Notes to Editors

Mr. Kisnadwala has over three decades of global experience in financial services in the UK, Ireland, the USA and other international markets in strategic Chief Finance Officer or other senior finance roles. His experience includes consumer lending in world class companies like American Express, MBNA and Barclaycard. Most recently, he was the Group CFO of Premium Credit Limited. Mr. Kisnadwala is a non-executive director of peer to peer secured bridging lender, Kuflink Group plc. Mr. Kisnadwala holds an MBA from New York University. He is also a Chartered Accountant and a Chartered Financial Analyst.

Mr Dighton will remain employed by the Company until 30 June 2019, to facilitate an orderly handover to Mr Kisnadwala. Simon will continue to act as Chief Financial Officer until FCA authorisation has been obtained for Mr. Kisnadwala, which is expected by the end of January 2019.

Simon Dighton will be paid £100,000 in cash under his existing performance bonus scheme in recognition of his work undertaken since IPO to date and for the period from today until the end of May 2019. Simon will cease to be eligible to receive any payment under the maximum £550,000 IPO related bonus scheme. He will participate in a special bonus arrangement reflecting his continuing contribution to ongoing projects which have the potential to enhance the Company's profitability. Under this arrangement, he may be entitled to receive cash payments totalling up to a theoretical maximum of £680,000, depending on the financial performance of the business in the 2019 calendar year. If there is no earnings uplift directly attributed to these projects, there will be no additional performance bonus. None of the above constitutes earnings guidance, which remains unchanged. Amigo will provide further details of actual payments made to Simon under this arrangement, if any, in conjunction with publication of the results for the financial year to 31 March 2019.

Nayan Kisnadwala will be paid a basic salary of £310,000. He will also be entitled to a discretionary bonus equal to up to 100% of base salary.

About Amigo Loans

Amigo Holdings PLC ("Amigo" or the "Company") is listed on the main market of the London Stock Exchange (ticker: AMGO). Amigo is the leading company in the UK guarantor loans market and offers access to mid-cost credit to those who are unable to borrow from traditional lenders due to their credit histories.

The guarantor loan concept introduces a second individual to the lending relationship, typically a family member or friend with a stronger credit profile than the borrower. This individual acts as guarantor, undertaking to make loan payments if the borrower does not.

Amigo was founded in 2005 and has grown to become the UK's largest provider of guarantor loans, with approximately 88% UK product share as of 31 March 2018. In the process, Amigo's guarantor loan product has allowed borrowers to rebuild their credit scores and improve their ability to access credit from mainstream financial service providers in the future.

Amigo operates within the mid cost-credit market providing a simple and transparent product - a guarantor loan at an APR of 49.9%, with no fees, early redemption penalties or any other charges.

Amigo Loans Ltd and Amigo Management Services Ltd are authorised and regulated in the UK by the Financial Conduct Authority (FCA).
