Duke Royalty Limited

("Duke Royalty" or "Duke")

Follow-On Investment into Existing Royalty Partner

Duke Royalty, a provider of alternative capital solutions to a diversified range of profitable and long-established businesses in Europe and North America, is pleased to announce a follow-on investment of £1.65 million into existing royalty partner InTec Business Solutions Limited ("InTec") to fund its latest acquisition.

InTec is an investment holding company created to execute a buy and build strategy of synergistic companies within the I.T. Managed Services sector in the United Kingdom and Ireland.

Highlights:

·    Duke's funds will facilitate InTec's acquisition of Opal IT Limited ("Opal"), an I.T. Managed Services business

·     The financing increases Duke's total investment into InTec to £14.0 million. The terms are the same as Duke's previous follow-on investment into InTec, including a starting yield of 13.5% and the normal 6% annual adjustment factor

·     Opal represents InTec's 11^th acquisition since 2016, and the fourth supported by Duke

·     The acquisition extends InTec's geographical reach into the North East of England and builds on InTec's credibility in both private sector and education IT managed service provision

Neil Johnson, CEO of Duke Royalty, said:

"InTec is using Duke's long term, flexible capital to execute on its defined M&A strategy, indeed this is the fourth acquisition that it has made since our initial investment. Opal is a strong fit for the existing Group and builds additional scale and competency in InTec's ability to deliver IT services to several end customer groups."
