THIS ANNOUNCEMENT AND THE INFORMATION CONTAINED HEREIN IS NOT FOR RELEASE, PUBLICATION OR DISTRIBUTION, DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY, IN OR INTO, THE UNITED STATES, AUSTRALIA, CANADA, JAPAN, THE REPUBLIC OF SOUTH AFRICA OR ANY EEA STATE (OTHER THAN A MEMBER STATE OF THE EEA WHERE THE COMPANY'S SECURITIES MAY BE LAWLFULLY MARKETED) OR ANY OTHER JURISDICTION WHERE TO DO SO WOULD CONSTITUTE A VIOLATION OF THE RELEVANT LAWS OR REGULATIONS OF SUCH JURISDICTION.

This announcement has been determined to contain inside information for the purposes of the UK version of the EU Market Abuse Regulation (EU) No 596/2014 which is part of UK law by virtue of the European Union (Withdrawal) Act 2018, as amended and supplemented from time to time.

DP Aircraft I Limited

Proposed issue of equity

As previously noted in the interim accounts for the period ended 30^th June 2024, the Board of Directors of DP Aircraft I Limited (the "Company") intends to raise new equity of up to US$1 million in Q4 2024 in order to provide the Company with additional working capital. The Board has now determined to proceed with a fundraising through the issue of new ordinary shares in the capital of the Company ("New Ordinary Shares") by way of tap issuance (the "Tap Issue").

The Tap Issue will provide for the issue of up to 16,666,667 New Ordinary Shares at a price of US$0.06 per Share, thereby raising gross proceeds of up to US$1 million. The Tap Issue is being undertaken at a price which represents a significant discount to the Company's unaudited NAV per Ordinary Share, which was US$0.18751 as at 30 June 2024. At the Company's most recent Annual General Meeting, held on 19 September 2023, authority was granted by shareholders for the issue of up to 47,866,666 Ordinary Shares at a price which is less than the prevailing NAV per Ordinary Share.

The Tap Issue will be launched immediately following this announcement. To register their interest in participating in the Tap Issue, potential investors should communicate their applications for New Ordinary Shares to their usual contact at Investec. The Tap Issue is expected to close at 10.00 a.m. (London time) on Friday, 15 November 2024 but may close earlier or later at the discretion of the Company and Investec.

The Tap Issue will be made to qualified investors (as defined in Article 2(e) of the UK version of the Prospectus Regulation (EU 2017/1129) which forms part of UK law by virtue of the European Union (Withdrawal) Act 2018, as amended), and will be subject to the terms and conditions set out in the Appendix to this announcement.

Allocations of New Ordinary Shares

The number of New Ordinary Shares to be issued will be agreed between Investec and the Company following the close of the Tap Issue and announced shortly thereafter. In the event that applications from investors in aggregate exceed the number of New Ordinary Shares available under the Tap Issue, it is expected that precedence will be given to applications from shareholders on the Company's share register as at close of business on 31 October 2024. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Investec may choose to accept applications, either in whole or in part, on the basis of allocations determined in agreement with the Company, and may scale down any applications for this purpose on such basis as the Company and Investec may determine.

Application for Admission

Application will be made for admission of the New Ordinary Shares to trading on the Specialist Fund Segment of the London Stock Exchange's main market for listed securities (the "SFS") ("Admission"). It is expected that Admission will become effective, and that dealings in the New Ordinary Shares on the SFS will commence, on Tuesday, 19 November 2024.

Expected Timetable

Information about the Company

Thai Airways Leases

The Company's two aircraft are now operating on fixed monthly lease payments with Thai Airways ("Thai") until October/December 2026 respectively. As previously noted, the lease terms were extended by a further three years to October/December 2029, with further scaled back monthly lease payments starting from November 2026/January 2027. The Company retains a right of early termination regarding this three year extension after consultation with the Company's lending banks (the "Lenders"). As the lease agreements currently stand, Thai are required to return the aircraft at the end of the lease terms in full life condition, which would incur significant costs for Thai.

The Company is now in discussions with Thai regarding proposals to amend the current lease arrangements. Following consultation with the Lenders, it has been agreed that the Company will inform Thai by April 2025 whether or not the early termination option under the leases will be exercised. As an ongoing obligation, the Company is required to inform the Lenders of any negotiations and or consultation which it has with Thai regarding any restructuring of the lease arrangements.

Current Debt Financing

The Company's current debt finance arrangements with the Lenders expire at the end of 2026. In this respect the Company can (i) negotiate to extend the loans with the existing Lenders, (ii) refinance the loans with new lenders or (iii) sell the aircraft ahead of the leases expiring at the end of 2026.  Discussions with the Lenders on possible next steps commenced in October 2024. 

Whilst there is a requirement that by October 2025 the Company will provide the Lenders with information on the steps it is taking to refinance or to re-market the aircraft, followed by a Term Sheet by no later than August 2026, the Board believes that there is a willingness amongst the Lenders to consider an extension of the debt facilities from 2026 to 2029 on the basis that Thai will likely come out of rehabilitation in the first half of 2025, bringing a corresponding reduction in counterparty risk.

As at 31 October 2024, the Company had approximately US$83.3m of debt outstanding to the Lenders. The expected level of outstanding debt at loan maturity at 31 December 2026 is US$70.0m.

The Company will enter into discussions with the Lenders to reduce the debt outstanding by US$3m per aircraft at loan maturity. The respective amounts currently represent restricted cash which is a portion of the maintenance reserves held on pledged accounts and owed to the Company.

Strategy

While the situation may change, the current preferred option for the Company is for the sale of the aircraft with a lease attached which reflects improved market terms and conditions. The Board and the Asset Manager remain fully committed to extracting the best value for shareholders in this process and are focussed on actions to improve and preserve the value of the assets. The Board and the Asset Manager are still in the process of considering and reviewing the various options available before recommending a preferred path. Necessarily this will involve the proactive involvement of the Company's Lenders, advisors and current lessee.

Boeing 787

The Board and Asset Manager believe the Boeing 787 remains an attractive asset and note recent transaction activity in the market involving 787s (albeit transparency around transaction values is currently limited). Boeing 787 wide body production is still behind historic levels and delayed deliveries for new aircraft are further strengthening demand. The Board notes that whilst the 787 aircraft is now key to Thai, the Company's aircraft type are the smaller 8 series with the Rolls Royce engine option and that all new wide bodied aircraft Thai propose to add to their fleet are the GE powered, larger 787-9 variant. A key priority for the Company is progressing discussions with Thai on how the Company's aircraft might fit into the overall Thai fleet strategy and to what extent existing arrangements can be enhanced for the mutual benefit of both parties.

Dividend

As previously noted, there is no realistic prospect of the Company's shareholders receiving a dividend or other distribution prior to the end of the lease terms. The key uncertainty remains the outlook for Thai (albeit the position of Thai has improved considerably), the impact of inflation on the travel industry and the knock-on effect these factors may have on aircraft values and lease rentals.

Other Opportunities

The Board believes the aircraft will have long useful lives after 2026 (and 2029) and notes the supportive backdrop of increased demand for aircraft in the industry. The Board intends to explore all options available that might benefit shareholders, including alternative options to an extension with Thai. As to the latter, to date exploratory discussions have taken place with certain third parties, but it is premature to speculate on any potential outcomes.

Use of Proceeds

The primary use of the proposed new equity is for ongoing working capital requirements. This fund raising is not intended to cover the costs of a refinancing, re-leasing or sale. It is currently assumed that some of these costs can be funded from a US$1 million deposit facility agreed with the Lenders, though it is unclear at this stage what total costs may be for these activities and further funding may be required.

Cash Position

As at 31 October 2024, the Company had c.US$690k of cash on its balance sheet and c.US$193k of ongoing accruals, excluding deferred amounts payable to the Asset Manager, Broker and the Directors of c.US$1.1 million. Under the terms agreed with the Lenders, the Company is permitted a total monthly payment of US$70k out of the lease payments made by Thai. After accounting for this income, the cash outflow for the Company for the year ended 30 June 2024 amounted to approximately US$325k.

Notwithstanding unavoidable cost increases and inflationary pressures, with respect to ongoing working capital requirements, the Company has been able to control the net cash burn by reducing certain costs and by deferring amounts due to some service providers.

Aircraft Valuation

Average valuations for HS-TQC and HS-TQD as at 30 June 2024, based on valuations provided by two independent valuers, were as follows:

(Base Value is the appraiser's opinion of the underlying economic value of an aircraft in an open, unrestricted, stable market environment with a reasonable balance of supply and demand, and assumes full consideration of its "highest and best use." An aircraft's Base Value is founded in the historical trend of values and in the projection of value trends and presumes an arm's-length, cash transaction between willing, able and knowledgeable parties, acting prudently, with an absence of duress and with a reasonable period of time available for marketing. Market Value is the appraiser's opinion of the most likely trading price that may be generated for an aircraft under the market circumstances that are perceived to exist at the time in question. Market Value assumes that the aircraft is valued for its highest, best use, that the parties to the hypothetical sale transaction are willing, able, prudent and knowledgeable, and under no unusual pressure for a prompt sale, and that the transaction would be negotiated in an open and unrestricted market on an arm's-length basis, for cash or equivalent consideration, and given an adequate amount of time for effective exposure to prospective buyers.)

Information to Distributors

Solely for the purposes of the product governance requirements contained within: (a) EU Directive 2014/65/EU on markets in financial instruments, as amended ("MiFID II"); (b) Articles 9 and 10 of Commission Delegated Directive (EU) 2017/593 supplementing MiFID II; (c) local implementing measures; and/or (d) (where applicable to UK investors or UK firms) the relevant provisions of the UK MiFID Laws (including the FCA's Product Intervention and Governance Sourcebook ("PROD")) (together the "MiFID II Product Governance Requirements"), and disclaiming all and any liability, whether arising in tort, contract or otherwise, which any ''manufacturer'' (for the purposes of the MiFID II Product Governance Requirements) may otherwise have with respect thereto, the New Ordinary Shares have been subject to a product approval process, which has determined that the New Ordinary Shares are: (i) compatible with an end target market of (a) investors who meet the criteria of professional clients and (b) eligible counterparties, each as defined in MiFID II; and (ii) eligible for distribution through all distribution channels as are permitted by MiFID II (the "Target Market Assessment").

Notwithstanding the Target Market Assessment, distributors should note that: the price of the New Ordinary Shares may decline and investors could lose all or part of their investment; the New Ordinary Shares offer no guaranteed income and no capital protection; and an investment in the New Ordinary Shares is compatible only with investors who do not need a guaranteed income or capital protection, who (either alone or in conjunction with an appropriate financial or other adviser) are capable of evaluating the merits and risks of such an investment and who have sufficient resources to be able to bear any losses that may result therefrom. The Target Market Assessment is without prejudice to the requirements of any contractual, legal or regulatory selling restrictions in relation to the Tap Issue.

For the avoidance of doubt, the Target Market Assessment does not constitute: (a) an assessment of suitability or appropriateness for the purposes of MiFID II; or (b) a recommendation to any investor or Company of investors to invest in, or purchase, or take any other action whatsoever with respect to New Ordinary Shares. Each distributor is responsible for undertaking its own target market assessment in respect of the New Ordinary Shares and determining appropriate distribution channels.

Investec reserves the right to require settlement for and delivery of the relevant New Ordinary Shares to Applicants by such other means as it may deem necessary, if delivery or settlement is not possible or practicable within the CREST system within the timetable set out in this Announcement (including this Appendix) or would not be consistent with the regulatory requirements in the Applicant's jurisdiction.

7.2          Each Applicant allocated New Ordinary Shares in the Tap Issue will be sent a trade confirmation stating the number of New Ordinary Shares allocated to it, the aggregate amount owed by such Applicant to Investec and settlement instructions. Applicants should settle against CREST Participant ID: 331.

7.3          It is expected that settlement will be on a T+2 basis in accordance with the instructions set out in the trade confirmation. Trade confirmations will be despatched on or around 15 November 2024 and this will also be the trade date in respect thereof.

7.4          Interest is chargeable daily on payments not received from Applicants on the due date in accordance with the arrangements set out above at the rate of 2 percentage points above the base rate of Barclays Bank Plc.

7.5          Each Applicant is deemed to agree that if it does not comply with these obligations, Investec may sell any or all of the New Ordinary Shares allocated to the Applicant on such Applicant's behalf and retain from the proceeds, for their own account and profit, an amount equal to the aggregate amount owed by the Applicant plus any interest due. The Applicant will, however, remain liable for any shortfall below the aggregate amount owed by such Applicant and it may be required to bear any tax or other charges (together with any interest or penalties) which may arise upon the sale of such New Ordinary Shares on such Applicant's behalf.

7.6          If New Ordinary Shares are to be delivered to a custodian or settlement agent, the Applicant should ensure that the trade confirmation is copied and delivered immediately to the relevant person within that organisation.

7.7          Insofar as New Ordinary Shares are registered in the Applicant's name or that of its nominee or in the name of any person for whom the Applicant is contracting as agent or that of a nominee for such person, such New Ordinary Shares will, subject as provided below, be so registered free from any liability to PTM levy, stamp duty or stamp duty reserve tax. If there are any circumstances in which any other stamp duty or stamp duty reserve tax is payable in respect of the issue of the New Ordinary Shares, neither Investec nor the Company shall be responsible for the payment thereof. Applicants will not be entitled to receive any fee or commission in connection with the Tap Issue.

8.29       where it or any person acting on behalf of it is dealing with Investec, any money held in an account with Investec on behalf of it and/or any person acting on behalf of it will not be treated as client money within the meaning of the relevant rules and regulations of the Financial Conduct Authority which therefore will not require Investec to segregate such money, as that money will be held by Investec under a banking relationship and not as trustee;

8.30       any of its clients, whether or not identified to Investec or any of its Affiliates or agents, will remain its sole responsibility and will not become clients of Investec or any of its Affiliates or agents for the purposes of the rules of the Financial Conduct Authority or for the purposes of any other statutory or regulatory provision;

9.6          that if any New Ordinary Shares are issued in certificated form (or if a request to rematerialize uncertificated New Ordinary Shares into certificated form is made), then such certificates evidencing ownership will contain a legend substantially to the following effect unless otherwise determined by the Company in accordance with applicable law:
