International Public Partnership Ltd Proposed Issue of Equity

1 September 2015

Proposed Issue of Equity

The Board of Directors (the "Board") of International Public Partnerships Limited (the "Company" and/or "INPP") is pleased to announce that the Company proposes to raise approximately £18 million (before costs) through the issue of up to 13,430,202 ordinary shares of 0.01p in the capital of the Company (the "New Ordinary Shares") by way of tap issuance (the "Issue"). The Issue will be made to qualifying investors* through the Company's corporate broker, Numis Securities Limited ("Numis").

The net proceeds of the Issue will be used to reduce the drawn element of the Company's debt facility, which, following the recent investments including investments under the Priority Schools Building Programme 'Aggregator' funding programme, is drawn at approximately £82 million. c.£180 million has also been committed under the facility through the issuance of letters of credit which provide a guarantee for future investment instalments to the Thames Tideway Tunnel project through its period of construction. In addition, the Company has a strong pipeline of short and medium term opportunities which includes:

i. additional commitments to the final announced 'batch' of the Aggregator funding programme, for which the Company is preferred bidder;

 

ii. additional investment within the UK offshore transmission sector, where the Company currently has preferred bidder status on its sixth project, Westermost Rough;

 

iii. discussions on two further near term investments in the United States and Australia which have reached an advanced stage; and

 

iv. a number of other projects in the UK, Europe, Australia and the United States that the Company or its Investment Adviser are bidding on or developing.

The Issue will be non pre-emptive and will be launched immediately following this announcement, when Numis will commence a bookbuilding process to determine the level of demand from potential investors for participation in the Issue. The number of New Ordinary Shares to be issued and the price per New Ordinary Share (the "Strike Price") will be agreed between Numis and the Company following close of the bookbuild at noon on 7 September, and announced shortly thereafter. Numis and the Company reserve the right to set a maximum percentage of New Ordinary Shares that may be allocated to any one investor.

The New Ordinary Shares are not being offered at a fixed price. To bid in the bookbuild, investors will need to communicate their bid (or bids) by telephone to their usual sales contact at Numis. Each telephone bid should state the number of New Ordinary Shares for which the prospective investor wishes to subscribe and the price or price range that the prospective investor is offering to pay; any bid price must be for a full pence or half pence amount. The Strike Price will be in excess of the Company's prevailing net asset value per Ordinary Share.

The bookbuild is expected to close at 12 noon (London time) on 7 September 2015 but may be closed earlier or later at the discretion of the Company and Numis. Numis may, in agreement with the Company, accept bids that are received after the bookbuild has closed.

Subject to the above, Numis may choose to accept bids, either in whole or in part, on the basis of allocations determined in agreement with the Company, and may scale down any bids for this purpose on such basis as the Company and Numis may determine. Numis may also, notwithstanding the above, subject to the prior consent of the Company: (i) allocate New Ordinary Shares after the time of any initial allocation to any person submitting a bid after that time, and (ii) allocate New Ordinary Shares after the bookbuild has closed to any person submitting a bid after that time. The Company reserves the right to reduce the amount to be raised pursuant to the Issue.

Under the terms of the Issue, INPP has the ability to issue up to a maximum of [13,430,202] New Ordinary Shares on a non pre-emptive basis, under authority granted by Shareholders at its Annual General Meeting in June 2015. The Board, in consultation with Numis, may decide not to proceed with the Issue for any reason. In this case, an announcement will be made by the Company.

Application for listing and admission to trading

Application will be made to the Financial Conduct Authority for admission of the New Ordinary Shares to the premium segment of the Official List of the FCA and to the London Stock Exchange plc for admission to trading of the New Ordinary Shares on its main market for listed securities (together, "Admission"). It is expected that Admission will become effective on or around 9 September 2015 and that dealings in the New Ordinary Shares on the London Stock Exchange's main market for listed securities will commence at that time.

* As defined in section 86(7) of the Financial Services and Markets Act 2000 (as amended).
