LendInvest Expands Institutional Backing with £250 Million Societe Generale Facility

New partnership strengthens LendInvest's position as the leading platform for
alternative property finance & investment in the UK

LONDON: LendInvest (AIM: LINV), the UK's leading platform for property
finance, has secured a new £250 million warehouse facility with Societe
Generale.

The agreement further demonstrates the confidence of global financial
institutions in LendInvest's expertise and origination capabilities,
reinforcing its role as a trusted partner for investment in the UK property
finance market.

The facility from Societe Generale represents a significant step in expanding
its presence in the UK property finance market, providing access to a
resilient and well-established sector. For LendInvest, the partnership ensures
continued momentum in its Buy-to-Let and specialist residential mortgage
growth, reinforcing its reputation as a leading originator and asset manager.

This collaboration highlights the strategic alignment between the two
businesses: Societe Generale benefits from LendInvest's technology-driven
lending platform, while LendInvest gains additional institutional backing to
scale its digital mortgage offerings and broaden its market reach.

The partnership also comes as LendInvest prepares to launch a fully digital
Buy-to-Let mortgage proposition, streamlining the mortgage application process
and enhancing customer experience through advanced automation and digital
underwriting.

Rod Lockhart, CEO of LendInvest, said: "We are pleased to welcome Societe
Generale as a strategic funding partner, further demonstrating the confidence
global financial institutions have in our expertise and origination
capabilities.

"This partnership will enable us to continue supporting UK landlords while
delivering strong value creation for Societe Generale. It cements our position
as the partner of choice for institutional investors looking to access UK
mortgages."

The new warehouse facility provides LendInvest with highly competitive funding
terms and multi-year support. It also brings additional flexibility to the
business, enabling greater efficiencies in mortgage origination. With Societe
Generale's support, LendInvest gains enhanced capacity to integrate digital
valuation and underwriting solutions, enhancing its existing processes and
further differentiating itself from traditional lenders.

Emmanuel Blind, Head of European Financial Institutions Securitisation at
Societe Generale, said: "Societe Generale is delighted to establish a
strategic funding partnership with LendInvest, supporting its Buy-to-Let and
residential mortgage originations and contributing to the valuable work it
does to finance the real economy in the UK, which closely aligns with Societe
Generale's commitments. LendInvest has an extensive track record of executing
on its sound business strategy, and we are excited to further develop our
relationship."

The facility supports LendInvest's continued momentum in capital markets
following a series of significant funding agreements, including a £500
million upsize from an existing institutional investor, a £300 million
syndicate with Barclays, BNP Paribas, and HSBC, and a £1.5 billion funding
agreement extension with JP Morgan - all in the last six months. With strong
institutional backing, LendInvest continues to drive growth and innovation,
reinforcing its position as a leader in the UK alternative property finance
market.
