Prospa announces new Junior Funding Partner

Prospa Group Limited (ASX: PGL) (“Prospa” or “Company”) is pleased to announce the introduction of a new Junior Funding Partner into one of its Australian Warehouse Facilities that funds small business loans and line of credit facilities. The committed Junior Note facility will have an initial capacity of A$20 million and is designed to seamlessly scale up over time as Prospa continues to expand its Australian operations.

Prospa has partnered with a top-tier local Junior Funding Partner who has a deep understanding of the Australian securitisation market and a long-term interest in supporting Australian small businesses. The Junior Funding Partner has subscribed to Class B Notes in the warehouse facility and this lays a foundation should Prospa pursue a Term Asset Backed Security issuance.

This transaction represents an important part of Prospa’s long term capital management strategy. It will allow the Company to redeploy approximately $17.8m of equity capital back into its fast-growing Australian and New Zealand business. These funds will support Prospa’s cash position to enable investment in the development of new and existing products as a part of its “Grow, Run, Pay” strategy.
