Launch of third securitised loan note SPV
GLI announces that Sancus BMS Group Limited ("Sancus"), a wholly owned subsidiary of GLI, has today launched a third newly established special purpose vehicle (the "SPV") with a 14 month life. The initial raise is £3.7 million through the issue of senior notes entirely to external investors with a planned total raise of £15 million. It is likely that further draws of funds will be made in the next 3 months. The funds in the SPV will be deployed into loans which will be arranged by Sancus and its subsidiaries. Sancus is assuming a 20% first loss position.
The SPV's loan portfolio will be managed by Amberton Asset Management Limited.
Commenting on the investment, Andy Whelan, the Chief Executive of GLI and Sancus said:
"I am delighted to confirm the launch of this third SPV. The establishment of this series of loan note SPVs is an important part of our funding strategy to expand further the lending operations of Sancus. It is particularly pleasing to see the continuing interest from the market to participate in this third SPV, and through this mechanism, in the loans arranged by Sancus."
