The Loans are unsecured, accrue no interest and have no fixed repayment date

The Loans are expected to be fully drawn by the end of December with circa 60% of the proceeds being used towards funding new projects and 40% helping toward working capital requirements at SAA-GE, the acquisition the Company made in October 2017. The investment in SAA-GE is a temporary requirement as management seeks to strengthen operations and increase enrolment revenue by proceeding with various changes and initiatives. The investment towards the online projects relate to the announced English is Fun project (learning English through Games in collaboration with Oxford University Press) and another online Project Malvern is currently working on.

KSP and CG Corp are each substantial shareholders in the Company and therefore the loan agreements with them are classified as related party transactions for the purposes of AIM Rule 13. The independent directors in respect of each transaction consider, having consulted with WH Ireland Limited, the Company's nominated adviser, that the terms of the Loans are fair and reasonable insofar as the Company's shareholders are concerned.
