ANNUAL GENERAL MEETING
Dear Shareholder,
Introduction
The nineteenth Annual General Meeting of the Company (the “Meeting”) will be held at the offices of Northern Trust International Fund Administration Services (Guernsey) Limited, Trafalgar Court, Les Banques, St Peter Port, Guernsey at 9.45 a.m. on 11 June 2026.
This letter explains the business to be considered at the Annual General Meeting and includes a recommendation from the Board that you vote in favour of the resolutions which will be proposed. The formal Notice of the Annual General Meeting is set out at the end of this document.
The Company encourages Shareholders who vote by proxy to appoint the chair of the meeting for that purpose. All votes on the resolutions contained in the notice of the Annual General Meeting will be held by poll, so that all proxy votes are counted.
The Annual General Meeting
At the Annual General Meeting, the following Resolutions will be proposed:
Ordinary Resolutions
Resolution 1: The Directors must lay the annual audited financial statements for the financial period ended 31 December 2025 and the reports of the Directors and Auditors before the Shareholders and the Shareholders will be asked to receive and consider the financial statements and the reports.
Resolutions 2 and 3: Shareholders will be asked to confirm the re-appointment of Ernst & Young LLP as auditors for the financial period ending 31 December 2026 until the conclusion of the next annual general meeting due to be held in 2027 and to grant authority to the Board to determine their remuneration.
Ernst & Young LLP has been the Company’s independent auditor since the
financial period ended 31 December 2025.
Resolutions 4 to 8 (inclusive): Shareholders will be asked to vote on the election of John Whittle and the re-election of each of the other Directors standing for re-election. Other than John Whittle, all of the Directors are retiring at the Annual General Meeting in accordance with corporate governance best practice, save for John Le Poidevin, who will not offer himself for re-election and will cease to be a director of the Company at the conclusion of the Annual General Meeting, having served for over 9 years.
All of the Directors standing for election or re-election are non-executive. If elected or re-elected (as applicable), each such Director will hold office until he or she retires or ceases to be a Director in accordance with the Articles, by operation of law or until he or she resigns. Following an evaluation of the Directors conducted during the year, the Board believes that each Director offering him or herself for election or re-election continues to make an effective and valuable contribution and demonstrates commitment to the role.
Notwithstanding that the Directors sit on the boards of a number of other listed investment companies, the Board notes that each appointment is non-executive and that listed investment companies generally have a lower level of complexity and time commitment than trading companies. Furthermore, the Board notes that attendance of all Board and committee meetings during the year is high and that each Director has always shown the time commitment necessary to discharge fully and effectively their duties as a Director.
Each of the Directors will have served for fewer than nine years at the time of the AGM, which is consistent with the principles listed in the UK Corporate Governance Code, and the Board as a whole considers that each Director is independent.
The biographies of each of the Directors standing for election or re-election are set out below.

Hogan Lovells
Resolution 9: Shareholders are being asked to approve the Directors' Remuneration Report contained in the Company's annual audited financial statements.
Resolution 10: In general terms, the Directors are seeking the authority to allot and issue up to an additional 7,996,999 US Dollar shares and 101,639,089 Sterling shares (respectively being 33.33 per cent. of the shares of each class in issue on the latest practicable date prior to the date of publication of this document (excluding in each case shares held in treasury)). The authority will expire fifteen months after the date of passing of Resolution 10 or the conclusion of the next annual general meeting of the Company, whichever is the earlier. Further explanation about this Resolution is provided below, in relation to Resolution 12.
As at 14 May 2026, being the latest practicable date prior to the date of publication of this document, the Company held 72,738,288 Sterling Shares in treasury and 607,142 US dollar Shares in treasury.
Special Resolutions
Resolution 11: The Directors are seeking to renew the authority to purchase Shares in the market up to 3,596,610 of the Company's US Dollar shares and up to 45,711,670 Sterling shares (respectively equivalent to 14.99 per cent. of the shares of each class in issue as at the latest practicable date prior to the date of publication of this document, excluding in each case shares held in treasury) from time to time either for cancellation or to hold as treasury shares for future resale or transfer.
Purchases will only be made in the market at prices below the prevailing net asset value per share in the Company of the relevant class in circumstances in which the Directors believe such purchases will result in an increase in the net asset value per share of the remaining shares (or of a particular class) or as a means of addressing any imbalance between the supply of, and demand for, the shares (or of a particular class).
Resolution 12: Resolution 12 disapplies the pre-emption rights contained in the Articles so that the Board has authority to allot and issue (or sell from treasury) shares for cash on a non-pre-emptive basis in respect of and additional 2,399,340 US Dollar shares and 30,494,776 Sterling shares in the Company respectively (equivalent to 10 per cent. of the shares of each class in issue as at the latest practicable date prior to the date of publication of this document (excluding in each case shares held in treasury)). The disapplication expires on the date falling fifteen months after the date of passing of Resolution 12 or the conclusion of the next annual general meeting of the Company, whichever is the earlier and permits the Board to allot and issue shares (or sell shares from treasury) after expiry of the disapplication if it has agreed to do so beforehand. Shares issued (or sold from treasury) pursuant to the disapplication would not be issued at a price that is less than the prevailing net asset value per share of the relevant class.
The resolution to approve disapplication of pre-emption rights is set at an additional 10 per cent. of the Sterling shares in issue and 10 per cent. of the US Dollar shares in issue (excluding in each case shares held in treasury). As the issue of shares (or sale from treasury) by the Company on a non-pre-emptive basis is subject to the additional qualification that the relevant shares must be issued for a price at least equal to the prevailing net asset value for the relevant class of shares, the Board believes that the authority to issue new shares equal to 10 per cent. of the Sterling shares and 10 per
1080493 4140-9438-2171 v3
NTAC:3NS-20
Hogan Lovells
cent. of the US Dollar shares in issue (excluding shares held in treasury) is appropriate.
The Directors have no present intention to exercise the authority conferred by Resolution 12 except, if circumstances merit it, for the sale of shares from treasury or for the allotment and issuance of shares to satisfy market demand.
