RPL also currently expects its “Other income” in 1H23 (on a normalised basis)[3] to be approximately $9 million. This item predominantly includes revenue relating to RPL’s seed capital investments (such as dividends/distributions income and fair value movements on investments, both realised and unrealised) and interest income.
Performance fees and “Other income” are variable and may fluctuate significantly from period to period, even over quite short periods of time.
It is emphasised that these numbers are approximate, rounded and represent preliminary estimates that are subject to auditor review.
CORPORATE CREDIT FACILITY
RPL is pleased to announce that it has entered into a $50m unsecured revolving corporate credit facility with HSBC. The facility, which has a term of two years and 11 months, provides additional working capital flexibility as well as funding for inorganic growth opportunities and complements Regal’s existing cash and investments on balance sheet of over $200 million at 30 June 2023.[4]
