Next Gen Solicitors

Repayment Strategy The Company intends to repay the principle and make interest to Bondholders as follows: •Where a case is successful - through costs awarded and Next Gen Solicitors success fees charged to the claimant / defendant •Where a case is not successful - The ATE policy provides cover in the event that the case is unsuccessful and covers the specialists’s report, any disbursements incurred in running the case such as issue fees and court fees as well as the premium itself. Marketing Professional advisory firms and marketing and wealth management companies will market and advertise the Bonds on behalf of Next Gen Solicitors. Commissions for these services are variable and will be paid directly by the Company and not from the proceeds raised from the Bond issue. Use of Proceeds The proceeds raised from the issue of Bonds will be used to replace existing funding lines and to fund all costs of cases they have identified with a high probability of success. Part of the proceeds raised will be used to repay a loan balance for the acquisition of cases and advance on work in progress. The proceeds will also be used to fund all the costs to identify cases with a high probability of success, including but not limited to Next Gen Solicitors resources, fees paid to specialists to provide analysis and their report, and the costs of ATE insurance. Company Structure The current issued share capital of the Company is 100 Ordinary Shares of £1 in the ownership of Karen Smith.
