International Personal Finance PLC (the "Issuer" or "IPF"), the holding company for a leading international home credit and digital provider of consumer finance, has today launched an offer of unsecured sterling denominated 7.75% notes due 14 December 2023 (the "Notes"). The Notes are available to retail investors in the United Kingdom and are being issued by IPF for general corporate purposes.

The Notes will bear interest at a fixed rate of 7.75% per annum, payable semi-annually in arrear in two equal instalments on 14 June and 14 December each year and will be redeemed (subject to and in accordance with their terms and conditions) at their nominal value on 14 December 2023. Holders of Notes should, in most normal circumstances, be able to sell their holdings during normal trading hours (subject to market conditions) on the open market through their stockbroker.

The Notes are expected to be rated Ba3 by Moody's Investors Service Limited and BB by Fitch Ratings Ltd.

City & Continental Ltd and Peel Hunt LLP are appointed as Joint Lead Managers in relation to the offering.

The Notes have a minimum initial subscription amount of £2,000 and are available in multiples of £100 thereafter.

The offer period is now open and is expected to close at 12 noon (London time) on 7 June 2019. IPF retains the right to close the offer early, in conjunction with the Joint Lead Managers. The Notes are due to be issued on 14 June 2019 (the "Issue Date").

The Notes are expected to be listed on the Financial Conduct Authority's Official List and admitted to trading on the London Stock Exchange's regulated market and through the electronic Order Book for Retail Bonds (ORB) segment.

A copy of the Final Terms for the Notes has been submitted to the National Storage Mechanism and will shortly be available for inspection at:  http://www.morningstar.co.uk/uk/nsm.

Commenting on the launch, Gerard Ryan, Chief Executive Officer of IPF said: "IPF plays an important role in providing credit to more than two million customers across 11 markets, through our home credit and digital lending businesses. IPF has always operated with a strong balance sheet and funding position, with a range of both wholesale and retail bonds across a number of currencies and a range of bank facilities from a core group of international banks. We first accessed the sterling retail bond market in 2013, and this new transaction forms part of our long-established debt funding strategy of maintaining a diversified portfolio of debt facilities, and extending our debt maturity profile to ensure long-term funding for the development of our business."
