“The LTV levels offer better credit protection, being eight to 10 percentage points lower than anticipated, at a weighted average of 60.3%.

“We have been able to negotiate conservative pre-sales levels which also offer enhanced risk mitigation.

“In addition, funding commitments that are both secured and in the pipeline are at a significant quantum.

“We have increased our headcount to help execute the enhanced deal pipeline and asset management relationships, and I am delighted with how the entire expanded team has stepped up to [achieve] our targets and the new reporting and governance requirements of being a listed company.”
