African Medical Investments plc ('African Medical' or 'the Company')

Loan Note Instrument

African Medical Investments plc, the AIM listed company operating in the African healthcare sector, announces that the Company has raised US$375,000 by way of a subscription for loan notes (the 'Loan Notes') by Harbinger Capital Partners Master Fund I, Ltd ('Harbinger') under a newly constituted loan note instrument.

The funds raised will be used to provide additional working capital which will be employed to consolidate the Company's position as a leading provider of high quality healthcare through private hospitals in Africa.

The Loan Notes, which are unsecured, carry an 18% per annum coupon (compounded annually) which is repayable with the principal. The Loan Notes are repayable, at the latest, on 2 February 2016, or earlier in other limited circumstances including certain events of default. The Loan Notes may also be repaid at any time at the discretion of the Company.

As Harbinger is a substantial shareholder in African Medical, the issue of the Loan Notes constitutes a related party transaction under the AIM Rules for Companies. The Board, other than Joseph Cleverdon and Altaf Mackeen, the Harbinger nominated directors, having consulted with Seymour Pierce Limited, the Company's nominated adviser, consider the terms of the Loan Notes to be fair and reasonable insofar as shareholders are concerned.

Notes

African Medical Investments plc (AIM: AMEI) provides international standard healthcare through private hospitals across Africa, targeting the expanding African middle classes and the expatriate, non-governmental organisations, diplomatic and tourist markets. The Company owns and operates private hospitals in Dar es Salaam, Maputo and Harare. Its current focus is on improving occupancy rates and optimising the space of these facilities, however expansion remains a longer term focus either through the construction of new hospitals or investments in existing facilities.
