(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.
