Strategy Update

 

Further to the announcement released by Schroder BSC Social Impact Trust plc
(the "Company") on 2 July 2025, the Board wishes to update shareholders on the
Company's ongoing strategic review process.

Since that announcement, the Company has conducted an extensive shareholder
consultation exercise. The consultation solicited views relating to continuing
as an investment trust, a managed wind down process, whether some investors
may wish to retain exposure to the mandate and/or, directly or indirectly, to
the assets, and the means by which capital could be returned to shareholders.

The Board received constructive feedback from the shareholder base which
covered a wide range of preferred outcomes. The Board is in the process of
taking advice and carefully considering fund structures and alternatives that
would seek to optimise outcomes for shareholders, including those shareholders
who have expressed a preference for a return of capital or improved liquidity.

As noted previously, the Board instructed the Portfolio Manager not to make,
for the duration of the consultation period, any new investments that would
extend the current maturity profile of the portfolio. Meanwhile, the Company's
Portfolio Manager continues to manage the portfolio in accordance with the
Company's impact strategy and commitments.

The Board continues to consult with shareholders and intends to provide a
further update at or before the Company's Annual General Meeting scheduled to
take place in December 2025.
