On 15 November 2017, the Company announced that it had entered into a
conditional, binding commitment to subscribe for a series of loan notes with a
value of c.£53 million. The proceeds of which have been deployed to finance
investments in five operational onshore wind farms located across the UK. 
 
A further six advances totalling £65.9 million have been advanced to Project
Companies under existing loan facilities since the year end. 
 
On 27 November 2017, the Company announced that it had entered into an
agreement with RBSI in respect of an increase to the £75 million revolving
credit facility entered into on 17 January 2017.  The increased facility is
for an amount of £90 million. 
 
On 30 November 2017, the Company announced that it has completed a refinancing
by funds and accounts under management by Blackrock Investment Management (UK)
Limited of a portfolio of loan notes held by the Company which are secured
against infrastructure assets in the UK and which were valued at £97.4 million
as at 30 September 2017. Pursuant to this refinancing, the Company will retain
a subordinated investment of £27.7 million secured against the cash flows from
the same portfolio of assets at a materially enhanced rate of return. 
 
As at 1 December 2017, Mr Paul De Gruchy, together with his family held an
indirect interest of 481,746 ordinary shares in the Company following a scrip
issue allotment of 7,356 shares. 
 
As at 1 December 2017, Mr Clive Spears held 26,942 ordinary shares in the
Company following a scrip issue allotment of 411 shares.

ordinary shares in the Company following a scrip issue allotment of shares. 
 
As at 1 December 2017, the non-voting directors of the Investment Adviser hold
directly or indirectly, and together with their family members, 6,236,299
ordinary shares in the Company following a scrip issue allotment of shares. 
 
On 13 December 2017, the Investment Advisory Agreement was reviewed by the
Board and its term was extended such that the earliest possible effective
termination date changed from 28 February 2019 to 28 February 2022.  The
Investment Advisory Agreement was also amended such that it may be terminated
by the Company or the Investment Adviser by giving 24 months' written notice,
with such notice to not be given prior to 29 February 2020. As the Investment
Adviser is deemed to be a related party to the Company, entering into the
amended Investment Advisory Agreement is a smaller related party transaction
under the Listing Rules and, therefore, falls within the requirements of
Listing Rule 11.1.10 R. 
 
23. Ultimate controlling party 
 
It is the view of the Directors that there is no ultimate controlling party.
