Marble Point Loan Financing Limited

Reinstatement of Quarterly Dividend and Dividend Declaration

The Board of Directors of Marble Point Loan Financing Limited (the "Company") are pleased to announce the reinstatement of quarterly dividend payments and the declaration of a dividend of $0.02 per ordinary share.

On 8 April, 2020, the Company announced the temporary suspension of the declaration of dividends in the wake of the unprecedented global economic disruption and significant near-term uncertainties caused by the outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic. The Board and the Investment Manager believed that preserving liquidity was an appropriate and prudent action at the time, given the uncertainty of cash flows expected to be received in April 2020. Prior to the temporary suspension of dividends in April, the Company had paid dividends totaling $0.1554 per share since its listing in February 2018.

As announced in previous MPLF monthly reports, none of the Marble Point CLOs were required to divert cash available for distribution in April. Active management of the underlying CLO portfolios drove the receipt of full cash distributions despite an accelerating pace of loan downgrades during March and April. Furthermore, the Investment Manager expects that all of the CLOs in which the Company has an investment will make equity distributions in July 2020.

The Board and Investment Manager have monitored the performance of the Company's investments and have carefully considered appropriate options. The Board and Investment Manager recognise the importance of dividends to shareholders, including reinstating a regular dividend plan. At the same time, the Board recognise the difficulty of predicting the full impact of the pandemic. Risks of higher than modeled default rates or downgrades triggering provisions of CLO indentures may impact the magnitude of near-term cash flows. Accordingly, the Board and Investment Manager believe reinstating a quarterly dividend of $0.02 is appropriate, enabling the Company to distribute meaningful cash flow to shareholders while prudently preserving liquidity for other future purposes, including new investments.

The current dividend will be payable to the Company's shareholders of record as detailed below:

The Company declares its cash dividends in U.S. Dollars. Shareholders will, by default, receive their cash dividends in U.S. Dollars. However, the Company has arranged for shareholders to be able to elect to receive cash dividends in Sterling rather than U.S. Dollars. Shareholders who have made an election to receive the dividend in Sterling by the above-referenced Final Currency Election Date will receive the dividend at the prevailing rate at time of currency conversion (as determined by the Company's registrar). No action is required of shareholders who have previously made a dividend currency election or who wish to receive their dividend in U.S. Dollars. The Sterling Dividend Election Information regarding the dividend currency election and Dividend Currency Election Form are available on the Company's website: www.mplflimited.com/investor-relations.

Past performance is not indicative, or a guarantee, of future performance.
