Amigo Holdings PLC

("Amigo" or the "Company")

Annual General Meeting Statement

Amigo Holdings PLC (LSE: AMGO), a provider of mid-cost credit in the UK that is currently in an orderly solvent wind down will hold its Annual General Meeting ("AGM") today. At the meeting the following statement will be made:

"The situation facing the Company remains challenging for all stakeholders. The Company continues to progress the orderly wind down of the business, ensuring we are able to maximise payments to redress creditors, under the Scheme of Arrangement approved in May 2022 (the "Scheme"), whilst continuing to provide the best level of service possible to our customers and support for our staff.

The Company is solvent as a result of the arrangements put in place following the sanction of the Scheme and by virtue of the fact that it is supported by its subsidiary, Amigo Loans Ltd. Amigo Loans Ltd is required under the Scheme to liquidate once it has returned all net assets to its creditors. After the liquidation of Amigo Loans Ltd, Amigo Holdings Plc, the ultimate parent company, will be insolvent as it has no resources of its own. We anticipate this will happen in the next few months. Under the applicable rules the listing of Amigo Holdings PLC on the London Stock Exchange would be automatically cancelled upon the appointment of a liquidator to Amigo Holdings PLC.

Since the Group started to wind-down the Company has been open to any expression of interest from third parties in all or any assets of the business. The Company continues to be open to viable expressions of interest in all parts of the business. However, in this context, should there not emerge, very soon, a viable alternative solution, the Company will need to hold a separate General Meeting, in which shareholder approval will be sought to delist the Company from the London Stock Exchange and to enter the Company into a Members Voluntary Liquidation. In such a situation there will be no value remaining for to shareholders."

Amigo Holdings PLC will be holding the Company's Annual General Meeting today at the Bournemouth Highcliff Marriott Hotel, 105 St Michael's Road, Bournemouth BH2 5DU at 13.30. A live webcast will also be available via Zoom using:
