Duke Royalty Limited

("Duke Royalty" or "Duke")

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 £2.80 million into its existing royalty partner, InTec Business Solutions Limited ("InTec"), to fund its latest acquisition as well as for the settlement of deferred consideration in relation to a previous acquisition.

InTec is an investment holding company created to execute a buy and build strategy of synergistic companies within the I.T. managed services sector in the United Kingdom and Ireland.

Highlights:

·    Duke's investment will facilitate InTec's acquisition of Sweethaven Computers Limited ("Sweethaven"), a managed IT services provider to SMEs with a primary focus on securing long term relationships and contracts within the education sector.

·     The financing increases Duke's total investment into InTec to £23.9 million. The investment terms will remain in line with Duke's previous follow-on investment into InTec, including the normal 6% annual adjustment factor.

Neil Johnson, CEO of Duke Royalty, said:

"The acquisition of Sweethaven marks an exciting step forward for InTec, as it bolsters the company's existing education-focused offering and expands our scale and credibility within the public education sector. There is a strong cultural fit between InTec and Sweethaven, and we look forward to seeing the positive impact that this new addition will have within the wider group."
