VPC Specialty Lending Investments PLC

Publication of a Circular containing a Notice of General Meeting

The Board of VPC Specialty Lending Investments plc (the "Company") announces the publication of a circular (the "Circular") today in relation to a continuation vote, required by the Articles, that was not proposed at its annual general meeting held on 11 June 2025 (the "2025 AGM"). As a result, the Company has been advised that it should seek the approval of Shareholders to ratify this oversight.

The Articles require that, at the Company's 2020 annual general meeting, and at every fifth annual general meeting thereafter, there shall be proposed an ordinary resolution that the Company shall continue in existence as an investment company (a "Continuation Resolution"). If such Continuation Resolution is not passed, the Board shall, within three months of such meeting, put forward proposals to Shareholders to the effect that the Company be wound up, liquidated, reorganised or unitised.

However, in June 2023 Shareholders approved changes to the investment objective and policy of the Company. Pursuant to this change, the Company is managed with the objective of conducting an orderly realisation of the assets of the Company in a manner that seeks to achieve a balance between returning cash to Shareholders promptly and maximising value.

Since then, and after considering the Company's projected working capital requirements, the Board has made distributions to shareholders of approximately £11.9 million in April 2024 and £43 million in May 2025.

The second Continuation Resolution should have been proposed at the 2025 AGM, being the fifth annual general meeting of the Company following the annual general meeting held in 2020. However, due to the oversight referred to above, such a Continuation Resolution was not proposed.

Since the Company is already in a period of managed wind down, the practical implications of the Continuation Resolution would be unlikely to change the Company's current strategy even if a Continuation Resolution were to fail. In such event, the Company's investments would continue to be realised in an orderly manner, that is, with a view to achieving a balance between returning cash to Shareholders promptly and maximising value. As a result, the Board is not proposing to put forward a replacement Continuation Resolution. In accordance with the Articles, the next Continuation Resolution will, if the Company is still in existence, be proposed at the fifth annual general meeting of the Company following the 2025 AGM, in approximately five years.

However, the Company has been advised that, since not proposing a Continuation Resolution at the 2025 AGM constitutes a breach of the Articles, the Company should seek Shareholder approval to ratify this. Accordingly, a general meeting of the Company (the "General Meeting") is being convened to propose a Resolution, which will, if passed, release the Company and its directors (including those individuals that were directors at the time of the 2025 AGM) from their historic obligation to propose a Continuation Resolution at the 2025 AGM and rectify this breach of the Articles. The preparation of the Circular and the convening of the General Meeting to propose the Resolution will not involve a cost to the Company.

The Board has taken steps to ensure that the issue referred to in the Circular does not arise again in the future and is grateful for Shareholders' understanding in respect of this issue.

The Circular contains a notice convening the General Meeting which is to be held at the offices of Winterflood Securities Limited, Riverbank House, 2 Swan Lane, London EC4R 3GA at 3.00 p.m. on 22 September 2025.

A copy of the Circular will shortly be made available on the Company's website at https://vpcspecialtylending.com/, and submitted to the National Storage Mechanism, where it will be available for inspection at:  https://data.fca.org.uk/#/nsm/nationalstoragemechanism.
