Notice of AGM

SDCL Energy Efficiency Income Trust plc announces that the Annual General Meeting (AGM) will be held on 31 July 2020 at 9.30am at Herbert Smith Freehills LLP, 12 Primrose Street, Exchange Square, City of London, EC2A 2EG.

The Notice of the 2020 Annual General Meeting and Proxy form have been posted to shareholders today and are available at http://www.sdcleeit.com/reports-publications.

They have also been submitted to the National Storage Mechanism and will shortly be available for inspection at: https://data.fca.org.uk/#/nsm/nationalstoragemechanism.

Impact of COVID-19 for the AGM

The COVID-19 pandemic will affect the format of the Company's AGM this year and our priority is to ensure the health and wellbeing of all stakeholders. We recognise the current UK Government guidance designed to mitigate the spread of COVID-19, specifically relating to the avoidance of public gatherings and travel restrictions (the "COVID-19 Measures"). We intend to hold the AGM in full compliance with the COVID-19 Measures and as there are currently still restrictive measures with regards to social distancing in place, shareholders will not be permitted to attend the AGM in person this year. In the event that the COVID-19 Measures are relaxed to permit such gatherings at the time of the AGM, the Company will make an announcement to this effect by RNS. The AGM will be functional in format and attended only by those necessary to form the quorum, which will be facilitated by the Company.

Request not to attend in person/submitting questions

Given these circumstances, shareholders are strongly encouraged to exercise their votes by submitting their proxy electronically or by post. A proxy form has been provided to enable you to vote in respect of the Resolutions in accordance with the instructions and return it to Computershare Investor Services PLC, The Pavilions, Bridgwater Road, Bristol, BS99 6ZY, United Kingdom, as soon as possible and in any event so that it is received no later than 9.30am on Wednesday 29 July 2020.

As an alternative to completing the hard-copy proxy form, you can appoint a proxy electronically by visiting www.eproxyappointment.com. You will be asked to enter the Control Number, the Shareholder Reference Number (SRN) and PIN and agree to certain terms and conditions. These details can be found on the form of proxy. Members may also appoint a proxy through the CREST electronic proxy appointment service as described in note 14 of this notice.

The Board understands that beyond voting on the formal business of the meeting, the AGM also serves as a forum for shareholders to raise questions and comments to the Board. Therefore, registered shareholders and their corporate representatives or proxies are invited to ask any questions of the board by submitting questions by email. We will aim to respond to all questions submitted in this way. Shareholders may submit questions by email to SEEIT@sannegroup.com.
