Edge Performance VCT plc (the "Company")
Corporate update
Shareholders support the Board
Second Webinar and poll
The Company's investment manager, Edge Investments Limited, held a webinar for shareholders at 2pm on Monday 10 January 2022. This will shortly be available to view on the investment manager's website (www.edge.vc) with a log-in. Please email the investment manager at info@edge.vc if you are a shareholder who would like access.
The Second Webinar:
· updated the Company's shareholders on the Company's investment portfolio;
· commented on the resolutions proposed by the shareholders who have requisitioned a general meeting; and
· presented the plans approved by the Company's board of directors for:
o the payment of more, large tax-free dividends;
o the implementation of a share buy-back scheme to provide liquidity and support the share price; and
o the Company's future
At the second webinar those attending were polled and 100% of those who voted were in favour of the board/its plans. Whilst only a poll and not a vote this demonstrates that shareholders at the webinar are overwhelmingly in favour of the board's plans and resolutions and overwhelmingly against those of the ShareSoc EPVCT Campaign.
Your Company's board points out that the ShareSoc EPVCT Campaign could still succeed if shareholders do not vote and asks all shareholders to cast their votes for the current Board's resolutions and against the Requisitionists. Proxy voting forms and how to vote guidance is available at www.edge.vc.
