The PDMR tables below reflect the position following Kingswood's decision to drawdown the remaining £3.15 million available for drawdown under its existing convertible term loan facility with KPI (Nominees) Limited ("KPI") (the "Drawdown"). KPI is owned by Kingswood Property Finance Limited Partnership, a private investment partnership wholly owned by Gary Wilder, CEO and Jonathan Massing, Non-Executive Deputy Chairman of the Group.

The Drawdown will provide the Company with the additional funds to enable it to satisfy upcoming investment obligations and for general working capital purposes.

The Board confirms FY19 trading remains in line with management's expectations, with restructuring now largely complete and the Group positioned for a strong second half of the year.

Corporate Update

The Board confirms that the potential provider of substantial permanent growth capital has now concluded due diligence and is in advanced negotiations with the Company in relation to the terms of a proposed investment in the Company. The investment would be subject to applicable regulatory and shareholder approvals and, if finalised and approved, allow the Company to pursue its pipeline of potential acquisition opportunities.  The Company expects to provide a further update in the near future.
