Completion of Share Purchase Acquisition

Alpha Growth Plc (LSE: ALGW and OTCQB: ALPGF), a leading financial services specialist in the growing longevity asset class, is pleased to announce that it has now successfully completed its previously announced share purchase acquisition of Northstar Group (Bermuda) Ltd, a Bermuda based holding company and its wholly owned insurance company, Providence Life Assurance Company Ltd.

The acquisition has been fully approved by the Bermuda Monetary Authority.

Gobind Sahney and Jason Sutherland will be joining the board of both companies and will be focused on aggressively growing the business through a build and buy strategy, they will also be working to ensure that Alpha benefits from the significant synergistic opportunities.

As highlighted during our RNS of 11(th) February, this is a transformative deal for Alpha and represents a significant building block in the company's continued evolution. The transaction substantially increases the scale of Alpha's advisory business and provides a solid foundation for future growth.

Providence specializes in providing customized life insurance products to ultra-high net worth individuals to serve their financial planning needs, it is headquartered in Bermuda and focuses on two primary lines of business: private placement variable life insurance policies and private placement variable annuities with over $275 million in segregated assets.

The transaction brings the total assets managed under the Company's organization to over $300 million and provides us with the scale required to ensure we are an attractive proposition for investors and clients.

Gobind Sahney, Executive Chairman of Alpha, commented:

"I would like to thank all the various stakeholders and advisors who have contributed to completing this important milestone in Alpha's journey to becoming a significant financial services organisation in the longevity asset sector."

"Our aim is to help our clients both build and protect wealth, whilst also generating significant returns for our shareholders. The completion of this acquisition is an incredibly positive step in this journey and is just one of several exciting initiatives we have been working on."

As a further update, significant progress continues to be made with the Warehouse Loan/Short Term Credit Facility provider. We have now identified opportunities for direct asset purchases and will update our shareholders during April. Upon a successful conclusion, these asset purchases will further contribute to our assets under management and fee structure.

About Alpha Growth plc

Specialist in Longevity Assets

Alpha Growth plc is a financial advisory business providing specialist consultancy, advisory, and supplementary services to institutional and qualified investors globally in the multi-billion dollar market of longevity assets. Building on its well-established network, the Alpha Growth group has a unique position in the longevity asset services and investment business, as a listed entity with global reach. The group's strategy is to expand its advisory and business services via acquisitions and joint ventures in the UK and the US to attain commercial scale and provide holistic solutions to alternative institutional investors who are in need of specialised skills and unique access to deploy their financial resource in longevity assets.

Longevity Assets and Non-correlation

As a longevity asset, it is non-correlated to the real estate, equity capital and commodity markets. Its value is a function of time because as time passes the value gets closer to the face value of the policy. Hence creating a steady increase in the net asset value of the investment. This makes it highly attractive to investors wishing to counteract volatility within an investment portfolio and add yield.

Note: The Company only advises on and manages Longevity Assets that originate in the USA where the structured and life settlement market is highly regulated.
