A vote withheld is not a vote in law and any such votes have not been included in the votes for or against the respective Resolutions.
\* The Board acknowledges that a small number of significant Shareholders have voted against Resolution 2 but would emphasise that, as stated in the Circular dated 20 September 2021, the Directors believe that it is in the best interests of the Company to remove the cap on any performance fee payable to Maven Capital Partners UK LLP (Maven) as it will incentivise and reward Maven appropriately when an exceptional return is achieved, and only when the Shareholders of the Company have also derived a significant benefit. The removal of this cap will also align the Company with the approach taken by the VCT sector in general, where such incentive payments are not subject to a monetary limit.
