(AIM: CRW.L), the market leader in Value Cycle solutions for the US
healthcare market, is pleased to announce that following the
satisfaction of certain performance conditions of the loan
agreement entered into in connection with the acquisition of Sentry
Data Systems Inc. ('Sentry'), the Security Trustee (acting on
instructions of the Lenders) has released the securities granted at
the time by the Company and the relevant subsidiaries which
provided security over all of the assets of the Company and
specified assets of the Group. As such the Company is now
unencumbered by this security and is automatically, irrevocably,
and unconditionally released, discharged and terminated of all the
released assets from the fixed and floating charges, Liens and
security interests constituted or intended to be constituted by the

Innovation Banking, and the Company's banking syndicate and their
successors ('the Lenders'), to fund the acquisition of SDS Holdco,
Inc., the ultimate holding company of Sentry on 12th July 2021. The
debt facility comprised a term and revolving facilities agreement
and was secured by a Scots law floating charge, an English law
debenture and a New York law security agreement all of which were
granted by the Company and certain of its subsidiaries as
parties.
