**Summary**
MHP SE, a leading international food and agricultural group with Ukrainian roots and one of Europes largest poultry producers, announced the launch of a tap offering on February 3, 2026. The offering involves issuing additional 10.500% notes due 2029 (Additional Notes) through its subsidiary MHP Lux S.A., which will be consolidated with the existing U.S.$450 million 10.500% notes issued in January 2026 (Original Notes). The proceeds from both the Additional Notes and Original Notes will be used to fund a tender offer and redeem the entire U.S.$550 million of MHP Lux S.A.s 6.95% Notes due 2026. This strategy replaces the previously planned use of U.S.$100 million in internal cash for partial repayment, allowing the retained cash to be allocated for future investments, capital expenditures, and operational needs outside Ukraine.
The announcement includes legal disclaimers, emphasizing that the offering is not directed at investors in the United States, Australia, Canada, Japan, or Ukraine, and complies with specific regulatory restrictions in the UK and Cyprus. The securities are available only to eligible investors, and the announcement is not intended as investment advice or a public offer in restricted jurisdictions. Questions or concerns can be directed to MHP SEs IR Director or Senior Independent Director.

The company has identified a proposed offtake partner for gold production, with formal agreements expected to be finalized this month.

**Summary**
Fintel plc, a leading UK fintech and support services provider, released a trading update for the year ended 31 December 2025, highlighting significant strategic and financial progress. The company reported a 10% revenue increase to £85.9 million, driven by both organic and inorganic growth, with SaaS & Subscription revenue rising 10% to £48.7 million, representing 57% of total revenue. Adjusted EBITDA grew by 17% to £25.9 million, exceeding market expectations. Fintel’s strong balance sheet includes £17.3 million in cash and £72.5 million in headroom within its £120 million Revolving Credit Facility, supporting further investment in organic growth and acquisitions.
Strategically, Fintel successfully implemented a simplified operating structure, dividing the business into two divisions: "Software & Data" and "Services." This transformation accelerates the shift to a recurring revenue model and enhances its technology-driven platform. Key initiatives include the launch of Defaqto Matrix360 market intelligence software, digital compliance solutions, and the Omnicore whole-of-market distribution platform. The acquisition of Pearson Hams Market Pricing Business in January 2026 further strengthens the Software & Data division.
Looking ahead, Fintel is well-positioned to capitalize on rising demand for technology, data, and regulatory support in the UK retail financial services market. The company will announce its Full Year Results on 17 March 2026 and host a Capital Markets Event on 23 April 2026. CEO Matt Timmins emphasized 2025 as a transformational year, with Fintel entering 2026 with a strong foundation for growth, supported by market-leading solutions and a resilient business model.
