RANGER DIRECT LENDING FUND PLC (the "Company")

Appointment of director and disclosure in accordance with Listing Rule 9.6.13

The board is pleased to announce the appointment of Brett Miller as a non-executive director of the Company with immediate effect. The directors of the Company are pleased to welcome Mr Miller, who has relevant listed company experience, to the board and a short biography for Mr Miller is set out below.

Establishment of, and appointment to, board committees

The board would also like to announce:

b. Dominik Dolenec and Brendan Hawthorne to the audit committee (joining Jonathan Schneider, who is the existing chairman of the audit committee).

The two new committees have been formed as working groups to:

1. engage with the Company's investment manager, Ranger Alternative Management II, LP (the "Investment Manager") concerning the wind-down and realisation of the Company's existing portfolio (excluding Princeton) with the specific aim of maximising returns for stakeholders. This committee will also conduct an in-depth review of the Company's service providers and their contractual agreements as well as other corporate matters. This committee is comprised of Dominik Dolenec, Brendan Hawthorne and Brett Miller; and

 

2. liaise with the Investment Manager and act as a point of contact in respect of the Princeton proceedings and the strategic decisions associated with those proceedings. This committee is comprised of Jonathan Schneider and Gregory Share.

The re-constituted board aims to quickly and efficiently deliver on the shareholders' overwhelming desire to wind down the Company. Any final decisions regarding the approach to the investment portfolio and any other proposals to be put to shareholders will be decided by the board as a whole. Transparency, accountability and stakeholder engagement will be paramount, as the Company moves into the next phase. Further announcements will be made in due course.
