(1) Any proxy arrangement which gave discretion to the Chair has been included in the 'For' totals.
(2) 'Vote Withheld' is not a vote in law and is not counted in the total votes cast or the calculation of the percentage of votes 'For' or 'Against' each resolution.
(3) The total number of ordinary shares of £0.01 each in issue is 412,174,356. The total number of voting rights is 412,174,356.
The Board notes that while Resolution 2 (relating to the Directors' Remuneration Report) and Resolutions 4, 5 and 6 (each relating to the re-election of Directors) were all passed as ordinary resolutions, more than 20% of votes cast were against the Board's recommendation on each resolution. The votes against were almost entirely exercised by DL Invest Group ISR SARL ("DL Invest"), the Company's largest Shareholder. DL Invest recently requisitioned a meeting of the Company to put forward proposals for the replacement of the Company's existing investment manager with DL Invest and for the Company to change its stated investment policy of completing a managed wind-down of its assets and going into liquidation. Those proposals were comprehensively voted down by Shareholders at the requisitioned general meeting on 20 February 2026.
DL Invest also voted against Resolution 9 (relating to the authority to make market purchases of Ordinary Shares), and Resolution 10 (relating to the authority to call general meetings on not less than 14 clear days' notice). As special resolutions, Resolutions 9 and 10 required the support of at least 75% of votes cast and were therefore not passed.
The Board is disappointed with the votes cast against its recommendations on these Resolutions; and in accordance with the AIC Code of Governance Code, the Board will seek to understand the reasons for the votes cast against the Board's recommendations.
Shareholder Engagement and Next Steps
The Board remains focused on progressing the disposal of the Company's sole remaining asset and returning all remaining capital to Shareholders as efficiently as possible.
The Board and its advisers intend to engage with the Company's larger Shareholders over the coming days to discuss the outcome of the AGM, the completion of the Company's Shareholder-approved managed wind-down and the proposed next steps.
Subject to the outcome of this engagement process, the Board intends to progress the documentation and other steps required to place the Company into liquidation as soon as practicable.
