The Board notes that while a majority of shareholders who voted at the Annual General Meeting overwhelming supported all resolutions, resolution 15 was passed with a majority of 80.26%.

Resolution 15 adheres to the guidance issued by the Investment Association, the Pre-Emption Group's Statement of Principles, for the disapplication of pre-emption rights for an additional 5% authority, if used only for the purposes of financing (or re-financing) a transaction which the Directors determine to be an acquisition or other capital investment of a kind contemplated by the Statement of Principles. The Directors consider the flexibility afforded by this additional pre-emption rights authority to be in the best interests of the Company and reflective of UK listed company market practice.

The Board is committed to maintaining an open and transparent dialogue with the Company's shareholders and will engage to understand the views of shareholders who voted against this resolution. The Board will publish an update on that engagement in the Company's annual report for the financial year ending 31 December 2022.

Every shareholder has one vote for every Ordinary Share held. As at 27 May 2022, the issued share capital of the Company consisted of 403,239,002 Ordinary Shares. The Company holds 450,000 Ordinary Shares in treasury, which do not carry voting rights. Therefore, the total voting number of voting rights in the Company is 402,789,002 Ordinary Shares.

The full text of all the resolutions can be found in the Notice of Annual General Meeting dated 24 March 2022, a copy of which is available on the Company's website at https://www.triplepointreit.com/investors/72/.

In accordance with Listing Rule 9.6.2 copies of all the resolutions passed, other than ordinary business, will be submitted to the National Storage Mechanism and will shortly be available for inspection at: https://data.fca.org.uk/#/nsm/nationalstoragemechanism.

NOTES:

The Company invests in primarily newly developed social housing assets in the UK, with a particular focus on supported housing. The majority of the assets within the portfolio are subject to inflation-linked, long-term, Fully Repairing and Insuring ("FRI") leases with Approved Providers (being Housing Associations, Local Authorities or other regulated organisations in receipt of direct payment from local government). The portfolio comprises investments into properties which are already subject to a lease with an Approved Provider, as well as forward funding of pre-let developments but does not include any direct development or speculative development.

There is increasing political pressure and social need to increase housing supply across the UK which is creating opportunities for private sector investors to help deliver this housing. The Group's ability to provide forward funding for new developments not only enables the Company to secure fit for purpose, modern assets for its portfolio but also addresses the chronic undersupply of suitable supported housing properties in the UK at sustainable rents as well as delivering returns to investors.

The Company is a UK Real Estate Investment Trust ("REIT") listed on the premium segment of the Official List of the UK Financial Conduct Authority and is a constituent of the FTSE EPRA/NAREIT index.
