The AGM will proceed as set out below:

·      the AGM will be held in person at New Broad Street House, 35 New Broad Street, London, EC2M 1NH;

 

·      the Board and representatives of Gresham House Asset Management Limited (the "Investment Manager") are expected to be present at the AGM in person;

 

·      there will be no presentation from the Board or the Investment Manager at the AGM. However, there will be an opportunity to ask questions of the Board or the Investment Manager relating to the business and resolutions proposed at the AGM;

 

·      Shareholders are encouraged to submit questions in advance of the AGM by sending these questions to GHEnergyStorageCoSec@jtcgroup.com on or before Friday, 14 June 2024;

 

·      the votes on the resolutions to be proposed at the AGM will be conducted on a poll and the Chair of the meeting will vote in the poll in accordance with the proxies held; and

 

·      the results of the poll votes will be published as soon as possible following the conclusion of the AGM by way of a Regulatory Information Service ("RIS") announcement and on its website (https://greshamhouse.com/real-assets/new-energy/gresham-house-energy-storage-fund-plc/).

If for any reason circumstances change, the Company will consider these changes and, if it is appropriate, notify shareholders of any changes to the proposed format for the AGM as soon as possible via an RIS announcement and on its website.

Investor Engagement Event 

The Board values the opportunity to engage with its investors and intends to have a more comprehensive engagement session with shareholders later in the year. Once the appropriate arrangements for this session can be arranged the Company will make an announcement setting out the relevant details and inviting shareholders to this event. This event is intended to be of interest to the institutional and retail shareholders of the Company and will include multiple speakers from the Investment Manager. While shareholders are welcome to attend the AGM in person, the Board is of the opinion that the anticipated shareholder engagement session later in the year may be a more interesting event for shareholders to engage with the Board and Investment Manager.

If you are planning to attend the AGM in person, please notify the Company Secretary on or before Tuesday, 18 June 2024, at GHEnergyStorageCoSec@jtcgroup.com so that appropriate arrangements can be made to facilitate access to the meeting and to make the appropriate arrangements for the meeting.

Definition of utility-scale battery energy storage systems (BESS):

 

Utility-scale battery energy storage systems (BESS) are the enabling infrastructure that will support the continued growth of renewable energy sources such as wind and solar, essential to the UK's stated target to reduce carbon emissions. They store excess energy generated by renewable energy sources and then release that stored energy back into the grid during peak hours when there is increased demand.
