About the Company
Zaim Credit is the holding company of a Russian based financial services company Zaim-Express LLC ("Zaim") which it acquired on 10 September 2019. Zaim is authorised to conduct microfinance activities and included on the State Registry of Microfinance Organisations (the "Registry") maintained initially as a microcredit organisation ("MCO") by the Russian Ministry of Finance and later, by the Central Bank of Russia ("CBR").
Zaim's MCC status allows it to engage in microfinance activity in the territory of the Russian Federation and since obtaining its authorised status, Zaim has developed a bespoke IT system, created a distribution network and raised debt capital to fund its loan book.
Copies of the Prospectus are available on the Company's website at http://www.zaimcreditsystemsplc.com/en/ and during normal business hours at the registered address of the Company at c/o Hill Dickinson LLP, The Broadgate Tower, 20 Primrose Street, London, EC2A 2EW.
Total Voting Rights
In conformity with Rule 5.6.1 of the FCA's Disclosure Guidance and Transparency Rules, the Company confirms that as from Admission the total number of voting rights in the Company is 436,975,000. This figure may be used by the Company's shareholders as the denominator for the calculations by which they will determine if they are required to notify their interest in, or a change to their interest in, the Company under the Disclosure Guidance and Transparency Rules.
