Results of General Meeting
The board of Premier Global Infrastructure Trust PLC (the "Company") announces
the results of the General Meeting of the Company's shareholders held earlier
today.
The ordinary resolution as set out in the Notice of General meeting dated 16
September 2020 - to amend the Company's investment policy so that the portfolio
consists primarily of investments in companies operating in the renewable
energy sector as well as other sustainable infrastructure investments - was put
to the meeting and duly passed on a poll. The results are detailed below:
Resolution FOR FOR AGAINST AGAINST WITHHELD Total issued
(No. of (% of (No. of (% of votes (No. of share capital
votes votes votes cast) votes instructed

1. To amend 2,666,469 57.84% 1,943,380 42.16% 13,751 25.56%
the
investment
policy
As more than 20% of votes cast were against the resolution, due in particular
to the impact of a large shareholder whose vote against the resolution had a
significant effect given the low voting turnout, the board intends to consult
with those who have voted against to understand the reasons for them doing so.
An update on the views received from shareholders and actions taken will be
published within six months as required by the AIC Code of Corporate
Governance.
The special resolution set out in the same Notice to rename the Company in line
with the change of investment policy (now approved by shareholders as indicated
above), which requires 75% of those voting to cast their votes in favour, was
voted on by way of a poll and was not passed. The results are detailed below:
Resolution FOR FOR AGAINST AGAINST WITHHELD Total issued
(No. of (% of (No. of (% of votes (No. of share capital

2. To 2,665,165 57.71% 1,952,782 42.29% 5,653 25.56%
change the
name of the
Company
The purpose of Resolution 2 was to bring the name of the Company into alignment
with the revised investment policy (subject to the policy being approved by
shareholders), as the board believes that the name of the Company should
appropriately reflect the Company's new investment mandate. The directors will
consult with the dissenting shareholders on this point, and will reconsider the
matter in due course.
NOTES:
1. Votes "For" and "Against" any resolution are expressed as a
percentage (rounded to two decimal places) of votes validly cast in
respect of that resolution.
2. A "Vote withheld" is not a vote in law and is not counted in the
calculation of the percentage of shares voted "For" or "Against"
any resolution.
3. The number of shares in issue at close of business on 7 October
2020 was 18,088,480, with no shares held in treasury. Therefore,
the number of voting rights on that date was 18,088,480.
