THIS ANNOUNCEMENT CONTAINS INSIDE INFORMATION.

Aurum (Cayman) Limited

(the "Company")

Date: 19 July 2023

Capital structure exercise and implications for Certificateholders

Notice is hereby given that, due to a range of short-term factors, the Company is facing liquidity tightening in relation to the payment of the principal payment due on 7 August 2023 under the U.S.$135,000,000 Secured 10.50 per cent. amortising Certificates due 2024 issued by TFG Sukuk I Limited (the "Certificates").

While the Company intends to make payment, in full, of the profit payment due under the Certificates on 7 August 2023, the Company will be unable to meet its principal payment of US$27m in full on the due date. The Company expects to be in a position to service approximately U.S.$2 million of the principal payment due on 7 August 2023 and continues to explore a number of operational levers and external financing options to service this principal payment in full during the remainder of the calendar year. The Company has an adequate level of liquidity for operational purposes and is not seeking external financing for operational purposes.

In the context of the impact of the post Covid-19 recovery period and current cash flow forecast profile, the Company believes a reprofiling of its repayment profile is required. The Company has appointed Rothschild & Co to advise the Company on pursuing options to optimise the Company's capital structure and to support the Company on running simultaneous processes, including seeking (i) a refinancing and/or amendment of current indebtedness; and (ii) raising equity from strategic investors.

In respect to the parallel workstream to reprofile the repayment profile of the Certificates, the Company is seeking an inclusive and collaborative approach with Certificateholders in this respect. It is therefore proposing an amendment to the terms and conditions of the Certificates, which will be discussed in conjunction with its Certificateholders, to allow for:

-- A fully amortising structure with a 2-year tenor extension and limited amortisation on the final instalment payment;

-- Subsequent principal repayments of the Certificates , through the raising of either debt and/or equity and with a corresponding release of security, if required, to facilitate such debt or equity raises (subject to a minimum security coverage being maintained for Certificateholders);

   --     Economics In the context of the amendments; and 
   --     Enhanced protections and information undertakings for the benefit of Certificateholders. 

Further updates will be provided when available.
