November Investment Highlights

Despite continued macro uncertainty, updates from recipients of our direct loans have been positive with our wholesale loans reporting better trading activity and all borrowers have been meeting their debt obligations according to their documentation.

We continued to receive some sales and tax credit revenue from our film financing transactions.

In relation to IFRS 9 provisioning, KKV have implemented a revised and robust systematic grading system to reflect the need to assess risk consistently, this policy revision now takes into account market conditions and probability of default per credit. This uses a ten-stage categorisation methodology.

Our credit model is designed to put each asset into a risk category based on the probability of default. Credits are then individually assigned an expected loss, given default. Inputs include specific data describing the characteristics and

attributes of each loan. Certain of those loan characteristics will be used to generate the Probability of Default (PD) and the Loss Given Default (LGD). This provides a firm basis for comparisons across borrowers and collateral types.

This revised IFRS 9 modelling has resulted in a one-time adjustment of -0.54%

Please note, we no longer hedge our foreign exchange exposures and provide details of the USD and EUR allocations in the data provided in the factsheet to allow shareholders to consider their own hedging, if they so required.
