Company”, NASDAQ: AILE), a leader in AI-powered learning automation
and information intelligence for corporate and educational use, is
pleased to announce that the Company has entered into a Loan and
Security Agreement with East West Bank (the “Lender”). This

Following the successful completion of the Business Combination,
the Company’s wholly owned subsidiary, iLearningEngines Holdings,

with the Lender pursuant to which the Lender provided iLE Holdings
with a new senior secured revolving credit facility in a principal

Revolving Facility also provides for an uncommitted accordion
allowing iLE Holdings to increase the revolving commitments by an
additional principal amount of $20 million at iLE Holdings’ option
and upon Lender’s approval. The Revolving Facility has a term of 3
years and outstanding loans under the Revolving Facility bear
interest at a rate equal to the Adjusted Term SOFR rate (with an
interest period of 1 or 3 months at iLE Holdings’ option) plus
3.50% per annum, subject to an Adjusted Term SOFR floor of 4.00%.
iLE Holdings drew the full $40 million at closing, a portion of
which was used to repay in full iLE Holdings’ term loan credit
facilities with Venture Lending & Leasing IX, Inc. and WTI Fund
X, Inc.

in gross proceeds during our successful go public process, and this
