2 special resolution.

The Board are pleased that all resolutions were duly passed and would like to thank shareholders for their continued support.

The full text of the resolutions can be found in the Notice of Meeting to shareholders dated 24 July 2023 which can be viewed on the Company's website at: www.hendersondiversifiedincome.com.

For the purposes of section 341 of the Companies Act 2006, the votes validly cast are expressed in the table above as a percentage of the Company's total voting rights as at 2.30 p.m. on 5 October 2023 (182,072,717), being the time at which a shareholder had to be registered in the Register of Members in order to vote at the General Meeting.  A vote "withheld" is not a vote in law and has not been counted as a vote "for" or "against" a resolution.

The number of ordinary shares in issue at the date of this announcement is 187,434,303. There are 5,361,586 shares held in treasury. Therefore, as at the date of this announcement the number of voting rights in the Company are 182,072,717.

The Company announces that it has authority to repurchase a maximum of 27,292,700 of its ordinary shares (being its outstanding shareholder authority). Such authority lasts until the next shareholder authority granted, or where expressly revoked by shareholders.

The Company instructs J.P. Morgan Securities plc to act as its broker in respect of its market purchase transactions. The Company may utilise the authority to purchase shares by either a single purchase or a series of purchases when market conditions allow when they are trading at a discount to the underlying net asset value per share, with the aim of maximising the benefit to shareholders. This proposal does not indicate that the Company will purchase shares at any particular time or price, nor imply any opinion on the part of the Directors as to the market or other value of the Company's shares.  This arrangement is in accordance with Chapter 12 of the Financial Conduct Authority's Listing Rules and the Company's general authority to repurchase shares.

A copy of the proxy results will be available on the Company's website shortly at: www.hendersondiversifiedincome.com.

A copy of the resolutions will be submitted to the National Storage Mechanism ("NSM") and will shortly be available for inspection on the NSM's website at https://data.fca.org.uk/#/nsm/nationalstoragemechanism.
