Ferratum Capital Germany GmbH successfully aligns terms of its bonds

Helsinki, 16 October 2019 - Ferratum Oyj (ISIN: FI4000106299, WKN: A1W9NS) ("Ferratum" or the "Group") announced yesterday the successful completion of the written procedure in relation to Ferratum Capital Germany GmbHs ("the issuer") outstanding up to EUR 150,000,000 senior unsecured bond loan 2018/2022 with ISIN SE0011167972.

The Group is pleased that the vast majority of bondholders agreed on the benefits of the alignment of the Net Debt to Equity covenant with the issuers other bond (ISIN SE0012453835) with a net-debt to equity ratio of 3.5x. This allows the Group to continue its strategically important transition towards providing its customers with larger, longer-term loans (e.g. Primeloans, Credit Limit and loans to Small and Medium size Enterprises). The product category evolution results in an increased customer lifetime value. This, in turn, also leads to an improved risk profile of Ferratum, as the customers targeted for e.g. Primeloans are on the higher end of the Group's scoring classes.

The transition towards lower risk products opens a vast segment of customers with better payment behavior and a lower credit risk, while also increasing the Group's readiness to deal with further changes in the interest rate environment.

Jorma Jokela, CEO of the Group commented:

"Our strategy of delivering sustainable, profitable growth builds on the solid support from our fixed income investor base. I would like to take the opportunity to thank our investors for their continued support and trust in our strategy of shifting towards longer term products with an improved customer lifetime value. "
