RNS Number : 2334Y Triple Point Energy Transition PLC 24 February 2025
24 February 2025
Triple Point Energy Transition plc
("TENT" or the "Company")
Result of General Meeting
Appointment of Joint Liquidators
The Board of Triple Point Energy Transition plc announces the result of the
Company's General Meeting held earlier today.
All resolutions were voted by way of a poll and the Board is pleased to
announce that the resolutions required to place the Company into members'
voluntary liquidation ("Liquidation") were approved by the requisite
majorities of Shareholders. As a result, Henry Anthony Shinners and Adam Henry
Stephens, licensed insolvency practitioners of Evelyn Partners LLP of 45
Gresham Street, London, United Kingdom EC2V 7BG, (the "Joint Liquidators")
have been appointed with immediate effect.
The Joint Liquidators will use their best endeavours to make the Initial
Distribution of approximately £43 million to Shareholders as soon as possible
and, in any event, within 10 business days. The Joint Liquidators, in their
absolute discretion, will make further distributions of capital as and when
further cash from deferred payments becomes available and any creditors have
been satisfied, with a view to making a subsequent distribution in Q3 2025 and
a final distribution of any residual cash (and winding up the Company)
expected to be made in Q4 2026.
Trading in the Company's Shares remains suspended and the Joint Liquidators
will seek to cancel the admission of the Shares to the Official List of the
FCA and to trading on the Main Market of the London Stock Exchange following
the payment of the Initial Distribution.
For the avoidance of doubt, in light of the approval of the Liquidation, the
Tender Offer will not proceed.
Following the Liquidation's approval, Rosemary Boot, Anthony White and Sonia
McCorquodale have stepped down as Directors of the Company with immediate
effect.
Rosemary Boot, Chair of the Company, commented:
"The Board would like to thank Shareholders for taking the time to vote and
have their voices heard at this crucial meeting. The Liquidation is the
conclusion of the Managed Wind-Down process and represents the most
cost-effective and tax-efficient way of returning value to Shareholders, with
the most certainty.
With the appointment of the Joint Liquidators, the powers of the Directors now
cease and we have stepped down. On behalf of my fellow Directors, I would like
to thank Shareholders for their support, as well as the Triple Point team and
our other advisers for their services over the past four years and for helping
to deliver a swift and successful Managed Wind-Down."
