* Includes discretionary votes

** A vote withheld is not a vote in law and is not counted in the calculation of the votes for or against a resolution.

Resolution 8, which related to the continuation of the Company as a venture capital trust for a period of five years, has not passed. In the light of the votes against this resolution, the Company will undertake a detailed review of the feedback received on this matter to ensure it fully understands shareholders' concerns. The Board takes seriously its responsibilities to uphold the highest standards of corporate governance and is open to constructive dialogue with shareholders and shareholder bodies.

In light of Resolution 8 not achieving the required majority to pass, the Company will be required to draw up proposals for voluntary liquidation, reconstruction or other re-organisation of the Company for consideration by the members in a General Meeting to be held within four months of the AGM. The Directors will work, alongside the directors of Gresham House Renewable Energy VCT 1 plc, over the next four months to devise the best possible proposals to put to shareholders, seeking to maximise the return to shareholders whilst preserving the tax position of those who invested in 2018.
