Dear Shareholder,

Introduction

Following the publication of the Company's annual report and audited financial statements for the year ended 31 March 2025, as published on the Company's website, here: https://www.fgen.com/investors/reports-and-publications, please find enclosed the Notice of AGM. The AGM will be held at 1 Royal Plaza, Royal Avenue, St Peter Port, Guernsey GY1 2HL at 10:00 a.m. (BST) on 18 September 2025.

A number of resolutions are being proposed in relation to the ordinary administrative business of the Company. The Formal Notice of AGM can be found in Part 2 of this Circular and full details of each of the resolutions to be proposed at the AGM are set out in Part 3 of this Circular.

This letter aims to provide shareholders with more information relating to Resolution 16 (the "Discontinuation Resolution") which is being proposed as a special resolution, and why the Board of Directors unanimously recommends that shareholders VOTE AGAINST this resolution. More information on the Discontinuation Resolution can be found below and in Part 3 "Explanatory notes to the resolutions to be proposed at the AGM" on pages 10 to 13.

Background

FGEN is a Guernsey-incorporated closed ended listed investment company whose Ordinary Shares are traded in Sterling on the London Stock Exchange's Main Market and is a constituent of the FTSE 250 index.

We pursue a diversified investment strategy across well-established sectors of environmental infrastructure driven by the need to address climate change and societal demand for sustainability. We aim to drive stable returns by investing in projects and businesses characterised by long-term, stable cash flows, secured revenues, inflation linkage, and the delivery of essential services. Our approach covers renewable energy generation, such as wind farms, solar parks and anaerobic digestion (AD) plants, other energy infrastructure such as energy storage and cleaner transportation, and sustainable resource management including waste and wastewater management.

The Board believes that the Company's broad environmental infrastructure investment mandate offers investors access to scarce but highly sought after income and growth assets that are of vital importance in achieving the country's net zero goals. This balanced and diversified portfolio mitigates the risk of exposure to a single technology, geography, regulatory regime or weather pattern.

Solid track record

This year FGEN celebrates its 11th anniversary with an excellent track record of delivering year-on-year dividend growth since its IPO. Since its launch, the Company has paid out over £385.5 million in dividends and share buybacks and produced NAV total returns of 7.3 per cent1 . The Company has successfully grown its portfolio from seven initial investments to now a total of 40 investments across the UK and Europe giving investors access to a well-balanced and diversified portfolio with attractive risk-adjusted returns.

As reported in the Chair's statement in the 2025 Annual Report, the Company has met its stated dividend target of 7.80 pence per share (up 3 per cent over the prior year). The Company's diversification strategy continues to demonstrate resilience as evidenced by the consecutive years of record distributions received from investments resulting in a dividend cover of 1.32 times – the second highest since IPO. The Board has set a dividend target at 7.96 pence for the current year to 31 March 2026, which is expected to be well covered by distributions received from the Company's investments.

The Board and the Investment Manager remain focused on sustaining this positive momentum through a progressive dividend policy that prioritises long-term, stable and inflation-linked cash flows and believe the Company is well positioned to continue delivering on its investment objective.

Part 1 Letter from the Chair of the Board continued

Delivery against objectives

Narrowing the share price discount relative to the Company's Net Asset Value remains a top priority for both the Board and the Investment Manager. Over the past year, several initiatives have been implemented to address the discount and enhance shareholder value, and the discount has narrowed to 22.8 per cent as of 8 August 2025.

We identified our primary capital allocation objectives to include the sale of assets to demonstrate support for valuations and to raise funds to further reduce gearing. We also launched the Company's share buyback programme.

We have executed strategically important and value accretive disposals totalling £89.3 million throughout the year, representing 10 per cent of the portfolio. This has enabled us to materially reduce our debt to be one of the lowest geared investment companies in the sector and continue our ongoing share buyback programme, pursuant to which the Company has returned a total of £27.2 million1 to shareholders since the commencement of the programme on 15 August 2024.

The share buyback programme assists in managing discount volatility, providing market liquidity and allows the Company to take advantage of the Net Asset Value accretion opportunity that a wide share price discount represents. As such, the Board anticipates a continuation of its share buyback programme over the 2026 financial year, subject to available liquidity, should the Company's shares continue to trade at a material discount to NAV.

Reduced Investment Management fees and enhanced shareholder alignment

During the year we reduced the annual fee payable to the Investment Manager, with further changes to the fee arrangements proposed from 1 October 2025 (subject to finalisation of contractual terms). The Board believes that this will deliver excellent value for FGEN's shareholders, while also improving alignment with shareholders.

Clear, strategic direction and outlook

As announced in June this year, the Board has considered a full range of strategic options with independent advisers and concluded that the long term prospects of the Company and shareholder interests are best served through the proactive management of the existing portfolio with a refocused investment strategy, reflective of the structural changes in macroeconomic conditions since 2022 characterised by increased levels of market volatility and higher return expectations in an elevated rate environment.

We will continue to drive as much value as possible from the existing portfolio, with ongoing value enhancement initiatives across the operational portfolio and, importantly efforts to ramp-up FGEN's growth assets – Rjukan, CNG and the Glasshouse are progressing well. In particular, the Rjukan aquaculture facility in Norway carried out a first trout harvest at the end of July, achieving a key milestone as the asset transitions from construction to operational readiness and first sales in the coming weeks2 .

Environmental infrastructure continues to be one of the most significant investment opportunities of this generation. Supported by Foresight Group, a leading investment management platform that manages £13.2bn3 of AUM across infrastructure, real assets and private equity, FGEN's strategic mandate ensures it is uniquely placed to capitalise across the full suite of renewable generation, other energy infrastructure and sustainable resource management technologies, to deliver attractive returns for our shareholders while supporting the transition to a more sustainable future. While the past two years have been challenging, the Board believes the current share price materially undervalues the Company, given its high-income profile and the significant growth opportunity ahead.

The Discontinuation Resolution

It is the Company's policy that, if in any financial year the Company's Ordinary Shares trade at an average discount in excess of ten per cent to Net Asset Value per Ordinary Share, the Board will propose a Discontinuation Resolution at the following AGM. Over the course of the 2024/25 financial year covering the period 1 April 2024 to 31 March 2025, the Company's Ordinary Shares have traded at an average discount of 25.7 per cent1 to the prevailing Net Asset Value per share. As such, in line with the Company's policy, a Discontinuation Resolution is being proposed to shareholders.

The Board, together with the Investment Manager, believes that the price at which the Ordinary Shares have traded during the financial year, materially undervalues the Company and does not reflect its true value nor its potential for earnings and capital growth.

To pass the Discontinuation Resolution, a total of 75 per cent of votes cast must be in favour of a discontinuation of the Company in its present form. If 75 per cent of shareholders who vote, vote in favour of this Resolution and ultimately decide that the Company should cease in its current form, the Directors will be required to formulate proposals to be put to shareholders at a General Meeting to be held within four months to wind down or otherwise reconstruct the Company, bearing in mind the illiquid nature of the underlying assets.

The Board firmly believes that the value in the portfolio will be maximised through a continuation of the Company. The operational assets in the portfolio provide a strong level of income that supports FGEN's dividend and dividend growth with a high degree of inflation-linkage and a material proportion of revenues being subsidies and fixed pricing.

As part of the Company's aim to supplement income with an element of growth for investors, efforts are currently underway to accelerate the development of the three growth assets within the portfolio: Rjukan, CNG Fuels and the Glasshouse. It is the Company's intention to exit from these assets in the medium term, once sufficiently mature, as they have the potential to deliver substantial capital appreciation.

Accordingly, the Board unanimously recommends that shareholders VOTE AGAINST Resolution 16, the Discontinuation Resolution, as the Directors intend to do in respect of their own beneficial holdings, so that FGEN can continue operating and deliver on its investment objective.

New article to be inserted in the Articles of Association

We would also like to draw shareholders' attention to another Special Resolution – Resolution 15 – proposing that a new article be inserted into the Articles of Association. Currently, discontinuing the Company in its present form requires a 75 per cent approval threshold. The Board believes this is not the most effective way to ensure all shareholder views are considered. In line with our commitment to meaningful shareholder engagement and corporate governance best practice, we propose that, from the 2026 AGM onwards, the existing discontinuation resolution be replaced with a continuation resolution as a straightforward Ordinary Resolution. This will be based on the same triggering mechanism and require only a simple majority of votes (50 per cent) to pass.

1 Royal Plaza Royal Avenue St Peter Port Guernsey GY1 2HL

Part 3 Explanatory notes to the resolutions to be proposed at the AGM

Annual Report – resolution 1

The Directors are required to lay before the AGM copies of the Company's most recent Annual Financial Statements and the Directors' Report and Auditor's Report in respect of the financial year.

Directors' remuneration – resolutions 2 – 3:

Under the Law, Guernsey-registered companies are not required to publish a Directors' Remuneration Report. However, in consideration of best practices in corporate governance the Company has included details of its Directors' remuneration within the Annual Report and Accounts for the year ended 31 March 2025 (the "Annual Report") on pages 137 and 138, and ordinary resolutions will be proposed seeking shareholder approval of the Directors' remuneration. These are an advisory rather than binding votes.

Re-election of Directors – resolutions 4 – 8:

Pursuant to the AIC Corporate Governance Code published in August 2024 (the "AIC Code"), all Directors should be subject to annual re-election by shareholders.

Having considered the performance of the individual Directors, the Board considers that the contributions of each of the Directors proposed to be re-elected as a Director of the Company is, and will continue to be, important to the Company's long-term sustainable success. The Board has determined that each of its members continues to have the relevant skills, experience and diversity to allow the Board to operate effectively and to contribute to the risk management and portfolio management functions of the Board. Further details of each Director's specific contributions to overall Board effectiveness, together with a biography of each Director standing for re-election, are set out below.

In 2019 the Board began the implementation of its succession plan which involved a staged process of rotating the Directors first appointed at the Company's launch. As part of this succession planning, Hans Joern Rieks did not seek re-election and therefore retired from the Board at the 2024 AGM.

As set out in the Annual Report, the Company currently complies with the principles of good governance contained in the AIC Code and has determined that each of the Directors is independent in accordance with such principles.

The selection of the Directors by the Nomination Committee and subsequent approval by the Board was based on the Directors' complementary skill sets and experience, as set out in more detail in the biographies set out in the following explanatory notes. The selection process for new Directors involves the use of external search consultancies and candidate vetting using a combination of interviews and questionnaires to determine suitability for the role.

Pursuant to Article 29.2 of the Articles, the Board shall have power at any time to appoint any person eligible in accordance with Section 137 of the Law to be a Director either to fill a casual vacancy or as an addition to the existing Directors, with any Director so appointed holding office until the following annual general meeting and shall then be eligible for re‑election.

Ed Warner (Chair of the Board and Chair of the Nomination Committee)

Appointed: 2 August 2022

Ed has extensive financial services experience from his time spent in senior positions at several investment banks and financial institutions, including IFX Group, Old Mutual, NatWest Markets, and Dresdner Kleinwort Benson. He also has considerable investment trust experience, having been Chair of both Standard Life Private Equity Trust plc and Blackrock Energy and Resources Income Trust. Ed is currently Chair of HarbourVest Global Private Equity Limited. Ed has also previously served as Chair of Air Partner plc and non-executive director and interim Chair of Clarkson plc.

Following his appointment as Chair in August 2022, Ed has provided strong and effective leadership to the Board. Ed leads the Company's Nomination Committee, and has also engaged actively with the Company's Investment Manager to ensure their reporting continues to be regular and comprehensive, and with the process by which the Board has undertaken a perception audit which sought to better understand the views of shareholders in the Company, together with holding introductory meetings with shareholders. Ed is also a member of the Company's ESG Committee and Risk Committee. The Board recommends that shareholders vote in favour of Mr Warner's re-election at the AGM.

Stephanie Coxon (Independent Non-Executive Director)

(Chair of the Audit Committee and Senior Independent Director)

Part 3 Explanatory notes to the resolutions to be proposed at the AGM continued

Appointment and remuneration of the External Auditor – resolutions 9 – 10:

As outlined in the Annual Report, the Company's external auditor, KPMG Channel Islands Limited ("KPMG"), completed their second annual audit of the Company on completion of the audit for the year ended 31 March 2025.

The Audit Committee assessed the quality and effectiveness of the audit, together with reviewing the objectivity and effectiveness of the audit as set out on page 133 of the Annual Report and recommended to the Board the re-appointment of KPMG as auditor of the Company. Shareholders are asked to vote on the re-appointment of KPMG as the Company's external auditor until the conclusion of the next AGM to be held in 2026, and to grant authority to the Directors to determine KPMG's remuneration for their services as external auditor to the Company in respect of their next period of office.

Approval of interim dividends – resolution 11:

In line with corporate governance best practice, the Board wishes to afford the shareholders the ability to approve the interim dividends the Company has paid in this financial year. As such interim dividends have already been declared and paid, this is an advisory rather than a binding vote.

Scrip dividends – resolution 12

This resolution allows the Directors to offer shareholders the right to elect to receive further Ordinary Shares, credited as fully paid, instead of cash in respect of all or any part of any dividend (a scrip dividend). The Directors believe that the ability for shareholders to elect to receive future dividends from the Company wholly or partly in the form of new Ordinary Shares in the Company rather than cash will benefit the Company as it will benefit from the ability to retain cash which would otherwise be paid as dividends. It may also benefit certain shareholders depending on their tax status. The Company has not to-date implemented a scrip dividend scheme, however, the Board wishes to retain the flexibility to do so, if it deems appropriate.

Market acquisitions – resolution 13:

This resolution renews the share buy-back authority that was given by the Company's shareholders on 13 September 2024. Resolution 13 gives the Company authority to make market acquisitions of the Company's own Ordinary Shares, up to a maximum of 14.99 per cent per annum of the Company's Ordinary Shares in issue (as at the time immediately following the passing of the resolution) and subject to minimum and maximum purchase prices as set out in parts b. and c. of resolution 13.

As previously advised to the market, the Company initiated a share buyback programme in August 2024, pursuant to which it has repurchased 34,570,337 shares for a total of £27.2 million. The rationale of this buyback programme is because the Ordinary Shares have traded at a significant discount to Net Asset Value for a prolonged period. All purchases have been made through the market for cash at prices below the estimated prevailing Net Asset Value per Ordinary Share.

Purchases have been and will continue to only be made in circumstances where doing so would be accretive to existing shareholders. The Board recognises their duty under the AIC Code to monitor the Company's share price and to take action to address discounts to NAV. The Board adopts a conservative approach to discount management and only undertakes purchases after careful consideration and in consultation with advisers to ensure that doing so would benefit long-term shareholders.

The Board believes that share buy-backs are an appropriate mechanism to control discount volatility, and that investment company shareholders understand and support the use of buy-backs by investment company boards as such has been shown to help deliver shareholder value. Accordingly, the Board recommends that Shareholders vote in favour of Resolution 13.

Disapplication of pre-emption rights – resolution 14:

Special resolution 14, a standard resolution for investment companies listed under Chapter 11 of the UK Listing Rules, renews the authority given to the Directors by the Company's shareholders on 13 September 2024 to allot Ordinary Shares for cash without first offering them to existing holders on a pro rata basis. The number of shares allotted under this authority is up to 10 per cent of the number of Ordinary Shares admitted to trading on London Stock Exchange plc's main market for listed securities immediately following the passing of this resolution.

If resolution 14 is passed, shareholders will be granting Directors the authority to allot up to 10 per cent of the existing issued Ordinary Share capital of the Company. This authority, if given, will lapse at the conclusion of the 2026 AGM of the Company.

The Directors do not currently intend to issue Ordinary Shares pursuant to the authority granted by resolution 14 other than to take advantage of opportunities in the market as they arise and only if they believe it would be advantageous to the Company's shareholders to do so. The Directors confirm that no issue of new Ordinary Shares will be made pursuant to the authority granted by resolution 14 unless the lowest market offer price of the Ordinary Shares is at least a premium to the latest published Net Asset Value.

Amendment to the Articles of Incorporation – resolution 15

As part of the Board's current discount management policy which is contained in Part 5 of the Company's prospectus dated 23 February 2018, if, in any financial year, the Company's Ordinary Shares trade, on average, at a discount in excess of 10 per cent to Net Asset Value per share, the Directors will propose a special resolution at the next AGM that the Company ceases to continue in its present form. This resolution requires 75 per cent of those voting for it to pass.

The Board acknowledges that a 75 per cent threshold for a vote of this significance is not optimal in terms of ensuring shareholder views are equitably considered. In line with the Board's commitment to meaningful engagement with shareholders and corporate governance best practice, the Board proposes that from the 2026 AGM onwards, the requirement to put a discontinuation resolution to shareholders requiring a special resolution to pass, is replaced with the requirement to put a continuation resolution as an ordinary resolution based on the same triggering mechanism and requiring the majority of those voting to pass for the Company to continue in its present form. If such a resolution is not passed, the Board will formulate proposals which shall include the voluntary liquidation, reorganisation, or reconstruction of the Company to be put to the shareholders. Resolution 15 proposes an addition of a new article in the Company's Articles of Incorporation to effect this change. A copy of the Articles of Incorporation is available from the Company Secretary upon request.

Discontinuation Vote – resolution 16

Pursuant to the policy in Part 5 of the Company's Prospectus dated 23 February 2018, if, in any financial year, the Company's Ordinary Shares trade, on average, at a discount in excess of 10 per cent to Net Asset Value per Ordinary Share, the Directors must propose a special resolution at the next AGM that the Company ceases to continue in its present form. Over the course of the 2024/25 financial year covering the period 1 April 2024 to 31 March 2025, the Company's Ordinary Shares have traded at an average discount of 25.7 per cent1 to the prevailing Net Asset Value per share, and as such, the Discontinuation Resolution is being proposed to shareholders.

Following a review of strategic options, the Board concluded that shareholders are best served by the proactive management of the existing portfolio, with a refocused investment strategy that reflects the structural changes in macroeconomic conditions in recent years.

The Board firmly believes that the value in the portfolio will be maximised through a continuation of the Company. The operational assets in the portfolio provide a strong level of income that supports FGEN's dividend and dividend growth with a high degree of inflation-linkage and a material proportion of revenues being subsidies and fixed pricing.

As part of the Company's aim to supplement income with an element of growth for investors, efforts are underway to ramp-up three growth assets within the portfolio; Rjukan, CNG Fuels and the Glasshouse with good progress being made on those assets in line with expectations as recently announced. It is the Company's intention to exit from these assets in the medium term, once sufficiently mature, as they have the potential to deliver substantial capital appreciation.

The Board believes that the Company is well positioned to continue to deliverer on its objectives over the long term and it is in the best interests of shareholders that the Company continues to operate in its current form and for the Investment Manager to continue implementing the investment strategy.

In relation to this Resolution, the Directors are unanimously recommending shareholders VOTE AGAINST the cessation of the Company so that the Company may continue in its present form. If this Resolution is not passed (and shareholders vote against this Resolution for the cessation of the Company), the Company will continue to implement its investment strategy.

If shareholders vote in favour of this Resolution and ultimately decide that the Company should cease to continue in its present form, the Directors will be required to formulate proposals to be put to shareholders at a General Meeting to be held within four months to wind down or otherwise reconstruct the Company, bearing in mind the illiquid nature of the underlying assets.

    1. 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 of the meeting) by using the procedures described in the CREST Manual (available from www.euroclear.com). CREST Personal Members or other CREST sponsored members, and those CREST members who have appointed a 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.
    1. In order for a proxy appointment or instruction made by means of CREST to be valid, the appropriate CREST message (a 'CREST Proxy Instruction') must be properly authenticated in accordance with Euroclear UK & International Limited's specifications and must contain the information required for such instructions, as described in the CREST Manual.

After this time, any change of instructions to proxies appointed through CREST should be communicated to the appointee through other means.
    1. CREST members and, where applicable, their CREST sponsors or voting service providers should note that Euroclear UK & International Limited does not make available special procedures in CREST for any particular message. 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 system procedures 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 34 of the Uncertificated Securities (Guernsey) Regulations 2009.

It is important that you read these carefully as you will be bound by them and they will govern the electronic appointment of your proxy. An electronic proxy appointment via the Proxymity platform may be revoked completely by sending an authenticated message via the platform instructing the removal of your proxy vote.
    1. Unless otherwise indicated on the Form of Proxy, CREST, Proxymity or any other electronic voting instruction, the proxy will vote as they think fit or, at their discretion, withhold from voting.
