New Loan Facility

Starcom (AIM: STAR), which specialises in the development of wireless, Internet-Of-Things (IoT) based solutions for the remote tracking, monitoring and protection of a variety of assets, announces that it has been granted a loan of NIS 1,000,000 (c.£230,000), under an Israeli government backed scheme, which has been established to support businesses during the COVID-19 pandemic (the "Loan"). The Loan follows a number of grants received by Starcom from the Israeli government during the last few months, totaling NIS 760,000 (c.£175,000).

The Loan is repayable over a five year period after the first year and attracts annual interest at a rate of 1.5 per cent over the Israeli Prime Bank Rate. The Loan is secured and Starcom will maintain a deposit of 5 per cent of the total principal amount on account with the lender.

Avi Hartmann, CEO of Starcom, commented: "I am delighted that the Company has been approved for this loan which demonstrates confidence in the prospects for Starcom despite the COVID-19 impact. We continue to discuss and negotiate new strategic relationships which we hope will show progress during 2021."
