ThomasLloyd Energy Impact Trust plc (the "Company")
Requisition of a General Meeting
The Company notes the announcement today by ThomasLloyd Group Limited and confirms that it has received a notice from certain entities and funds which hold shares in the Company and are affiliated with ThomasLloyd Global Asset Management (Americas) LLC (the "Investment Manager") (together, the "Requisitioning Shareholders"), requisitioning a general meeting of the Company's shareholders (the "Second Requisition") which is required to be convened within 21 days of the Second Requisition and to be held on a date not more than 28 days after the date of the notice convening such general meeting. For the avoidance of doubt, this notice is in addition to the notice from the Requisitioning Shareholders requisitioning a general meeting which was detailed in the Company's announcement of 12 July 2023.
The Second Requisition proposes ordinary resolutions that Sue Inglis, Mukesh Rajani, Kirstine Damkjær and Clifford Tompsett are removed from office as directors of the Company with immediate effect. The Second Requisition also proposes ordinary resolutions that Sarah Day, Russell Downs, Martyn Everett and Christian Yates are appointed as directors of the Company with immediate effect. The Board will respond to the Second Requisition in due course.
The announcement released by ThomasLloyd Group Limited today still fails to address the concerns raised by the Board and contains a number of general statements about what it expects would be the Investment Manager's proposals for the future of the Company, on which it proposes only to provide further details following a shareholder vote in favour of continuation.
The Board reiterates its recommendation that shareholders should vote against the Continuation Resolution to be proposed at the general meeting of the Company to be held on 24 August 2023 for the reasons set out in its circular to shareholders dated 31 July 2023.
A further announcement will be made in due course.
