Director Retirement

Rachael Nutter, who has served on the Board since the Company's inception in 2019, was not standing for re-election at the AGM and accordingly she stands down as a Director of the Company with effect from today. The Board thanks Rachael for her valued contributions and wise counsel over the past five years.

Statements on resolutions 5 and 13

The Board notes that resolutions 1 to 12 were passed by a majority in accordance with the relevant thresholds and resolution 13 was not passed which was in line with the Board's recommendation.

In addition, and as announced separately today, the proposed Tender Offer has been approved by an overwhelming majority of shareholders.

The Board acknowledges that significant minority votes were cast against the re-election of Gill Nott (34.98%) and were cast for the discontinuation of the Company (35.37%). The Board will continue its engagement with shareholders and notes that discussions with shareholders since the announcement of the Tender Offer have been constructive. In the view of the Board and Investment Manager, the plans set out last month regarding the Tender Offer, interim dividend policy and refinancing plans, reflect the best approach to deliver maximum value for all shareholders. Wide-ranging support from shareholders for the Company's strategy has been expressed. The Board and Investment Manager look forward to continuing constructive and supportive discussions with all shareholders.
