Attention: ASX Market Announcements Platform Appendix 3Y – Change of Director’s Interest Notice

Megaport Limited (ASX:MP1) ( Company or Megaport ) attaches an Appendix 3Y – Change of Director's Interest Notice for Non-Executive Chairman, Mr Bevan Slattery.

Further to Megaport's announcement on 25 February 2020, to fund various investment commitments and opportunities, Mr Slattery has entered into an additional structured option and loan facility (which includes a collar arrangement), under which Mr Slattery has borrowed funds from an investment bank ( Funding Arrangement ). The Funding Arrangement has a term of approximately 16.5 months and is secured by a further 1,000,000 fully paid ordinary shares in Megaport.

The pledged shares the subject of this Funding Arrangement represent approximately 5.5% of Megaport shares which Mr Slattery owns or controls, and less than 1% of Megaport's ordinary share capital, and together with the pledged shares the subject of Mr Slattery's funding arrangement announced by Megaport on 25 February 2020, represent approximately 16.63% of Megaport shares which Mr Slattery owns or controls, and less than 2% of Megaport's ordinary share capital.

The transactions received the approvals required under the Company’s securities trading policy.
