Dear Shareholder,

Notice of Annual General Meeting

Triple Point Social Housing REIT plc (the "Company") will be holding its 2021 Annual General Meeting ("AGM") at 11.00 a.m. on 14 May 2021 at 1 King William Street, London EC4N 7AF. The formal notice of AGM and the resolutions to be proposed are set out on pages 2 to 4 of this document.

Coronavirus (COVID-19)

As a result of the UK Government's current guidance on social distancing and prohibition on non-essential travel and public gatherings due to the COVID-19 pandemic, shareholders will not be permitted to attend the AGM. The AGM will be convened in accordance with the Company's Articles of Association and in line with UK Government guidance. Voting on the resolutions to be proposed at the AGM will be conducted on a poll, rather than a show of hands. Therefore, shareholders are encouraged to vote via proxy, and where possible, vote by proxy online, using www.investorcentre.co.uk/eproxy, electing the Chairman of the meeting as proxy as no other proxy will be permitted to attend the meeting. Shareholders may submit questions to the Board in advance of the AGM by emailing such questions to [email protected].

The Board is closely monitoring the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic in the United Kingdom, and should UK Government's guidance change, a further announcement will be made. The health of our shareholders and colleagues remains our priority and the steps set out above are necessary to ensure their well-being during the COVID-19 pandemic.

Directors' Remuneration Policy (the "Policy")

As provided for in clause 18.4 of the Articles of Association and the Directors' appointment letter, the revised Directors' Remuneration Policy includes a provision for an additional fee where a Director undertakes any special task for, or consultancy role with the Company which falls outside the scope of the ordinary duties of a non-executive director. Whilst there is no present intention to exercise this provision, as was envisaged at IPO and included in the Articles of Association, the additional fee is to allow for flexibility, where it is considered appropriate, for the Director to provide such additional services as is required for the effective functioning of the Company or in furtherance of the Company's aims. The additional fee element recognises the additional time commitment required by a Director to provide such services where doing so would be in the best interest of the Company, for example, as a result of a Director's specific knowledge of the Company or for cost efficiencies.

As at the date of this notice, no discretion is intended to be exercised under the Directors' Remuneration Policy.

Recommendation

The Board considers that all resolutions contained in this AGM notice are in the best interests of the Company and its shareholders as a whole and are most likely to promote the success of the Company for the benefit of its shareholders as a whole. The Board unanimously recommends that you vote in favour of the proposed resolutions as the Directors intend to do in respect of their own beneficial holdings.

Yours faithfully,

Chris Phillips Chairman (Company Number 10814022)

By order of the Board Hanway Advisory Limited Company Secretary

Registered Office: 1 King William Street London EC4N 7AF United Kingdom (Company Number 10814022)

Explanatory Notes to the Resolutions

An explanation of each of the resolutions is set out below.

Resolutions 1 to 12 (inclusive) are proposed as ordinary resolutions. This means that for each of these resolutions to be passed, more than half of the votes cast must be in favour of the resolution. Resolutions 13 to 16 (inclusive) are proposed as special resolutions. This means that for each of those resolutions to be passed, at least threequarters of the votes cast must be in favour of the resolution.

Report and Accounts

Resolution 1

The Directors of the Company are required to present the Annual Report and Accounts to the meeting.

Directors' Remuneration Report Resolution 2

The Directors' Remuneration Report provides details of the remuneration paid to the Directors during the year ended 31 December 2020.

Resolution 2, in line with current legislation, will be an advisory vote and will not affect the way in which the pay policy has been implemented or the future remuneration that is paid to any Director. The Remuneration Report can be found in the Company's Annual Report and Accounts on pages 90 to 92.

Directors' Remuneration Policy Resolution 3

The current remuneration policy was approved by the majority of shareholders at the Company's annual general meeting held on 10 May 2018 with such approval expiring at the AGM. The Board seeks approval for the new Directors' Remuneration Policy to be approved for a further three years from the conclusion of the AGM. All remuneration payments and payments for loss of office to Directors following the date of the AGM have to be consistent with the approved policy. Shareholders will be asked to approve the policy again at the Company's 2024 annual general meeting. If the Company believes it is necessary to introduce a new remuneration policy or make changes to the existing approved policy before this date, such new or revised remuneration policy will be submitted to shareholders for approval at either an annual general meeting or other general meeting.

The Policy is set out in the Company's Annual Report and Accounts on pages 88 to 89.

As provided for in clause 18.4 of the Articles of Association and the Directors' appointment letters, the revised Directors' Remuneration Policy includes a provision for an additional fee where a Director undertakes any special task for, or consultancy role with the Company which falls outside the scope of the ordinary duties of a non-executive director.

As at the date of this notice, no discretion is intended to be exercised under the Directors' Remuneration Policy.

Directors Resolutions 4 to 8

These resolutions are to approve the election or re-election of the Directors of the Board. In accordance with provision 23 of the AIC Code of Corporate Governance (published in February 2019), all Directors will be subject to annual re-election and will retire and those willing to serve again will submit themselves for election or re-election. The Directors believe that the Board offers a combination of skills, experience and knowledge and that all the nonexecutive Directors are independent in character and judgement.

The Board considers that the performance of each Director continues to be effective and demonstrates the commitment required to continue in their present roles, and that each Director's contribution continues to be important to the Company's longterm sustainable success. This consideration is based on, amongst other things, the business skills and industry experience of each of the Directors (refer to the biographical details of each Director as set out below), as well as their knowledge and understanding of the Company's business model.

The Board has also considered the other contributions which individual Directors may make to the work of the Board, with a view to ensuring that:

  • (i) the Board maintains a diverse balance of skills, knowledge, backgrounds and capabilities leading to effective decision-making;
  • (ii) each Director is able to commit the appropriate time necessary to fulfilling their roles; and
  • (iii) each Director provides constructive challenge, strategic guidance, offers specialist advice and holds third party service providers to account.

Further details of the review of the Board's effectiveness are set out on pages 76 to 77 of the Annual Report and Accounts.

Biographical details of each of the Directors are as follows:

Auditors

Resolution 9

The Company is required to appoint auditors at each general meeting at which accounts are laid, to hold office until the conclusion of the next such meeting. The Company's Audit Committee has recommended to the Board the re-appointment of BDO LLP and the Board has endorsed this recommendation. This resolution therefore proposes the re-appointment of BDO LLP as auditors of the Company.

Resolution 10

This resolution is to authorise the Audit Committee to determine the remuneration of the Auditors.

Directors' authority to allot shares Resolution 11

The purpose of this resolution is to provide the Directors with authority to allot shares.

The authority given to Directors to allot further shares in the capital of the Company requires the prior authorisation of the shareholders in general meeting under section 551 of the Act.

The authority in this resolution will allow the Directors to allot new shares in the Company or to grant rights to subscribe for or convert any security into shares in the Company up to an aggregate nominal amount of £1,342,630 (134,263,000 Ordinary Shares), which is equivalent to approximately one third of the current issued ordinary share capital of the Company as at 4 March 2021 (being the last practicable day prior to the publication of this notice). The authority will expire immediately following the Company's 2022 AGM or on 14 August 2022, whichever is the earlier.

The authority in paragraph (b) will allow the Directors to allot new shares or to grant rights to subscribe for or convert any security into shares in the Company only in connection with a pre-emptive rights issue up to an aggregate nominal value of £2,685,260 (268,526,001 Ordinary Shares), which is approximately two thirds of the Company's issued share capital as at 4 March 2021 (inclusive of the nominal value of £1,342,630 sought under paragraph (a) of the resolution). This is in line with corporate governance guidelines. There is no present intention to exercise this authority.

The authority is in addition to the authorities obtained at the Company's general meeting held on 21 October 2020 in connection with the Company's placing programme (which shall expire on 29 September 2021).

The Directors intend to renew these authorities at each AGM, in accordance with current best practice.

As at 4 March 2021 (being the latest practicable date before the publication of this notice), the Company held 450,000 Ordinary Shares in treasury, which represents approximately 0.11 per cent. of the total Ordinary Share capital in issue at that date.

Dividends

Resolution 12

The Company currently pays four dividends per annum and to date these have been declared as "interim" dividends. The alternative to this would be to declare three interim dividends with the final dividend being proposed as a "final" dividend. However, a final dividend would require shareholder approval which would delay payment of the dividend. To avoid this potential delay, the Company will propose a dividend policy at each AGM that enables the Company to pay all of its dividends as "interim" dividends and for the last dividend not to be categorised as a "final" dividend that is subject to shareholder approval.

Disapplication of pre-emption rights Resolutions 13 and 14

If the Directors wish to exercise the authority under Resolution 11 to allot new shares or grant rights over shares or sell treasury shares for cash (other than pursuant to an employee share scheme), company law requires that these shares are first offered to existing shareholders in proportion to their existing holdings. There may be occasions, however, when the Directors will need the flexibility to finance business opportunities to allot new shares (or to grant rights over shares) for cash or to sell treasury shares for cash without first offering them to existing shareholders in proportion of their holdings. This cannot be done unless the shareholders have first waived their pre-emption rights.

Resolution 13 would authorise the Directors to do this and, apart from rights issues or any other preemptive offer concerning equity securities, the authority will be limited to the allotment of shares for cash or sale of treasury shares for cash up to an aggregate nominal value of £201,394 which is equivalent to approximately 5 per cent. of the Company's issued ordinary share capital as at 4 March 2021 (being the latest practicable date prior to the publication of this notice).

Resolution 13 also seeks a disapplication of the preemption rights on a rights issue or other pre-emptive issue so as to allow the Directors to make exclusions or such other arrangements as may be appropriate to resolve legal or practical problems which, for example, might arise with overseas shareholders.

The Board intends to adhere to the guidance issued by the Investment Association (as updated in July 2016), the Pre-Emption Group's Statement of Principles (as updated in March 2015) (the "Statement of Principles") and the template resolutions published by the Pre-Emption Group in May 2016.

The Directors therefore seek an additional authority under resolution 14 to issue shares for cash on a non-preemptive basis up to a maximum number of 20,139,450 (which includes the sale on a non preemptive basis of any shares held in treasury), which is equivalent to approximately 5 per cent. of the Company's issued ordinary share capital as at 4 March 2021 (being the latest practicable date prior to the publication of this notice), if used only for the purposes of financing (or refinancing, if the authority is to be used within six months after the original transaction) a transaction which the Directors determine to be an acquisition or other capital investment of a kind contemplated by the Statement of Principles.

Unless shareholder approval is obtained, Ordinary Shares will only be issued pursuant to these authorities for cash on a non pre-emptive basis at a premium to the prevailing net asset value at the time of issue in order to take account of the costs of such issue and will therefore be non-dilutive to the prevailing net asset value for existing shareholders.

If given, the authorities contained in resolutions 13 and 14 will expire at the conclusion of the 2021 AGM or on 14 August 2021 (the date which is 15 months after the passing of the resolution), whichever is earlier.

Shareholders will note that resolutions 13 and 14 also relate to treasury shares.

Authority to purchase own shares Resolution 15

In certain circumstances, it may be advantageous for the Company to purchase its own shares and this resolution seeks the authority from shareholders to continue to do so. The Directors will continue to exercise this authority only when, in the light of market conditions prevailing at the time, they believe that it is in the best interests of shareholders as a whole and as a means of correcting any imbalance between supply and demand for the shares. Other investment opportunities, appropriate gearing levels and the overall position of the Company will be taken into account when exercising this authority. Under the Act, the Company can hold its own shares in treasury following a buy back, instead of having to cancel them. This gives the Company the ability to re-issue treasury shares quickly and cost-effectively (including pursuant to the authority under resolution 11 above) and provides the Company with additional flexibility in the management of its capital base. Once held in treasury, the Company is not entitled to exercise any rights, including the right to attend and vote at meetings in respect of the shares. Further, no dividend or other distribution of the Company's assets may be made to the Company in respect of the treasury shares. If the Directors exercise the authority conferred by resolution 15, the Company will have the option of either holding in treasury or of cancelling any of its own shares purchased pursuant to this authority and will decide at the time of purchase which option to pursue.

The resolution specifies the maximum number of Ordinary Shares that may be acquired (approximately 10 per cent. of the Company's issued ordinary share capital as at 4 March 2021 (being the latest practicable date prior to the publication of this notice)) and the maximum and minimum prices at which they may be bought.

There are no warrants or options to subscribe for Ordinary Shares outstanding at 4 March 2021 (being the latest practicable date prior to the publication of this notice).

If given, this authority will expire at the conclusion of the 2021 AGM or on 14 August 2022 (the date which is 15 months after the date of passing of the resolution), whichever is earlier.

The Directors intend to seek renewal of this authority at subsequent AGMs in accordance with current best practice.

Notice period for general meetings other than annual general meetings Resolution 16

This resolution is to allow the Company to hold general meetings (other than an AGM) on 14 clear days' notice. The notice period required by the Act for general meetings of the Company is 21 clear days unless: (i) shareholders approve a shorter notice period, which cannot however be less than 14 clear days; and (ii) the Company offers the facility for all shareholders to vote by electronic means. AGMs must always be held on at least 21 clear days' notice. The Company intends to give as much notice as is practicable when calling a general meeting. The 14 clear days' notice period will not be used as a matter of routine, but only in circumstances where it would clearly be to the advantage of shareholders as a whole, the business of the meeting is time-sensitive or flexibility is merited by the nature of the business of the meeting. The approval will be effective until the Company's next AGM, when it is intended that a similar resolution will be proposed.

Further information about the AGM Coronavirus (COVID-19) and AGM attendance

As a result of the UK Government's current guidance on social distancing and prohibition on non-essential travel and public gatherings due to the COVID-19 pandemic, shareholders will not be permitted to attend the AGM. The AGM will be convened in accordance with the Company's Articles of Association and in line with UK Government guidance. Certain shareholders and/or directors will attend the AGM in person in order to form the quorum, but any other member attempting to attend the AGM in person will be refused entry. Voting on the resolutions to be proposed at the AGM will be conducted on a poll, rather than a show of hands. Therefore, shareholders are encouraged to vote via proxy, and where possible, vote by proxy online, using www. investorcentre.co.uk/eproxy, electing the Chairman of the meeting as proxy as no other proxy will be permitted to attend the meeting.

The Board is closely monitoring the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic in the United Kingdom, and should UK Government's guidance change, a further announcement will be made.

Only those members registered on the Company's Register of Members of the Company at close of business on Wednesday, 12 May 2021 (or in the event of an adjournment, at close of business on the date which is two working days prior to the adjourned meeting), or their duly appointed proxy, shall be entitled to vote at the AGM. Changes to the Register of Members after the deadline shall be disregarded in determining the rights of persons to vote at the AGM.

Appointment of a proxy

Members are entitled to appoint a proxy to exercise all or any of their rights to attend, speak and vote at the AGM and at any adjournment thereof. A member may appoint more than one proxy in relation to the AGM, provided that each proxy is appointed to exercise the rights attached to a different share or shares held by that shareholder. A proxy need not be a shareholder of the Company but they must be registered in advance and

attend the AGM to represent you. A Form of Proxy which may be used to make such appointment and give proxy instructions accompanies this notice. As shareholders will not be permitted to attend the AGM, any proxy you appoint other than the Chairman of the meeting will be refused entry to the meeting.

To be valid, your Form of Proxy must be received no later than 11.00 a.m. on 12 May 2021 (or, if the meeting is adjourned, 48 hours (excluding nonworking days) before the time fixed for the adjourned meeting). You may return your Form of Proxy using the pre-paid envelope provided or delivered by post or by hand (during normal business hours) to Computershare Investor Services PLC, The Pavilions, Bridgwater Road, Bristol, BS99 6ZY. Completion and return of the Form of Proxy will not preclude members from attending and voting at the meeting should they wish to do so. Amended instructions must also be received by Computershare by the deadline for receipt of Forms of Proxy.

In the case of joint holders, where more than one of the joint holders purports to appoint a proxy, only the appointment submitted by the most senior holder will be accepted. Seniority is determined by the order in which the names of the joint holders appear in the Company's register of members in respect of the joint holding (the first-named being the most senior).

Nominated Persons

Any person to whom this notice is sent who is a person nominated under section 146 of the Act to enjoy information rights (a "Nominated Person") may, under an agreement between him/her and the member by whom he/she was nominated, have a right to be appointed (or to have someone else appointed) as a proxy for the AGM. If a Nominated Person has no such proxy appointment right or does not wish to exercise it, he/she may, under any such agreement, have a right to give instructions to the member as to the exercise of voting rights at the AGM.

The paragraphs above about the rights of shareholders in relation to the appointment of proxies do not apply to Nominated Persons. The rights described in those paragraphs can only be exercised by members of the Company.

CREST members

CREST members who wish to appoint a proxy or proxies through the CREST electronic proxy appointment service may do so for the meeting and any adjournment(s) thereof by using the procedures described in the CREST Manual. CREST personal members or other CREST sponsored members, and those CREST members who have appointed a voting service provider(s), should refer to their CREST sponsor or voting service provider(s), who will be able to take the appropriate action on their behalf.

In order for a proxy appointment or instruction made using the CREST service to be valid, the appropriate CREST message (a "CREST Proxy Instruction") must be properly authenticated in accordance with Euroclear UK & Ireland Limited's specifications and must contain the information required for such instruction, as described in the CREST Manual (available via www.euroclear.com/ CREST). The message, regardless of whether it constitutes the appointment of a proxy, or is an amendment to the instruction given to a previously appointed proxy must, in order to be valid, be transmitted so as to be received by the issuer's agent (ID 3RA50) by the latest time(s) for receipt of proxy appointments specified above. For this purpose, the time of receipt will be taken to be the time (as determined by the time stamp applied to the message by the CREST Application Host) from which the issuer's agent is able to retrieve the message by enquiry to CREST in the manner prescribed by CREST. After this time, any change of instructions to proxies appointed through CREST should be communicated to the appointee through other means.

CREST members and, where applicable, their CREST sponsors or voting service providers should note that Euroclear UK & Ireland Limited does not make available special procedures in CREST for any particular messages. Normal system timings and limitations will therefore apply in relation to the input of CREST Proxy Instructions. It is the responsibility of the CREST member concerned to take (or, if the CREST member is a CREST personal member or sponsored member or has appointed a voting service provider(s), to procure that his CREST sponsor or voting service provider(s) take(s)) such action as shall be necessary to ensure that a message is transmitted by means of the CREST system by any particular time. In this connection, CREST members and, where applicable, their CREST sponsors or voting service providers are referred, in particular, to those sections of the CREST Manual concerning practical limitations of the CREST system and timings (www.euroclear.com/CREST).

The Company may treat as invalid a CREST Proxy Instruction in the circumstances set out in Regulation 35(5) (a) of the Uncertificated Securities Regulations 2001 (as amended).

Corporate Representatives

Any corporation which is a member can appoint one or more corporate representatives who may exercise on its behalf all of its powers as a member provided that they do not do so in relation to the same Ordinary Shares.
