Five year Loan Facility with Santander UK Plc

MartinCo Plc (AIM:MCO), one of the UK's largest property franchise businesses, today announces that it has entered into a five year Secured Term Loan Facility with Santander UK Plc.

MartinCo listed on AIM in December 2013 and raised £4m to fund an acquisitive strategy to supplement organic growth of its lettings business. This new facility will provide the Group with additional flexibility to grow its business.

Highlights

· £5m term loan facility available for 5 years

· Multiple advances can be drawn down over a maximum of 5 years from commencement, and all repayments and prepayments during the period may be reborrowed.

David Raggett, Chief Financial Officer said; 

"We are delighted to have secured the support of Santander and to have signed this credit facility. This will enable us, with our strong balance sheet, to deliver the significant growth we have planned, including our target of 10,000 additional properties under management within two years of listing.

The loan provides financial flexibility, which allows us to set our sights on bigger individual targets if attractive opportunities present themselves."
