JADE ROAD INVESTMENTS LIMITED

("Jade Road Investments", "JADE" or the "Company")

Investment in Heirloom Litigation Finance

Jade Road Investments Limited (AIM: JADE), the London quoted company focused on seeking the best risk-adjusted returns globally, announces a new investment of $250,000 into Heirloom Litigation Funding 2022 SPV XI ("Heirloom Litigation Finance"). The investment was made in support of JADE's updated Investment Policy to invest in attractive, uncorrelated, risk adjusted return opportunities.

This is the second investment made by JADE under its new Investment Policy approved in February 2023. Its first investment, in April 2023, was into an Alternatives fund which invests primarily in asset-backed and/or income-producing opportunities such as equipment leasing, agriculture and infrastructure, and that are highly uncorrelated to the general market.

Heirloom Litigation Finance has issued JADE a 1-year, 14% cash interest debt note, that is backed by a diversified portfolio of disbursement fundings for small consumer litigation claims in the UK, all backed by insurance. Interest is paid quarterly. Unlike many litigation finance opportunities, these claims fall under established precedents or quasi-governmental compensation programs, which are expected to increase the chance of success and reduce the length of time to settlement. The investment is a related party transaction under the Aim rules for Companies as Heirloom Investment Management LLC is a substantial shareholder in the Company and Heirloom Litigation Finance is a self-managed Cayman Islands company wholly owned by Heirloom Holdings. The Directors of the Company consider, having consulted with WH Ireland Limited, the Company's nominated adviser, that the terms of the transactions are fair and reasonable insofar as its shareholders are concerned.

JADE recognizes the importance of genuine diversification in this volatile market, and how alternative investing can reduce volatility and improve returns in an investment portfolio. JADE is pleased to add another investment that would be difficult for most investors to either access or diligence, and which aims to provide genuine diversification and risk-adjusted return enhancement to an investor's portfolio.

John Croft, the Company's Executive Chairman, commented:

"JADE's investment in Heirloom Litigation Funding 2022 SPV XI continues to build on our updated Investment Policy and our commitment to providing our shareholders with a portfolio of investments with solid risk-adjusted global returns. With its strong return profile, insurance -backing, short duration and high coupon, which is paid quarterly, the Heirloom Litigation Finance investment is another step forward in JADE's on-going transformation."
