Covenants on its existing GBP and SEK notes have been amended to align with the covenants on the new notes.

Chief Executive Gerard Ryan: "I am delighted to announce our successful new 5-year bond issue and amended covenant package across all our bonds. This will provide the financial foundation on which we will continue to enable financial inclusion of consumers underserved by mainstream lenders by fulfilling their credit needs responsibly. I'd like to thank our bondholders for their continued support of the [International Personal Finance] group - a sustainable, resilient business with a long history of serving our customers well, and consistently delivering good levels of profitability, returns and capital generation."
