MAR

Mombasa, Kenya - MTI Investment AB (Nasdaq First North: MTI) has entered into a loan agreement which enables MTI to increase its ownership to 44.91% in Fintech Africa. The loan has no instalments and carries a 7% annual interest, which is only payable upon repayment. As a result, the agreement does not affect MTI's liquidity.

The loan proceeds will be used to invest in Fintech Africa, the holding company of Mtaji Wetu Finance Ltd. Additionally, a previous USD 150,000 loan from MTI to Fintech Africa has been converted into equity, further increasing MTI's ownership and strengthening the balance sheet of Mtaji Wetu Finance Ltd. In total MTI's ownership in Fintech Africa will increase by 8.37% to 44.91%.
