Further to the announcement made by the Company on 14 December 2023, JZ Capital Partners Limited confirmed that it has now repaid in full its senior facility with WhiteHorse Capital Management, LLC. Such repayment of the senior facility in the amount of approximately USD 45.0 million (plus accrued interest) represents the repayment in full of the Company's only outstanding debt obligation. The Company reiterates that it remains focused on the implementation of its new investment policy to realise maximum value from the Company's investments and, after the repayment of all debt, to return capital to shareholders.

Accordingly, the senior facility having now been repaid in full will, subject to retaining sufficient funds to cover existing obligations and support certain existing investments to maximise their value, enable the Company to plan to commence making distributions to shareholders, as previously announced in the Company's interim report and financial statements released on 9 November 2023.
