Annual General Meeting

Description of the Formal Business of the AGM

Ordinary Business

  1. Resolution 1: Receive the Annual Report and Financial Statements
    The Companies Act 2006 (the "Companies Act") requires the directors of a public company to lay before the company in general meeting copies of the annual report, directors' report and its auditor's report in respect of each financial year. These are contained in the Company's annual report and financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2023 (the "2023 Annual Report"). Accordingly, a resolution to receive the 2023 Annual Report is included as an ordinary resolution.
  2. Resolution 2: Approve the Directors' remuneration report
    The Directors' remuneration report can be found on pages 61 to 64 of the 2023 Annual Report and is subject to an advisory vote by Shareholders, which is proposed as an ordinary resolution. It details the payments that have been made to Directors during the year, in accordance with the current remuneration policy.
  3. Resolution 3: Dividend Policy
    Resolution 3 proposes to approve the Company's dividend policy.
    Under the Company's articles of association (the "Articles of Association"), the Board is authorised to approve the payment of interim dividends without the need for the prior approval of Shareholders.
    Having regard to corporate governance best practice relating to the payment of interim dividends without the approval of a final annual dividend by Shareholders, the Board has decided to seek express approval by way of ordinary resolution from Shareholders of its dividend policy to pay four interim dividends per year. This dividend policy with respect to the last financial year remains unchanged to that disclosed in the prospectus (comprising a summary, registration document and securities note) published by the Company on 25 May 2022, save that the Company has not paid a final fourth interim dividend in the last financial year.
    Under normal circumstances and in accordance with the Company's dividend policy, the Board would expect to pay four quarterly interim dividends per year. However, as more fully explained in the 2023 Annual Report, the Company's capital allocation priorities mean that the Board does not currently expect to pay any dividends in 2024. The Board will rely on this authority to pay interim dividends as soon as the Company is able to. A revised dividend policy may be set out in the future and included as part of future general meeting notices.
    It should be noted that the dividend policy (and the Company's target dividend) is not a profit forecast. Payment of dividends will depend on market conditions, the Company's net income and the Company's ongoing charges ratio. Dividends will only be paid to the extent permitted in accordance with the Companies Act.
  4. Resolutions 4 to 8: Election of directors
    It is the policy of the Board to stand for re-election on an annual basis. Each of the existing Directors, John Leggate, Isabel Liu, Duncan Neale, Cathy Pitt and David Stevenson will therefore retire from office with effect from the conclusion of the AGM unless re-elected, and will stand for re-election by the Shareholders by means of ordinary resolution.
    Brief biographies of each member of the Board standing for re-election can be found on page 52 of the 2023 Annual Report.
    Following an evaluation of the Directors conducted during the year, the Board believes that each Director offering him or herself for re-election continues to make an effective and valuable contribution and demonstrates commitment to the role.

Annual General Meeting

5. Resolutions 9 and 10: Appointment of auditors and auditors' remuneration

Resolution 9 relates to the appointment of BDO LLP as the Company's auditors to hold office until the conclusion of the Company's next annual general meeting. This resolution is recommended by the Company's audit committee and endorsed by the Board. Accordingly, it is proposed, as an ordinary resolution, to appoint BDO LLP as the Company's auditors. Similarly, resolution 10 authorises the Directors, upon recommendation from the Company's Audit Committee, to fix the auditors' remuneration.

Special Business

  1. Resolution 11: Directors' authority to allot
    Resolution 11 is intended to renew the Company's authority to allot Ordinary Shares and new C shares of £0.01 each in the capital of the Company ("C Shares") for cash or as consideration for the acquisition of investments. The resolution authorises the Board to allot Ordinary Shares and C Shares generally and unconditionally in accordance with section 551 of the Companies Act up to an aggregate nominal value of £573,444.69, representing approximately 10% of the issued ordinary share capital as at 17 May 2024, being the date of the Notice of AGM.
    The Board believes that passing resolution 11 is in Shareholders' interests given that this authority is intended to be used to fund specific investment opportunities sourced by the Investment Manager, either by issuing new shares for cash or as consideration for the acquisition of investments. In addition, new Ordinary Shares or C Shares allotted under the authority will (i) provide the Company with the ability to issue Ordinary Shares and C Shares tactically, so as to manage the premium to net asset value per Ordinary Share or C Share at which the Ordinary Shares or C Shares trade; (ii) improve liquidity in the market for the Ordinary Shares and C Shares; and (iii) increase the size of the Company, thereby spreading operating costs over a larger capital base which should reduce the ongoing charges ratio.
    Ordinary Shares and C Shares allotted under this authority will only be allotted at prices greater than the prevailing net asset value per share and a premium to cover the commissions, costs and expenses of the relevant allotment under the relevant placing.
    The authority granted pursuant to resolution 11 shall expire on the earlier of the next annual general meeting of the Company, or 19 September 2025. The Directors consider it important to have the maximum flexibility commensurate with good corporate governance guidelines to raise finance to enable the Company to respond to any positive market developments and therefore believes the authority sought to allot up to 10% of the existing issued ordinary share capital of the Company is appropriate.
  2. Resolution 12: Disapplication of statutory pre-emption rights
    Resolution 12 is a special resolution which is being proposed to empower the Directors to disapply the pre-emption rights of existing Shareholders in relation to allotments (or sales from treasury) of Ordinary Shares for cash under resolution 11 (being in respect of Ordinary Shares up to an aggregate nominal value of £573,444.69, representing up to 10% of the Company's issued ordinary share capital as at the date of the Notice of AGM.
    Resolution 12 is conditional on resolution 11 being passed. In the event that resolution 11 is not passed, resolution 12 will not be proposed to the AGM.
    No allotment (or sale from treasury) of Ordinary Shares for cash without pre-emption rights will be made at a price less than the prevailing net asset value per Ordinary Share at the time of the relevant allotment (or sale).
    The powers granted by resolution 12 will expire on the earlier of the conclusion of the Company's next annual general meeting or 19 September 2025 and will permit the Board to allot Ordinary Shares (or sell Ordinary Shares from treasury) after expiry of the disapplication if it has agreed to do so beforehand.

Gresham House Energy Storage Fund PLC

Annual General Meeting

The Directors consider it important to have the maximum flexibility commensurate with good corporate governance guidelines to raise finance to enable the Company to respond to any positive market conditions and therefore believes the authority sought by resolution 12 to dis-apply preemption rights over up to 10% of the existing issued ordinary share capital of the Company is appropriate.

8. Resolution 13: Market purchases of own shares

This resolution seeks authority for the Company to make market purchases of its own Ordinary Shares from time to time and is proposed as a special resolution. If passed, the resolution gives authority for the Company to purchase up to 85,302,714 of its ordinary shares, or, if less, 14.99% of the Company's issued ordinary share capital immediately prior to the passing of the resolution (excluding treasury shares).

The resolution specifies the minimum and maximum prices which may be paid for any Ordinary Shares purchased under this authority. The authority will expire on the earlier of 19 September 2025 and the Company's next annual general meeting.

The Board does not currently have any intention of exercising any authorities granted by resolution 13. In normal market circumstances the Directors intend to favour dividend distributions ahead of Ordinary Share repurchases in the market. However, if the Ordinary Shares have traded at a significant discount to net asset value per share, the Board may seek to prioritise the use of net income after the payment of dividends on market repurchases over other uses of capital. If the Board does decide that the Company should repurchase Ordinary Shares, purchases will only be made through the market for cash at prices below the estimated prevailing net asset value per Ordinary Share where the Directors believe such purchases will result in an increase in the net asset value per Ordinary Share and where the Board believes such purchases are in Shareholders' interests by addressing an imbalance in the demand and supply of shares available in the market at a particular point in time.

The Company may either cancel any Ordinary Shares it purchases under this authority or transfer them into treasury (and subsequently sell or transfer them out of treasury or cancel them).

The Company does not have any options or outstanding share warrants.

9. Resolution 14: Length of notice

The Companies Act requires the Company to give at least 21 clear days' notice for a general meeting of the Company (other than the AGM), unless the Company:

  • has gained Shareholder approval for the holding of general meetings on 14 clear days' notice by passing a special resolution at the most recent AGM; and
  • offers the facility for the Shareholders to vote by electronic means.

The Company would like to preserve its ability to call general meetings (other than the AGM) on less than 21 clear days' notice. Resolution 14 seeks such approval. It is intended that this shorter notice period would be used where the flexibility is merited by the business of the meeting and is thought to be in the interests of the Shareholders as a whole. Should this resolution be approved it will be valid until the earlier of 19 September 2025, or the Company's next annual general meeting, whichever is sooner (when it is intended that a similar resolution will be proposed).

10. Resolutions 15 to 17: Reduction of capital

Background to and reasons for the Capital Reduction

The Company has built up the following substantial capital reserves, which are currently non- distributable:

  • Share Premium Reserve, which has arisen as a result of the issue of Ordinary Shares at prices in excess of the nominal value of those shares. As at the date of the Notice of AGM, the balance standing to the credit of the Share Premium Reserve was £543,915,071.

5

Gresham House Energy Storage Fund PLC

Annual General Meeting

  • Merger Relief Reserve, which represents the value of Ordinary Shares that have been issued in order for the Company to acquire investments. At the date of the Notice of AGM, the balance standing to the credit of the Merger Relief Reserve was £13,299,018.

The Board believes that converting the Share Premium Reserve and the Merger Relief Reserve to distributable reserves will provide a significant pool of reserves which can be used in the future, if required, to fund dividend distributions, returns of capital or to provide flexibility for any other general corporate purposes, in accordance with applicable law.

Procedures to effect the Capital Reduction

Share Premium Reduction

Share premium forms part of the capital of the Company which arises on the issue by the Company of Ordinary Shares at a premium to their nominal value. The premium element is credited to the Share Premium Reserve. Under the Companies Act, the Company is generally prohibited from paying any dividends or making distributions for other corporate purposes in the absence of positive distributable reserves, and the Share Premium Reserve, being a non-distributable reserve, can be applied by the Company only for limited purposes.

However, the Company may cancel the Share Premium Reserve and convert the amount so cancelled to a distributable reserve following approval by Shareholders by way of a special resolution, and confirmation of the High Court of England and Wales (the "Court"). The Board is accordingly proposing resolution 15 at the General Meeting, which seeks Shareholder approval to cancel the entire amount standing to the credit of the current Share Premium Reserve (the "Share Premium Reduction"), being £543,915,071, following which it will make an application to the Court to obtain confirmation of the cancellation.

The Share Premium Reduction will take effect when the order of the Court confirming it and a statement of capital approved by the Court have been registered by the Registrar of Companies.

Merger Relief Reserve Reduction

In certain circumstances, such as where shares are issued in consideration for the acquisition of shares in another company, instead of creating share premium, an amount is credited to a merger relief reserve. As in the case of a share premium reserve, a merger relief reserve can only be used in very limited circumstances. However, unlike the Share Premium Reserve, the Merger Relief Reserve is a non- statutory reserve and the Court does not have power to reduce non-statutory reserves.

Accordingly, the Company proposes to capitalise the entire amount standing to the credit of the Merger Relief Reserve (the "Merger Relief Reserve Reduction"), being £13,299,018, by applying that sum in paying up in full, new B ordinary shares in the capital of the Company (with the nominal value of such shares being equal to the sum that is obtained by dividing the number of such shares to be issued into £13,299,018 (the "B Ordinary Shares") and, on the business day prior to the day of the Court hearing to confirm the Capital Reduction (the "Capital Reduction Record Day"), allotting and issuing such B Ordinary Shares, credited as fully paid, to the persons holding Ordinary Shares as at 10:30am on the Capital Reduction Record Day (the "Capital Reduction Record Time"), on the basis of one B Ordinary Share for every one Ordinary Share held (the "Bonus Issue").

The B Ordinary Shares will not be admitted to trading on the specialist fund segment of the main market of the London Stock Exchange plc, or on any other market or stock exchange. It is a condition of issue of the B Ordinary Shares that no share certificates will be issued in respect of them. The B Ordinary Shares will have extremely limited rights. In particular, save for the right to a dividend at a nominal fixed rate, the B Ordinary Shares will carry no rights to participate in the profits of the Company and no rights to participate in the Company's assets, save on a winding up. The B Ordinary Shares will be transferable, but no market will exist in them and it is anticipated that the Court will confirm at the Court hearing to confirm the Capital Reduction, that the B Ordinary Shares may be cancelled with effect from the date that the Court's confirmation order and the Court approved statement of capital is registered by the Registrar of Companies, which is expected to be shortly after the Court hearing. On completion of the Merger Relief Reserve Reduction, the Company's entire Merger Relief Reserve as at the date of the Notice of AGM will be cancelled. Therefore, the issue of the B Ordinary Shares should not affect the Company's net asset value per Ordinary Share.

United Kingdom Taxation

The following comments are intended as a general guide only and relate only to certain UK tax consequences of receiving the B Ordinary Shares under the Bonus Issue. The comments are based on

6

Gresham House Energy Storage Fund PLC

Annual General Meeting

current legislation and HM Revenue & Customs published practice, both of which are subject to change, possibly with retrospective effect. These comments deal only with Shareholders who are resident for taxation purposes in the UK, who are the absolute beneficial owners of the Ordinary Shares and who hold them as an investment and not on a trading account. They do not deal with the position of certain classes of Shareholders, such as dealers in securities, insurance companies or collective investment schemes. Any Shareholder who has any doubt about their own taxation position, or who is subject to taxation in any jurisdiction other than the UK should consult their own professional taxation advisor immediately.

Share Premium Reduction

The Share Premium Reduction should not have any consequences for UK Shareholders for the purposes of UK taxation of chargeable gains ("CGT"), UK income tax or UK corporation tax.

Merger Relief Reserve Reduction

On the basis that the B Ordinary Shares will be treated as being paid up for "new consideration" received by the Company, the Bonus Issue should not give rise to any liability for UK income tax (or corporation tax on income) in a UK Shareholder's hands.

The Bonus Issue should be treated as a "reorganisation" for the purposes of CGT, so that a Shareholder should not be treated as making a disposal of his Ordinary Shares for CGT purposes upon receipt of the B Ordinary Shares. Instead, the B Ordinary Shares will be treated as the same asset, acquired at the same time, as their Ordinary Shares. On the basis that the B Ordinary Shares will be treated as being paid up for "new consideration" received by the Company, the issue of the B Ordinary Shares should not give rise to any liability under UK income tax (or corporation tax) in a Shareholder's hands. For CGT purposes, a Shareholder's base cost in their Ordinary Shares will be apportioned between their B Ordinary Shares and their Ordinary Shares based on their respective market values at the date that the B Ordinary Shares are cancelled. It is likely that the market value of the B Ordinary Shares will be £nil for the duration of their existence. This is because the B Ordinary Shares will have no voting rights or rights to income; will have no market on which they can be traded; and it is anticipated that they will be cancelled for no payment on the day immediately following the date of their issue. Consequently, the issue of the B Ordinary Shares should not impact the base cost of the Ordinary Shares and there should be no tax charge (nor any allowable loss) on the cancellation of the B Ordinary Shares.

UK stamp duty and stamp duty reserve tax

No stamp duty or stamp duty reserve tax will be payable on the Capital Reduction, including the issue of B Ordinary Shares, and on their cancellation.

This section is intended to be a general guide only and is not intended to be, and should not be construed to be, legal or taxation advice to any particular Shareholder. Any Shareholder who has any doubt about their own taxation position, whether regarding CGT or otherwise, or who is subject to taxation in any jurisdiction other than the UK should consult their own professional taxation advisor immediately.
