Finacity and Santander CIB facilitate EUR 81.5m receivables securitisation

Finacity Corporation (Finacity) a White Oak Global Advisors company, and Santander CIB announce a successfully launched trade receivables securitization renewal for The Vita Group (Vita), a United Kingdom headquartered leading producer of flexible polyurethane foam.

The renewed securitisation program has refinanced Vita’s maturing receivables facility with a EUR 80m senior funding
commitment granted by Santander CIB as the program’s new senior lender. Furthermore, the securitisation program achieved
accounting derecognition per IFRS as a result of an additional EUR 1.5m in junior funding provided by FAM, a Finacity
subsidiary. The 3-year facility is collateralised by receivables originated by Vita entities in the UK, Netherlands, Germany, France, Italy, Poland, Romania, Hungary, Lithuania and Slovakia.

Finacity and its subsidiaries provided analytic and structuring support, and serve as the ongoing transaction administrator,
arranger, junior investor, and control party. Santander CIB serves as the senior funding provider.

Shadi Iskandar, the CFO of The Vita Group, commented: “This securitisation achieves a medium-term stability and optimisation
to our working capital finance while diversifying our funding sources. We are very pleased with the job that Finacity and
Santander have done in arranging this transaction for Vita and we look forward to a strong continued partnership with both
firms.”
