RC365 Holding plc (LSE: RCGH), a fintech solutions and payment services provider is pleased to announce that it has secured a total funding package of £2.25m, by entry into a standby credit facility of up to US$2.0 million between the Company's wholly owned indirect subsidiary and LYS Limited, a substantial shareholder in the Company and a company wholly owned and controlled by the Company's Executive Director and Chief Executive Officer, Chi Kit Law.

The facility is interest-free, unsecured and carries no commitment, arrangement or utilisation fees. The Board believes that the provision of the facility by the Company's Chief Executive Officer and a substantial shareholder demonstrates his continued confidence in the Group, its strategy and its long-term prospects.

The funding package is intended to provide the Group with additional financial flexibility and may be utilised, in whole or in part, to support platform development, to scale up revenue producing opportunities from new customers and general corporate purposes.

Principal commercial terms

· Maximum facility amount of US$2.0 million.

· Initial term of 24 months.

· Interest-free.

· No commitment, arrangement or utilisation fees.

Chi Kit Law, Executive Director and Chief Executive Officer of RC365, commented:

"I am excited by the Group's long-term strategy and growth prospects based on the recent launch of the Group's RC3.0 platform. By making this interest-free standby facility available, I am pleased to provide the Company with additional financial flexibility to support its continued development and future growth."
