Tallinn/Riga/Vilnius, Nasdaq Baltic Market, January 22, 2020 - Nasdaq (NDAQ)
announces that the bonds of CP Funding 1 Plc, a financial intermediary based in
the United Kingdom, were admitted to trading to the Nasdaq Baltic First North
market by Nasdaq Tallinn as of today. 

CP Funding 1 Plc is an issuer of short-term commercial papers, providing a
quick and cost effective way of raising working capital for businesses. The
company uses the proceeds of the commercial papers to provide needed liquidity
solutions for supply chain finance. 

The size of the bond issue admitted to First North is EUR 8 million, with a
nominal value of a bond of EUR 125,000. The maturity date of the bond issue is
February 21, 2020. The bond issue is also listed on the Frankfurt Stock
Exchange. 

"It's good to see a company from outside the Baltic region listing its
securities on our market. I wish them all the best in their entry to the Baltic
public securities market," said Kaarel Ots, CEO of Nasdaq Tallinn. 

"This is our first listing on Nasdaq Baltic First North but should, however, be
followed by many more, as each bond matures," said Stuart Gordon, the Chairman
of Bedford Row Capital. " Nasdaq Baltic First North was the natural exchange on
which to list as CP Funding's clients are primarily Baltic companies, with a
heavy weight to Estonia," he added. 

CP Funding 1 has created a Euro Commercial Paper Programme to issue commercial
papers with a duration of more than 30 days and less than 364 days. To this
day, CP Funding 1 has issued 7 series of commercial papers, of which 6 have
successfully matured.

First North market.

as a first step towards trading on the regulated market.
