Notice to holders of the Issuer's £350m Senior PIK Toggle Notes due 2023 ("Notes")

Bracken Midco1 plc (the "Issuer"), the indirect parent company of Together Financial Services Limited ("Together" or, with its subsidiaries, the "Group") , has notified the Trustee that it will satisfy the interest payable on the Notes, due on 15th April 2020, in the form of payment-in-kind ("PIK") notes amounting to £ 18,156,250 ("Additional Notes") pursuant to the Minimum Liquidity Provision in the Indenture 1. Following the issue the aggregate outstanding principal amount of the Notes will be £ 368,156,250 .

Following careful consideration, and taking into account the terms of the Indenture, the Board of the Issuer has determined it appropriate to issue Additional Notes to satisfy the interest payable. At this time the Group is prudently preserving headroom in its funding facilities, given the relative infancy of the COVID-19 pandemic and the resultant market uncertainty. The decision is in line with the prudent measures announced by Together on 24th March 2020, including a temporary cessation in accepting new loan applications until the Group has a greater level of visibility on the impact of COVID-19. It is also consistent with the support we are providing to customers affected by the virus, including mortgage payment holidays in line with recent government guidance, and recent decisions by the UK banks, as guided by the PRA, to cancel or suspend dividends in order to cautiously preserve liquidity and capital.

Together has a 45-year track record built over multiple economic cycles during which it has consistently remained profitable and well-funded. It has a broad asset base spread across a diverse mix of customers, loan types and regions, all secured on property with a conservative weighted average indexed loan book LTV of 54.9% 2. The Group reported underlying profit before tax of £139.8m3 for the twelve month months ended 31 December 2019 and shareholder funds of £823.2m4, and benefits from a diversified funding structure with considerable depth of maturity 5.

Notes:

1. Indenture being the indenture governing the Notes dated 28th September 2018.
2. 54.9% weighted average indexed loan to value as at 31 December 2019. Only 3.1% of the book had an LTV of 80% or more.
3. Excluding certain exceptional provisions.
4. As at 31 December 2019, including subordinated shareholder loans.
5. Average maturity 3.8 years at 31 December 2019 pro-forma for the senior secured note refinancing in January 2020.
