John Whittle, Chairman of the Company commented:

 

“The Board is pleased  with the strong  support shown for  the proposal to  place the Company  into
voluntary winding up, bringing the listed life of the Company to a conclusion. We are proud of  the
value delivered to  investors from the  portfolio during the  managed wind down  process with  £376
million repaid to shareholders to date (representing 91% of the 31 January 2023 NAV and 104% of the
27 January 2023 market capitalisation). These figures do not include further distributions that the
joint liquidators  are expected  to make  in due  course. Further,  this value  has been  delivered
significantly ahead of  the four to  five year initial  guidance all while  continuing an  unbroken
track record of quarterly dividend payments.

 

My fellow Directors and  I would like  to thank Starwood for  their effective portfolio  management
making this extremely positive outcome possible as well as thanking shareholders for placing  their
trust in us to oversee this managed wind down process.”

 

The full  text of  the resolution  can be  found in  the Notice  of Extraordinary  General  Meeting
contained in  the Company's  circular dated  13 February  2026 (the  “Circular”). The  Circular  is
available for viewing  at the National  Storage Mechanism (“NSM”).  A copy of  the resolution  will
shortly be submitted to the NSM and available for inspection at:
