PRESS RELEASE: Amsterdam – 14 May 2021. Intertrust N.V. (“Intertrust”) [Euronext: INTER], a global leader in providing tech-enabled corporate and fund solutions to clients operating and investing in international business, announces that on 13 May 2021, the Cayman Islands Monetary Authority (CIMA) issued to Intertrust Corporate Services (Cayman) Limited, a subsidiary of Intertrust N.V., formal notice of an administrative fine in the amount of CI $4,232,607.50 arising from breaches of specific statutory obligations under the Cayman Islands Anti-Money Laundering (AML) Regulations identified during an onsite inspection conducted in February 2020. The breaches alleged are administrative in nature and there is no suggestion that Intertrust has engaged in or facilitated its clients engaging in money laundering activities.

Intertrust recognises the seriousness of the matter and is committed to make every effort to fulfil its role as gatekeeper.
