Follow-On Investment into Existing Royalty Partner

Duke Royalty, a provider of alternative capital solutions to a diversified range of profitable and long-established businesses in Europe and North America, is pleased to announce a follow-on investment of GBP1.8 million into existing royalty partner Tristone Healthcare Limited ("Tristone"), to fund its latest acquisition.

Tristone provides specialist residential, nursing and domiciliary care and support in two end markets: i) high acuity adults with severe mental, physical or learning disabilities; and ii) children and young people who require care, support and specialist education.

Highlights:

-- Duke's funds will facilitate Tristone's acquisition of South West Intervention Services Limited, trading as SWIS, a provider of bespoke learning packages to young people who may be at risk of exclusion from education, in Buckfastleigh, near Plymouth

-- The financing increases Duke's total investment in Tristone to GBP19.4 million. The investment terms are the same as Duke's previous follow-on investment into Tristone, including a starting yield of 13.5% and a +/- 6% annual revenue adjustment factor in respect of royalty payments due

-- SWIS represents Tristone's fourth acquisition supported by Duke, in line with Tristone's stated buy & build strategy

Neil Johnson, CEO of Duke Royalty, said:

"I'm excited to see Tristone further strengthen its position in the social care sector via the acquisition of SWIS. Given the outstanding level of care that they provide, SWIS is a natural fit for Tristone, and will also add new specialisms to Tristone's expanding portfolio."
