Ecofin U.S. Renewables Infrastructure Trust plc (the "Company")

 

Proposed B Share Scheme and notice of General Meeting

 

Ecofin U.S. Renewables Infrastructure Trust plc has today released a circular
and notice of its general meeting (the "GM") to be held at 3.00 p.m. on 7
April 2026 at 3 Stonecutter Street, London EC4A 4AW (the "GM Circular").

The GM Circular contains details of a proposed mechanism to return capital to
shareholders through the issue and immediate redemption of bonus shares (the
"B Share Scheme").

Full details of the proposed B Share Scheme, which is conditional on the
passing of the relevant resolutions at the GM, are contained in the GM
Circular. A summary of the proposal is set out below.

B Share Scheme

As realisations of the Company's assets occur, the Board believes it would be
prudent to have a method for returning available capital amounts to
Shareholders to the extent possible.

After due consideration, the Board believes that one of the fairest and most
efficient ways of returning cash to Shareholders is by adopting a B Share
Scheme whereby the Company will be able to issue redeemable B Shares to
Shareholders and to redeem them on each Redemption Date without further action
being required by Shareholders ("B Share Returns of Capital").

Subject to the passing of the Resolutions, the quantum of B Share Returns of
Capital to Shareholders will be capped at half the amount of the Company's
distributable profit. At the date of this document, that is approximately $20
million. The timing of B Share Returns of Capital are at the discretion of the
Board, which will announce details of each B Share Return of Capital,
including the relevant Record Date, Redemption Price and Redemption Date,
through an RIS Announcement.

The adoption of a B Share Scheme will not limit the ability of the Company to
return cash to Shareholders by using other mechanisms and, if the B Share
Scheme is adopted, the Board will continue to review its efficiency over time.

at https://rnewfund.com/funds/ecofin-us-renewables-infrastructure-trust-plc/#investors
(https://rnewfund.com/funds/ecofin-us-renewables-infrastructure-trust-plc/#investors)
, and will shortly be submitted to the National Storage Mechanism.

Any capitalised terms not defined in this announcement shall have the same
meaning as in the GM Circular.
