*Excluding treasury shares.

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

 

The Board notes that resolution 14 adheres to the recommendation of the Investment Association, representing the institutional investment community, which supports the Pre-Emption Group's Statement of Principles for the disapplication of pre-emption rights for an additional 5% authority, if used only for the purposes of financing (or re-financing) a transaction which the Board determines to be an acquisition or other capital investment of a kind contemplated by the Statement of Principles. The Board considers the flexibility afforded by this additional pre-emption rights authority to be in the best interests of the Company and reflective of UK listed company market practice.

 

The Board remains committed to shareholder engagement and, in accordance with Provision 5.2.4 of the AIC Code of Corporate Governance (the "Code"), the Board will consult and continue to engage with shareholders, including in relation to resolutions 4, 5, 6 and 7, in order to fully understand and discuss their concerns. An update will be provided within six months of the AGM, in accordance with the Code, with a final summary to be included in the Company's Annual Report & Accounts for the year ended 31 December 2024.

 

Every shareholder has one vote for every Ordinary Share held. As at 14 May 2024, the issued share capital of the Company consisted of 393,916,490 Ordinary Shares. The Company holds 450,000 Ordinary Shares in treasury, which do not carry voting rights. Therefore, the total voting number of voting rights in the Company is 393,466,490 Ordinary Shares.

 

The full text of all the resolutions can be found in the Notice of Annual General Meeting dated 7 March 2024, a copy of which is available on the Company's website at https://www.triplepointreit.com/investors/72/.

In accordance with Listing Rule 9.6.2 copies of all the resolutions passed, other than ordinary business, will be submitted to the National Storage Mechanism and will shortly be available for inspection at: https://data.fca.org.uk/#/nsm/nationalstoragemechanism.
