We are pleased to be writing to you with details of the Annual General Meeting (the 'AGM') of Jupiter Green Investment Trust plc (the 'Company'). The AGM will be held at 11.30am on 30 September 2024 at The Zig Zag Building, 70 Victoria Street, London, SW1E 6SQ. The Notice of AGM is set out on pages 3 and 4 of this document, the explanatory notes to the resolutions are set out on pages 5 and 6, and the notes to the AGM are on pages 7 and 8.
In the Annual Report and Accounts the Chairman noted that due to his length of tenure it had been his intention to step down from the Board of the Company at this Annual General Meeting and during the year the Nomination Committee have been looking for replacements for both the Chair of the Board and Simon Baker, who is also approaching the limit of his tenure. However, these searches have now been put on hold due to the difficulty of finding suitable successors due to the size of the Company and the prevailing structural challenges it faces. As such, it is proposed that the Board composition will remain as is.
The Board is currently reviewing options for the future of the business in recognition that it may be in the best interests of shareholders for the Company not to continue in its present form and the Directors consider that given this now is not the time to change the composition of the Board.
Your vote is important to us and we strongly encourage you to vote by proxy in advance of the meeting. If you appoint the Chair of the meeting as your proxy, this will ensure your votes are cast in accordance with your wishes and avoids the need for another person to attend as a proxy in your place. We are not distributing hard copies of the proxy form but request that shareholders vote by using one of the methods detailed on page 7 of this Notice. Your vote should be returned, so as to be received by Equiniti, as soon as possible and, in any event, no later than 11.30am on 26 September 2024, or not less than 48 hours before the time of the holding of any adjourned meeting. Appointing a proxy will not prevent you from attending the AGM and voting in person, should you wish to do so. In line with best practice, we intend to take all resolutions on a poll at the meeting. On a poll each shareholder has one vote for each share held. Following the conclusion of the meeting the results of the voting will be notified to the London Stock Exchange and posted on the Company's website as soon as practicable thereafter.
The Board considers that all the resolutions, as set out in this Notice of AGM, are in the best interests of the Company and its shareholders as a whole. The Board unanimously recommends that you vote in favour of all the resolutions, as the Directors intend to do in respect of their own beneficial holdings.
Notice is hereby given that the Annual General Meeting of Jupiter Green Investment Trust PLC will be held at the offices of Jupiter Asset Management Limited, The Zig Zag Building, 70 Victoria Street, London SW1E 6SQ on Monday, 30 September 2024 at 11:30 a.m. for the following purposes:
To consider and, if thought fit, pass the following as ordinary resolutions:
To consider, and if thought fit, to pass resolution 9 as an ordinary resolution and resolutions 10 to 12 as special resolutions:

As mentioned previously in this notice as the Directors are currently reviewing options for the future of the Company the composition of the Board will remain as is.
EY are currently appointed as the auditors of the Company. The Company is required to re-appoint the auditors at each annual general meeting at which accounts are presented to shareholders to hold office until the next such meeting. EY have

indicated their willingness to continue in office and the Board, on the recommendation of the Audit and Risk Committee, is proposing to shareholders the reappointment of EY as statutory auditors for the year ending 31 March 2025.
Accordingly, Resolution 7 proposes the reappointment of EY as the Company's auditors to hold office until the conclusion of the next annual general meeting of the Company at which accounts are laid before the meeting. The Audit Committee has monitored and assessed the independence of EY throughout the year and has implemented policies to help safeguard their independence. The Audit Committee has confirmed the auditors' independence and recommends their re-appointment.
Resolution 8 seeks the authority for the Board's Audit and Risk Committee to set the auditors' remuneration for 2024. Under the Competition and Markets Authority's Statutory Audit Services Order, the Audit Committee has specific responsibility for negotiating and agreeing the statutory audit fee for and on behalf of the Board.
The Directors are seeking authority to allot ordinary shares or grant rights to subscribe for or to convert any securities into ordinary shares without restriction up to an aggregate nominal amount equal to £6,262. This authority will expire at the conclusion of the Company's AGM in 2025.
Special Resolution 10 will, if passed, give the Directors power to allot for cash equity securities up to an aggregate nominal amount of £1,898. This authority will expire on the date of the Company's next AGM.
Special Resolution 11 will, if passed, continue to give Directors authority to make one or more market purchases of ordinary shares. This authority will expire on the date of the Company's next AGM.
The Act requires companies to call general meetings on at least 21 clear days' notice unless shareholders have approved the calling of a general meeting at shorter notice. The Company wishes to retain the option of calling general meetings on 14 clear days' notice, with the exception of AGMs which will continue to be held on at least 21 clear days' notice. If the resolution is passed, the Company will continue to be able to call all general meetings (other than AGMs) on 14 clear days' notice. This resolution is valid until the Company's next AGM in 2025. The shorter notice period would not be used as a matter of routine, but only where flexibility is merited by the business of the meeting and is thought to be in the interests of shareholders as a whole.
As at 12 August 2024 (being the latest practicable date prior to the publication of the Notice) the Company's issued share capital was 33,724,958 ordinary shares of 0.1p each, of which 14,749,178 are held in treasury. As a result the total voting rights as at 12 August 2024 is 18,975,780.
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2024
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 CRESTCo's specifications and must contain the information required for such instructions, as described in the CREST Manual. The message, regardless of whether it constitutes the appointment of a proxy or 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 Company's agent ID (RA19) by the latest time(s) for receipt of proxy appointments specified in the Notice of meeting. For this purpose, the time of receipt will be taken to be the time (as determined by the timestamp applied to the message by the CREST Applications Host) from which the Company'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 CRESTCo 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.
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.
