         Leumi ABL has provided a £12.5m structured ABL and term loan facility to support the
         refinancing of Private Equity owned brands business, Vivona Brands. The refinancing provides

         a flexible funding package to support Vivona’s rapidly expanding international business.

         Simon Russell, Exec Chairman of Vivona Brands, said: “We are delighted to have secured this funding
         from Leumi ABL to support our continued growth. Leumi have taken the time to understand the intricacies
         of our business and the international market dynamics in which we operate and structured a facility
         to meet our requirements. We have already developed a close relationship with Leumi and look forward
         to their continued support.”

         and extended transaction during which we appreciated working with highly committed management
         at Vivona Brands. The structure of our facilities, aligned to the sponsor support, provides an apposite
