On 17 March 2025, the Board of Keystone Positive Change Investment Trust plc (the "Company") announced that Shareholders had approved the proposals for the scheme of reconstruction and members' voluntary winding-up of the Company under section 110 of the Insolvency Act 1986 (the "Scheme") at the adjourned Ordinary Shareholders' Class Meeting and the adjourned First General Meeting. Implementation of the Scheme remains subject to, among other things, Shareholder approval at the adjourned Second General Meeting to be held on 28 March 2025.

The Board announces the following Elections in connection with the Scheme:

· Rollover Option: 17,925,883 Ordinary Shares / 30.3 per cent. of issued Ordinary Shares (excluding Ordinary Shares held in treasury); which will be reclassified as Reclassified Shares with "A" rights, being the right to receive New BGPC Shares in the Baillie Gifford Positive Change Fund; and
