Re: Financing

ILX Group plc, the AIM quoted business education and training specialist, is pleased to announce that banking facilities totaling £6.0 million have been agreed with Barclays Bank plc.
  
The new facilities, which are on improved terms to the Company’s current facilities, comprise a £5.0 million amortising term loan, repayable over four years, and a confidential invoice finance facility of £1.0 million.

The facilities will be used to refinance £2.2 million of existing debts and will also be applied to pay in cash the remaining £1.0 million balance on the first earn-out payment due to the vendors of the Corporate Training Group (“CTG”).

The balance of the facilities are available to finance the final CTG earn-out payment, which the Board expects to be earned in full and becomes payable on 30 June 2008 by way of £1.0 million in cash and £1.5 million in cash or new ordinary shares at the Company’s option, and to fund future growth of the business.

Ken Scott, Chief Executive of ILX Group commented:
“The Board is very pleased with our new banker’s support of ILX Group and this improved facility is a demonstrable measure of confidence in the company’s future prospects”.

Lee Everson, Relationship Director, Barclays Commercial Bank said:
"ILX Group is a market leading business with a proven management team.  Their potential for growth is undoubtedly strong and we are therefore delighted to be supporting them with their plans."
