SCIENCE IN SPORT PLC

("Company" or "Group")

New Debt Financing Facility

 

Science in Sport plc (AIM: SIS), the premium performance nutrition company serving elite athletes, sports enthusiasts and the gym lifestyle community, announces that it has secured a new £8 million invoice financing facility from the Company's lending bank, HSBC, for an initial one year term.

 

The Company announced it was exploring this facility at the time of the recent equity placing on 23 April 2020, in which the Group raised gross proceeds of approximately £4.5 million. The debt facility is expected to remain undrawn in the short term and further strengthens the Company's liquidity position.

 

Stephen Moon, Science in Sport's Chief Executive Officer, commented:

"This undrawn £8 million debt facility complements our recent equity fundraising by providing further headroom in our liquidity position should it be required during any future disruption caused by COVID-19. It also gives us additional balance sheet flexibility as we continue to deliver our high-growth strategy. The size of the facility at £8 million underlines the strength of our relationship with HSBC and the bank's confidence in the quality of our business."
