LendInvest plc

("LendInvest" or the "Company")

Issue of Shares to the Employee Benefit Trust

and

Total Voting Rights

LendInvest plc (AIM: LINV) today announces the proposed issue and allotment of 1,250,000 new ordinary shares in the capital of the Company of £0.0005 each (the "New Shares") intended to be subscribed for at par value by Equiniti Trust (Jersey) Limited (the "Trustee"), as trustee of the LendInvest Employee Benefit Trust (the "EBT"). The EBT is subscribing for the New Shares to satisfy the expected exercise of share options held by current and former employees following the vesting of such options over the next six months.

The subscription costs for the New Shares will be funded by way of a loan from the Company to the EBT. The New Shares will rank pari passu in all respects with the Company's existing Ordinary Shares.

Application has been made to London Stock Exchange plc for admission of the New Shares to trading on AIM ("Admission"). It is expected that Admission will become effective on 23 March 2023.

Following Admission, the total number of Ordinary Shares held by the EBT will be 1,820,049, representing approximately 1.3% of the Company's total voting rights.

Following Admission, the total number of shares in issue in the Company will be 139,631,046. The Company does not hold any shares in treasury and all shares have equal voting rights. Therefore, the total number of voting rights in the Company, following Admission, will be 139,631,046. This figure may be used by shareholders as the denominator for the calculations by which they will determine if they are required to notify their interest in, or a change to their interest in, LendInvest under the Financial Conduct Authority's Disclosure Guidance and Transparency Rules.
