        Extension of Device Authority Convertible Note Maturity Date 
 
Tern Plc (AIM: TERN), the investment company specialising in the Internet of 
     Things ("IoT"), announces that all loan noteholders in Tern's portfolio 
company, Device Authority Limited ("DA"), have agreed to extend the maturity 
  date of all outstanding convertible [secured] loan notes provided to DA to 
                30 June 2019 (the "DA Loan"). 
 
   The total funds secured by DA through these facilities from DA's existing 
     shareholders, including Tern, is US$2,890,650. Tern's total convertible 
 secured loan note position with DA, which is now repayable on 30 June 2019,

Al Sisto, CEO of Tern, said: "We are very pleased to continue supporting DA, 
along with the other loan noteholders, given the progress it has been making 
        with its marketing partners in securing contracts. Most recently, we 
   announced that DA had won a five year contract anticipated to be worth in 
  excess of $1 million over its lifetime and we look forward to reporting on 
         DA's future achievements as it continues to expand its presence and 
                recognition within the IoT security market."
