Uvenco UK plc ("Uvenco UK", "the Company" or "the Group")

Loan Agreement

The Company announces that it has entered into a loan agreement ("the Loan Agreement") with the Cleitus Investments Limited ("CIL"), a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Uvenco Group in Russia ("Uvenco Group") whereby CIL shall provide the Company with a loan in the amount of £410,000 ("the Loan"). Uvenco Group has agreed to extend a greater facility to the £200,000 announced on 24 November 2016 due to its continued commitment to the Group's restructuring.

The Loan bears a fixed interest rate of 8% per annum on sums drawn, payable quarterly in arrears in cash, and is repayable in 12 equal monthly instalments, commencing 18 January 2018.

In addition, the outstanding principal of the Loan may be converted, at the discretion of CIL and at any time, into new ordinary shares of the Company at 5 pence per share. Any such conversion shall be subject to the resultant aggregate interests of Boris Belotserkovsky (non-executive Director of the Company and controller of the Uvenco Group), together with his connected persons, not being 30% or over of the Company's enlarged issued share capital following any conversion. Boris Belotserkovsky is a member of the Belotserkovsky Concert Party which currently has a total interest in 53.79% of the Company's issued share capital.

The Loan will be used to finance the Group's working capital requirements and the Company intends to fully draw down the Loan with immediate effect.

CIL is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Uvenco Group which is controlled by the Belotserkovsky family with Boris Belotserkovsky, a non-executive director of the Company and a member of the Belotserkovsky concert party, acting as Chairman of the board.
