Proxy Advisers Recommend Shareholders Vote in Favour of Exit Tender Offer

Impax Environmental Markets plc ("IEM" or the "Company") is pleased to note that the leading independent proxy advisers have recommended that shareholders VOTE IN FAVOUR of the Exit Tender Offer Resolution at the General Meeting to be held on 16 April 2026.

The Board of IEM reiterates its unanimous recommendation that shareholders vote in favour of the Exit Tender Offer. The Directors will be tendering all of their own shares, reflecting their conviction that this is the right outcome for IEM's shareholders.

The Exit Tender Offer - Two Actions Required

The Exit Tender Offer will enable shareholders to tender up to 100% of their shares in the Company and requires two separate shareholder actions:

1.   Shareholders must first approve the Exit Tender Offer by passing the Resolution at the General Meeting.

2.   Any shareholder who wishes to sell some or all of their shares for cash under the Exit Tender Offer must actively tender those shares using the relevant forms, as set out in the Circular. 

The Board urges all shareholders to vote in favour of the Resolution to approve the Exit Tender Offer, regardless of whether they intend to tender shares.

As a reminder, shareholders who remain invested following the Exit Tender Offer are likely to be invested in a significantly smaller Company, and the Board believes there is a significant risk that Saba could hold a controlling interest, with the power to change the Company's strategy, objectives and mandate.

Shareholders should therefore carefully review the risk factors set out in the Circular, including the risks of not tendering, which can be found here: IEM Exit Tender Offer.

How to Vote

For shareholders holding their shares through an investor platform, voting and tender offer deadlines could be as early as 10 April 2026. Shareholders voting by proxy must return their proxy forms by no later than 11:00 am on 14 April 2026.

Glen Suarez, Chairman of Impax Environmental Markets plc, said:

"The Board of IEM welcomes the clear recommendation from the leading proxy advisers for shareholders to vote in favour of the Exit Tender Offer. These independent endorsements reinforce the importance of enabling shareholders to exit the Company at close to NAV, rather than remain exposed to the risks associated with Saba potentially becoming the controlling shareholder and exercising significant influence over the Company's strategy, objectives and mandate. I strongly urge all shareholders to take action without delay."
