Amigo Holdings PLC (LSE:AMGO), a provider of mid-cost credit in the UK,

Accountants in England and Wales. He has led the development of both small and
large companies, from start-up and growth right through to maturing. Jerry has

Capital Group and the Swiss private banking arms of two Middle Eastern banks,
QNB Banque Privée (Suisse) SA and NBAD Private Bank (Suisse) SA. He has
also managed programmes for the UK Government's Department for International
Trade and the Japanese Government's Ministry of Foreign Affairs.

Jerry is currently a Non-Executive Director of Redwood Bank, a UK challenger
bank where he Chairs the Audit Committee. He is a board member and Chair of
the Audit Committee of Fiinu PLC, an AIM listed regulated Fintech company and
its trading subsidiary. He also holds Non-Executive roles with All African

audit and regulatory experience, combined with a commitment to open and
transparent engagement with all stakeholders will be a valuable addition to
our Board."

 

Jerry Loy, Non-Executive Director said: "Amigo is a business that offers a
financial solution for its customers who are not able to access finance from
mainstream lenders and are consistently being overlooked. I feel very strongly
about supporting customers that are facing financial exclusion and I want to
be a part of a business that offers customers an opportunity to access credit
when they need it."

 

There are no additional matters that would require disclosure under LR 9.6.13R
(1) to (6) in relation to this appointment.
