Listing Rules).

A6.1.1: Benefits are determined by taking into account the circumstances of the individual and benefits considering the individual's circumstances and those provided to the rest of the executive team and the wider Group.
A6.1.2: The Committee retains the discretion to add or remove benefits from the current benefits in operation as it considers appropriate (e.g. to include relocation payments).
A6.2.1: There is no limit to the value of benefits provided. The value is dependent on the cost to the Company of providing the benefit.
A7.1: Executive Directors will be expected to retain an appropriate proportion of shares that vest following the exercise of equity incentives until an amount equal to 200% of salary has been achieved. The Committee has the ability to waive this requirement if the circumstances are such that the requirement to meet this level of shareholding would act as a disincentive.
A8.1: Two-year post-cessation shareholding requirement of up to 200% of salary for all Executive Directors. If lower than that level of shareholding at the time of leaving, the Company will apply that level.
A9.1: Each year, the Committee carefully considers the performance metrics that should apply to incentives.
A9.2: For the annual bonus, the Committee considers that a combination of Group financial, customer, people and culture, group strategic, and individual measures is most appropriate for assessing performance over the short to medium term. The Committee will take into account poor behaviours inadvertently caused by performance metrics in relation to ESG and TCFD activities.
A9.3: Performance measures for the LTIP are selected to provide a robust and transparent basis to measure the Group's performance, demonstrably link remuneration outcomes to delivery of the business strategy over the longer term, and provide strong alignment between senior management and shareholders.
When setting performance targets for the annual bonus and LTIP, the Committee will consider several reference points, including the Group's business plans and strategy, external forecasts and the wider economic environment.
The Committee retains the discretion to amend the bonus pay-out and to reduce the LTIP vesting level if any formulaic outcome is not reflective of the Committee's assessment of overall business performance over the relevant performance period.
The Remuneration Committee operates the annual bonus and LTIP according to the rules of each respective plan, which, consistent with market practice, include discretion in a number of respects in relation to the operation of each plan. Discretions include:
All assessments of performance are ultimately subject to the Committee's judgement. Any discretion exercised will be disclosed along with the rationale in the annual remuneration report.
Both the annual bonus plan and the LTIP include provisions which enable the Committee to recover or withhold value from these incentive plans in the event of certain defined circumstances (i.e. a material misstatement of the Company's financial results, an error of calculation (including on account of inaccurate or misleading information) or in the event of serious misconduct, serious reputational damage or corporate failure).
For the avoidance of doubt, in approving this Remuneration Policy, the Company is authorised to honour any previous commitments entered into with current or former Directors (such as the payment of a pension or the unwinding of legacy share schemes or historic share awards granted before the approval of this policy) that remain outstanding.
A9.5: The Remuneration Policy will be effective from the date of the AGM, if the policy is approved.

The Company was incorporated and registered in England and Wales on 24 February 2016 as a private company limited by shares under the Companies Act 2006 with the name Amigo Holdings Limited and with the registered number 10024479.
On 8 June 2018, the Company re-registered as a public company under the name Amigo Holdings PLC. The Company is listed on the Equity Shares (Commercial Companies) Category of the Official List (LON: AMGO). The Company's principal activity was to act as a holding company for the Amigo Loans Group of companies.
The Company has no branches outside the UK at the balance sheet date.
The purpose of this Annual Report is to provide information to the members of the Company and it has been prepared for, and only for, the members of the Company as a body and no other persons. The Company, its Directors and employees, agents and advisors do not accept or assume responsibility to any other person to whom this document is shown or into whose hands it may come, and any such responsibility or liability is expressly disclaimed.
A cautionary statement in respect of forward-looking statements contained in this Annual Report is set out on page 7.
The results for the financial period are set out in the financial statements on pages 59 to 62.
The Company did not pay a half-year dividend in the period (2023: nil). Given the 23 March 2023 announcement that the Group was in wind down, the Board decided that it was appropriate not to recommend the payment of a final dividend.
Given the announcement on 23 March 2023 that the Group is in wind down, the Directors are of the view that no dividend can be paid.
On 27 October 2025, Amigo announced that it had appointed Craig Ransley as a Board consultant to assist the Board in identifying and pursuing a reverse takeover in the mining sector.
Under Craig's consultancy agreement, Amigo agreed that if Craig successfully introduced investors that irrevocably agreed to subscribe for a £1.5 million capital raise, then Amigo would pay Craig a fee of £200,000. Craig agreed to use the fee to subscribe for 57,035,200 Amigo new ordinary shares of 0.25p each fully paid (Fee Shares) at an issue price of 0.3507p per Fee Share.
On 14 November 2025, Amigo announced that Craig had successfully introduced investors that irrevocably agreed to subscribed for up to £1.5 million of unlisted convertible loan notes. Therefore, Amigo paid the £200,000 to Craig who used that to subscribe for the Fee Shares.
On 14 November 2025, Amigo announced that institutional investors had irrevocably agreed to subscribe for up to £1.5 million of unlisted convertible loan notes. The Loan Notes are convertible at a price of 0.3p per Amigo new ordinary shares of 0.25p each fully paid into a maximum of 500,000,000 Amigo new ordinary shares of 0.25p each fully paid (Conversion Shares). The subscription for the Loan Notes is subject only to approval by shareholders at a General Meeting. The Loan Notes are mandatorily convertible by Amigo in two tranches:
On 26 November 2025 Amigo announced that it will enable existing shareholders to participate and buy new ordinary shares in the capital raise at the same price as the Loan Notes through the Winterflood Retail Access Platform to raise up to £188,100 subject also to approval by shareholders at a General Meeting.
On 26 November 2025, Amigo announced that it will hold a general meeting to consider and vote on a resolution relating to the above proposals on 19 December 2025.

The Company seeks to engender a culture responsive to its shareholders' views. The Chairs of each of the Board Committees would also expect to engage with shareholders on significant matters related to their areas of responsibility, if appropriate.
Save as outlined above, there are no specific restrictions on the transfer of the Company's shares. However, pursuant to the Articles of Association, the Board has the discretion to refuse to register any transfer of shares that is not fully paid. This discretion may not be exercised in a way that the FCA or the London Stock Exchange regards as preventing dealings in the relevant share classes from taking place on an open and proper basis.
The Board may also refuse to register a transfer where the instrument of transfer is: (i) in favour of more than four persons jointly; (ii) not left at the registered office of the Company, or at such other place as the Board may from time to time determine, accompanied by the certificate(s) of the shares to which the instrument relates and such other evidence as the Directors may reasonably require to show the right of the transferor to make the transfer; and (iii) the instrument of transfer is in respect of more than one class of share. In addition, pursuant to the Listing Rules, the Directors of the Company and persons discharging managerial responsibility are required to obtain prior approval from the Company to deal in the Company's securities. They are prohibited from dealing during close periods.
On a poll, votes may be given personally or by proxy. Subject to any rights or restrictions attached to any class or classes of shares and to any other provisions of the Articles of Association: if a vote is taken on a show of hands, every member or proxy present in person shall have one vote; and if a vote is taken on a poll, every member present in person or by proxy shall have one vote for each share held by him. All resolutions put to the members at electronic general meetings will be voted on by a poll. All resolutions put to the members at a physical general meeting will be voted on a show of hands unless a poll is demanded: by the Chair of the meeting or by at least five members present in person or by proxy and having the right to vote on the resolution; or by any member or members present in person or by proxy and representing not less than one-tenth of the total voting rights of all the members having the right to vote on the resolution; or by a member or members present in person or by proxy holding shares in the Company conferring a right to vote on the resolution being shares on which an aggregate sum has been paid up equal to not less than one-tenth of the total sum paid up on all shares conferring that right.

The Company is permitted, pursuant to the terms of its Articles of Association, to purchase its own shares subject to shareholders' approval. At the AGM on 30 September 2024, shareholders authorised the Company to make market purchases of up to 10% of its ordinary shares. This authority will expire on 30 December 2025. Except for the purchase of the deferred shares for a nominal sum, the Company did not repurchase any of its shares during the financial year 2023/24.
The Company is permitted, pursuant to the terms of its Articles of Association, to allot, grant options over, offer or otherwise deal with or dispose of shares in the Company to such persons at such times and generally on such terms and conditions as they may determine.

This authority will expire on 30 December 2025.
In autumn 2019, the Company implemented a Company-wide Share Incentive Plan (SIP) and a Save As You Earn scheme (SAYE). The Company also had a Long Term Incentive Plan (LTIP) and Deferred Bonus Plan (DBP) for certain employees. The SIP and SAYE were both wound up before the start of this financial period.

The Directors are responsible for keeping adequate accounting records that are sufficient to show and explain the parent company's transactions and disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the parent company and enable them to ensure that its financial statements comply with the Companies Act 2006. They are responsible for such internal control as they determine is necessary to enable the preparation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and have general responsibility for taking such steps as are reasonably open to them to safeguard the assets of the Group and to prevent and detect fraud and other irregularities.
Under applicable law and regulations, the Directors are also responsible for preparing a Strategic Report, Directors' Report, Directors' Remuneration Report and Corporate Governance Statement that comply with that law and those regulations.
The Directors are responsible for the maintenance and integrity of the corporate and financial information included on the Company's website. Legislation in the UK governing the preparation and dissemination of financial statements may differ from legislation in other jurisdictions.
We confirm that to the best of our knowledge:
We consider the Annual Report and Accounts, taken as a whole, is fair, balanced and understandable and provides the information necessary for shareholders to assess the Group's position and performance, business model and strategy.

For the purpose of this report, the terms "we" and "our" denote MHA in relation to UK legal, professional and regulatory responsibilities and reporting obligations to the members of Amigo Holdings PLC. For the purposes of the table on pages 54 to 55 that sets out the key audit matters and how our audit addressed the key audit matters, the terms "we" and "our" refer to MHA. The "Company" is defined as Amigo Holdings PLC, as an individual entity. The relevant legislation governing the Company is the United Kingdom Companies Act 2006 ("Companies Act 2006").
We have audited the financial statements of Amigo Holdings PLC for the period from 1 April 2024 to 30 September 2025.
The financial statements that we have audited comprise:
The financial reporting framework that has been applied in the preparation of the Company's financial statements is applicable law and International Financial Reporting Standards as adopted by the UK ("IFRS").
In our opinion the financial statements:
Our opinion is consistent with our reporting to the Audit Committee.
We conducted our audit in accordance with International Standards on Auditing (UK) (ISAs (UK)) and applicable law. Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditors Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial Statements section of our report. We are independent of the Company in accordance with the ethical requirements that are relevant to our audit of the financial statements in the UK, including the FRC's Ethical Standard as applied to listed public interest entities, and we have fulfilled our ethical responsibilities in accordance with those requirements. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.
We draw attention to Note 1 to the financial statements, which explains that the Directors have taken the decision to wind down the operations of the Company and liquidate the Amigo Loans Group subsidiaries and therefore do not consider it to be appropriate to adopt the going concern basis of accounting in preparing the financial statements. Accordingly, the financial statements have been prepared on a basis other than going concern as described in note 1.
Our opinion is not modified in respect of this matter.
Our audit was scoped by obtaining an understanding of the Company, and its environment, system of internal control, and assessing the risks of material misstatement in the financial statements. We also addressed the risk of management override of internal controls, including assessing whether there was evidence of bias by the Directors that may have represented a risk of material misstatement.
Our audit considered the significant changes in the operations of the Amigo Loans Group and decision taken by the Directors to cease trading and liquidate the operating companies of Amigo Loans Group prior to 30 September 2025.

|---|---|---|---|
| 4% of adjusted net assets (2024: 2% of total | |||
| £12,000 | £18,000 | assets) | |
| Key audit matter | |||
| Going concern |
Key Audit Matters are those matters that, in our professional judgement, were of most significance in our audit of the financial statements of the current period and include the most significant assessed risks of material misstatement (whether or not due to fraud) that we identified. These matters included those matters which had the greatest effect on: the overall audit strategy; the allocation of resources in the audit; and directing the efforts of the engagement team. These matters were addressed in the context of our audit of the financial statements as a whole, and in forming our opinion thereon, and we do not provide a separate opinion on these matters.
As set out in note 1 of the financial statements, the financial statements have been prepared on a basis other than going concern, as the Amigo Loans Group ceased trading. As at 29 September 2025, all subsidiary companies of Amigo Holdings plc had been placed into liquidation. Parallel to these events, the Directors have continued to explore alternative operational opportunities for Amigo Holdings plc, including through a Reverse Take Over ("RTO"), and accordingly Amigo Holdings plc has not been placed into liquidation.
The determination of the appropriate basis of preparation of the financial statements, together with the related judgments and disclosures, was a significant area of focus for our audit and therefore considered to be a key audit matter.
We performed the following procedures in response to this key audit matter:
We reviewed post-balance sheet events disclosures made in the financial statements and obtained evidence to support the disclosure made in particular about the future prospects of Amigo Holdings plc and relevant dependencies.
The disclosures in the financial statements are consistent with audit evidence obtained in respect of the future prospects of the Company.
Our definition of materiality considers the value of error or omission on the financial statements that, individually or in aggregate, would change or influence the economic decision of a reasonably knowledgeable user of those financial statements. Misstatements below these levels will not necessarily be evaluated as immaterial as we also take account of the nature of identified misstatements, and the particular circumstances of their occurrence, when evaluating their effect on the financial statements as a whole. Materiality is used in planning the scope of our work, executing that work and evaluating the results.
Materiality in respect of the Company set at £12,000 (2024: £18,000) which was determined on the basis of 4% of adjusted net assets (2024: 2% of total assets). Adjusted net assets were considered to be the most appropriate benchmark for the calculation of materiality as, in a basis other than going concern scenario, users are primarily focused on the recoverability of assets, the settlement of liabilities and the resulting residual value.
Performance materiality is the application of materiality at the individual account or balance level, set at an amount to reduce, to an appropriately low level, the probability that the aggregate of uncorrected and undetected misstatements exceeds materiality for the financial statements as a whole.
Performance materiality for the Company was set at £8,400 (2024: £12,600) which represents 70% (2024: 70%) of the above materiality levels.
The determination of performance materiality reflects our assessment of the risk of undetected errors existing, the nature of the systems and controls and the level of misstatements arising in previous audits. We agreed to report any corrected or uncorrected adjustments exceeding £600 (2024: £900) to the Audit Committee as well as differences below this threshold that in our view warranted reporting on qualitative grounds.
We evaluated the design and implementation of those internal controls of the Company which are relevant to our audit, such as those relating to the financial reporting cycle. Taking into account the change in operations of the Company our audit approach was fully substantive.
In planning our audit and gaining an understanding of the Company, we considered the potential impact of climaterelated risks on the business and its financial statements. The Company has not operated during the period, and we discussed with management the climate-related risks relevant for the Company. We have agreed with managements' assessment that climate-related risks are not material to these financial statements and reviewed the relevant disclosures as required by the Listing Rules.
The other information comprises the information included in the annual report other than the financial statements and our auditor's report thereon. The Directors are responsible for the other information contained within the annual report. Our opinion on the financial statements does not cover the other information and, except to the extent otherwise explicitly stated in our report, we do not express any form of assurance conclusion thereon. Our responsibility is to read the other information and, in doing so, consider whether the other information is materially inconsistent with the financial statements, or our knowledge obtained in the course of the audit, or otherwise appears to be materially misstated. If we identify such material inconsistencies or apparent material misstatements, we are required to determine whether this gives rise to a material misstatement in the financial statements themselves. If, based on the work we have performed, we conclude that there is a material misstatement of this other information, we are required to report that fact.
We have nothing to report in this regard.
In our opinion, based on the work undertaken in the course of the audit:
In the light of the knowledge and understanding of the Company and their environment obtained in the course of the audit, we have not identified material misstatements in the strategic report or the Directors' report.
Those aspects of the Directors' remuneration report which are required to be audited have been prepared in accordance with applicable legal requirements.
We have reviewed the Directors' statement in relation to going concern, longer-term viability and that part of the Corporate Governance Statement relating to the entity's compliance with the provisions of the UK Corporate Governance Code specified for our review by the UK Listing Rules.
Based on the work undertaken as part of our audit, we have concluded that each of the following elements of the Corporate Governance Statement is materially consistent with the financial statements and our knowledge obtained during the audit:
We have nothing to report in respect of the following matters in relation to which the Companies Act 2006 requires us to report to you if, in our opinion:
As explained more fully in the Directors' responsibilities statement, the Directors are responsible for the preparation of the financial statements and for being satisfied that they give a true and fair view, and for such internal control as the Directors determine is necessary to enable the preparation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
In preparing the financial statements, the Directors are responsible for assessing the Company's ability to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless the Directors either intend to liquidate the Company or to cease operations, or have no realistic alternative but to do so.
Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor's report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with ISAs (UK) will always detect a material misstatement when it exists.
Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these financial statements.
A further description of our responsibilities for the financial statements is located on the FRC's website at: www.frc.org.uk/auditorsresponsibilities . This description forms part of our auditor's report.
Irregularities, including fraud, are instances of non-compliance with laws and regulations. We design procedures in line with our responsibilities, outlined above, to detect material misstatements in respect of irregularities, including fraud.
These audit procedures were designed to provide reasonable assurance that the financial statements were free from fraud or error. The risk of not detecting a material misstatement due to fraud is higher than the risk of not detecting one resulting from error and detecting irregularities that result from fraud is inherently more difficult than detecting those that result from error, as fraud may involve collusion, deliberate concealment, forgery or intentional misrepresentations. Also, the further removed non-compliance with laws and regulations is from events and transactions reflected in the financial statements, the less likely we would become aware of it.
The extent of the procedures undertaken to identify and assess the risks of material misstatement in respect of irregularities, including fraud, included the following:
detecting and responding to the risks of fraud and whether they had any knowledge of actual or suspected fraud; and
the internal controls established to mitigate risks related to fraud or non-compliance with laws and regulations.
In respect of the above procedures:
We were first appointed by the Directors on 2 September 2022 to audit the financial statements of the Company for the year ended 31 March 2023. The period of total uninterrupted engagement including previous renewals and reappointments of the firm is 3 years, initially under the legal entity MacIntyre Hudson LLP and subsequently under MHA Audit Services LLP. We did not provide any non-audit services which are prohibited by the FRC's Ethical Standard to the Company, and we remain independent of the Company in conducting our audit.
This report is made solely to the Company's members, as a body, in accordance with Chapter 3 of Part 16 of the Companies Act 2006. Our audit work has been undertaken so that we might state to the Company's members those matters we are required to state to them in an auditor's report and for no other purpose. To the fullest extent permitted by law, we do not accept or assume responsibility to anyone other than the Company and the Company's members as a body, for our audit work, for this report, or for the opinions we have formed.
The Company is required to include these financial statements in an annual financial report prepared under Disclosure Guidance and Transparency Rules 4.1.15R to 4.1.18R. This auditor's report provides no assurance over whether the annual financial report has been prepared in accordance with those requirements

Amigo Holdings PLC (the "Company") is a company limited by shares and incorporated and domiciled in England and Wales.
The principal activity of the Company was to act as a holding company for the Amigo Loans Group of companies. The principal activity of the Amigo Loans Group was previously to provide loans to consumers. With the Fallback Solution under the Scheme of Arrangement ("Scheme") being implemented, leading to a cessation of trade and implementation of a wind down plan in March 2023, there has been no new lending in the eighteen months to 30 September 2025. The Amigo Loans Group has collected its assets and settled all liabilities in line with obligations under the Scheme, and the Scheme Supervisor passed a resolution that the Scheme had been completed on 17 September 2025. On 29 September 2025, liquidators were appointed to carry out solvent members' voluntary liquidations of the Company's subsidiaries. Therefore as at 30 September 2025, the Company did not control any subsidiary companies as such the financial statements are for the Company only.
Amigo Holdings PLC changed its accounting reference date from 31 March to 30 September. The Directors implemented this change to preserve cash. The change in the accounting reference date means that the amounts presented in the financial statements are not entirely comparable, as this period's figures are for an eighteen-month period whilst the comparatives are for a twelve-month period. The Company has modest residual cash resources and is looking for a reverse takeover opportunity. If a suitable opportunity does not emerge, then, as previously indicated, the Company may ultimately seek shareholder approval to delist from the London Stock Exchange and enter its own liquidation process.
The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention, in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards as adopted by the UK, and in conformity with the requirements of the Companies Act 2006.
The functional currency of the Company is GBP. These financial statements are presented in GBP.
The following material accounting policies have been applied:
In determining the appropriate basis of preparation for these financial statements, the Board has undertaken an assessment of the Company's ability to continue as a going concern for a period of at least twelve months from the date of approval of the financial statements.
In undertaking a Going Concern review, the Directors considered the former Amigo Loans Group's implementation of the Fallback Solution announced on 23 March 2023, under the Scheme. The Fallback Solution required that the Group's sole trading subsidiary, Amigo Loans Ltd ("ALL") to stop lending immediately and be placed in an orderly wind down, with any surplus cash following the wind down to be transferred to Scheme creditors. ALL would then appoint liquidators within two months of the final monies being paid to ALL Scheme Ltd ("SchemeCo"). Throughout the period to 30 September 2025 the Fallback Solution has progressed. Amigo's back book of loans has been run off or sold or written off, interim and final distributions or Scheme payments have been paid to all Scheme creditors, and almost all of the staff have exited the business since implementation of the Fallback Solution. ALL entered liquidation on 29 September 2025, in line with obligations under the Scheme.
Given the cessation of trading on 23 March 2023, alongside no apparent realistic strategic capital raise or viable alternative solutions, and the requirement dictated by the Scheme to ultimately liquidate ALL (the Amigo Loans Group's sole cash-generating unit), the Board has determined that the financial statements for the period ended 30 September 2025 will be prepared on a basis other than going concern, consistent with the prior period. In making this assessment consideration was given to the potential for Amigo Holdings PLC to attract a reverse takeover or similar transaction. However, such an outcome, whilst the strategic intention of the Directors, does not have sufficient certainty in either cashflow or ability to trade to change the basis of preparation from that adopted in the period ended 30 September 2025.
The Directors believe there is no general dispensation from the measurement, recognition and disclosure requirements of IFRS despite the Company not continuing as a going concern. Therefore, IFRS is applied accordingly throughout the financial statements. No material adjustments to the carrying value of the assets or liabilities was required. The relevant accounting standards for each part of the Financial Statements have been applied on the conditions that existed and decisions that had been taken by the Board as at or prior to 30 September 2025.
The Company primarily enters into basic financial instruments transactions that result in the recognition of financial assets and liabilities.
Cash is represented by cash in hand and deposits with financial institutions repayable without penalty on notice of not more than 24 hours. Cash equivalents are highly liquid investments that mature in no more than three months from the date of acquisition and that are readily convertible to known amounts of cash with insignificant risk of change in value.
The main categories of expenditure included in administrative and other operating expenses are professional fees £0.4m (2024: £0.3m) and employee costs £0.1m (2024: £ nil). Other operating expenses include fees payable to the Company's auditors for the audit of these financial statements amounted to £30,000 (2024: £24,000).
During the period one person served as Non-Executive Director. Wages and salaries amounted to £0.1m (2024: £nil). The average number of employees employed by the Company (including Directors) was nil in both the current and prior periods.
The highest paid Director in the current period received remuneration of £67,575 inclusive of employers' National Insurance (2024: £ nil). There were no retirement benefits relating to key management personnel.
The applicable corporation tax rate for the period to 30 September 2025 was 25.0% (2024: 25.0%) and the effective tax rate is 0.0% (2024: negative 0.8%).

Since entering the Fallback Solution the management of cash balances changed substantially in line with obligations under the Court approved Scheme of Arrangement. The Scheme was designed to ensure the Group could carry out an orderly wind down, which include having access to sufficient liquidity from previously restricted balances. The Scheme is now complete and redress delivered to customers, and Amigo's subsidiaries have entered a solvent members' voluntary liquidation. Before liquidation, the subsidiaries transferred £0.7m of residual funds to Amigo Holdings PLC, with an indemnity undertaking from Amigo Holdings PLC in favour of the Liquidators to pay all liquidation costs. These costs are expected to consume around £0.3m, leaving approximately £0.4m for Amigo Holdings PLC. This amount was too small to support a further Scheme payment. This will fund Amigo Holdings PLC's minimal overheads and potential search for future opportunities. Amigo Holdings PLC exists as a listed company with no liabilities to Scheme creditors.

As explained further in note 12, the £0.4m owed to Amigo Management Services (in liquidation) has been reclassified as a third-party loan balance at the period end. This loan arose from the transfer of residual funds to Amigo Holdings PLC from the subsidiaries prior to entering liquidation (note 6),
On 4 July 2018 the Company's shares were admitted to trading on the London Stock Exchange. Immediately prior to admission the shareholder loan notes were converted to equity, increasing the share capital of the business to 475.3m ordinary shares and increasing net assets by £207.2m. On 28 March 2024 Amigo announced that Peterhouse Capital Limited arranged for the placing of 95,019,200 new ordinary shares of 0.25p each fully paid, ranking pari passu in all respects with the existing issued ordinary shares. On 5 April 2024, 23,766,400 of these shares ("First Placing Shares") were admitted for listing on the Equity Shares (Commercial Companies) Category of the Official List and to trading on the main market for listed securities of the London Stock Exchange. The remaining 71,252,800 shares ("Second Placing Shares") were admitted for listing on 9 May 2024.
On 11 July 2025 the 41,000 deferred ordinary shares of £0.24 each were cancelled.

The holders of ordinary shares are entitled to receive dividends as declared from time to time and are entitled to one vote per share at general meetings of the Company. Each ordinary share in the capital of the Company ranks equally in all respects and no shareholder holds shares carrying special rights relating to the control of the Company. The nominal value of shares in issue is shown in share capital, with any additional consideration for those shares shown in share premium.
At the time of the IPO and subdivision the 41,000 ordinary B shares were split into 16,400,000 ordinary shares of 0.25p and 41,000 deferred shares of £0.24. The deferred shares did not carry any rights to receive any profits of the Company or any rights to vote at a general meeting. Prior to the subdivision the ordinary B shares had 1.24 votes per share; all other shares had one vote per share. These deferred shares were cancelled on 11 July 2025.
Dividends are recognised through equity, on the earlier of their approval by the Company's shareholders or their payment.
The Board has decided that it will not propose a final dividend payment for the period ended 30 September 2025 (2024: £nil).
The following standards, amendments to standards and interpretations are newly effective in the period. There has been no significant impact to the Company as a result of their issue.
The IASB has also issued the following standards, amendments to standards and interpretations that will be effective from 1 January 2025, however these have not been early adopted by the Company. The Company does not expect any significant impact on its consolidated financial statements from these amendments.
The following were subsidiary undertakings of the Company and included undertakings registered or incorporated up to the date of the Directors' Report as indicated. Unless otherwise indicated all Group owned shares are ordinary. All entities were subsidiaries on the basis of 100% ownership and shareholding.
As part of the orderly wind down of activities of the Group, on 29 September 2025, all of Amigo's subsidiaries have appointed Chris Laverty and Sean Croston of Grant Thornton UK Advisory & Tax LLP as joint liquidators to carry out solvent members' voluntary liquidations of the Company's subsidiaries.

The Company had no capital commitments as at 30 September 2025 (2024: £nil).
The Company received charges from and made charges to its 100% owned subsidiaries. Amounts owed to Group undertakings are considered non-recoverable and were waived in the period to 30 September 2025. As part of the liquidation of the Scheme business, all residual free cash totalling £0.7m, was lent to Amigo for a period of twelve months (the "Loan Term"). Amigo gave the Scheme businesses/the liquidators an indemnity to pay all cost of liquidating the Scheme businesses. These costs were estimated to total £0.3m, leaving a net loan, after set-off, of £0.4m (which remains a contingent liability). This loan can be called in at the end of the Loan Term. However, this money would be immediately returned to Amigo (as the final beneficial shareholder) following the solvent liquidation of the Scheme businesses. This £0.4m is designated as a third-party loan balance at the period end, since Amigo Holdings PLC no longer exerts control over the subsidiaries now that they are in liquidation.

On 27 October 2025, Amigo announced that it had appointed Craig Ransley ("Craig") as a Board consultant to assist the Board in identifying and pursuing a reverse takeover in the mining sector.
Under Craig's consultancy agreement, Amigo agreed that if Craig successfully introduced investors that irrevocably agreed to subscribe for a £1.5 million capital raise, then Amigo would pay Craig a fee of £200,000. Craig agreed to use the fee to subscribe for 57,035,200 Amigo new ordinary shares of 0.25p each fully paid ("Fee Shares") at an issue price of 0.3507p per Fee Share.
On 14 November 2025, Amigo announced that Craig had successfully introduced investors that irrevocably agreed to subscribe for up to £1.5 million of unlisted convertible loan notes ("Loan Notes"). Therefore, Amigo paid the £200,000 to Craig who used that money to subscribe for the Fee Shares.
On 14 November 2025, Amigo announced that institutional investors had irrevocably agreed to subscribe for up to £1.5 million of unlisted convertible loan notes ("Loan Notes"). The Loan Notes are convertible at a price of 0.3p per Amigo new ordinary share of 0.25p each fully paid into a maximum of 500,000,000 Amigo new ordinary shares of 0.25p each fully paid ("Conversion Shares"). The subscription for the Loan Notes is subject only to approval by shareholders at a General Meeting. The Loan Notes are mandatorily convertible by Amigo in two tranches:
On 26 November 2025 Amigo announced that it will enable existing shareholders to participate and buy new ordinary shares in the capital raise at the same price as the Loan Notes through the Winterflood Retail Access Platform to raise up to £188,100 subject also to approval by shareholders at a General Meeting.
On 26 November 2025, Amigo announced that it will hold a general meeting to consider and vote on a resolution relating to the above proposals on 19 December 2025.
Given the implementation of the Fallback Scheme and the winding down of the Group's business, the Board believes that disclosure of alternative performance measures ("APMs") are significantly reduced.
