FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE, 13 March 2023

Federal Reserve to protect all SVB deposit holders.

Update on SVB closure.


ikeGPS Group Limited (“IKE” or the “Company”) (NZX: IKE / ASX: IKE) released earlier today an

announcement relating to its exposure to Silicon Valley Bank’s (“SVB”) closure on U.S. Friday 10

March 2023 by the California Department of Financial Protection and Innovation, which appointed

the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (“FDIC”) as receiver.

As noted in the release, events have remained highly fluid throughout the U.S. weekend.

IKE is pleased to provide an update.

A latest joint-announcement from the US Treasury, Federal Reserve, and FDIC, has stated that all

SVB deposit holders, including IKE, are fully protected.

IKE now therefore expects no impact to its already strong cash position, and that it will fully recover

all approximately US$3.2m, or NZ$5.3m, deposits held with SVB.

IKE maintains its fortress balance sheet position of approximately NZ$19.6m, also noting the high

revenue growth and operating cash flow positive nature of its U.S. operation through FY23.

IKE CEO, Glenn Milnes, commented “We welcome the news that SVB deposits are protected,

having had a difficult few days’ navigating implications and ensuring we have kept shareholders

fully informed. IKE had put in place a diversified cash deposits position in advance of this event,

but this item further underscores this risk-management approach. We look forward to continuing

to build the business.”
