COMPANY BUSINESS (INCLUDING MAIN COUNTRY OF OPERATION) OR, IN THE CASE OF AN INVESTING COMPANY, DETAILS OF ITS INVESTING POLICY). IF THE ADMISSION IS SOUGHT AS A RESULT OF A REVERSE TAKE-OVER UNDER RULE 14, THIS SHOULD BE STATED:

i(x) is an investing company that provides its shareholders the opportunity to create long-term capital growth with positive, scalable, measurable and sustainable impact on the environment and on the communities it serves.

Investing Policy

The Company's investing policy is to generate long term capital appreciation for its shareholders principally by creating, funding, partnering with and/or developing companies that are committed to Energy Transition and Sustainability in the Built Environment.

The Company is a long-term investor and does not seek to generate short-term returns or profits from trading or arbitrage. While taking a long-term view, the Company will realise opportunities for shorter term gain when appropriate. The Company does not anticipate paying dividends to shareholders in the near-to-medium-term but may revisit this policy as the businesses in which it invests mature and the Company's plans permit. The key elements of the Company's strategy are as follows:

The Company is seeking to create, fund, partner with and/or develop companies that are predominantly committed to:

· Energy Transition (facilitating and accelerating the transition away from fossil fuels to sustainable and renewable energy); and

· Sustainability in the Built Environment (building sustainable and affordable housing, with a focus on affordability, greenhouse gas reduction, clean and healthy air, resource efficiency with emphases on waste, water and healthy building materials).

The Company may invest in other areas of interest outside of its principal areas of focus on Energy Transition and Sustainability in the Built Environment if it deems them appropriate and consistent with its overall goal of helping to effect positive and sustainable environmental and social change and in which the Company's directors ("Directors") have the necessary expertise and experience to be able to identify and manage such opportunities. The Company might also consider investments that help advance the discipline of ESG Risk Management by providing data and other resources to monitor and measure sustainability generally and support its efforts in its main areas of focus.

The Company expects to diversify its investments within those areas of focus set out above, particularly with regard to industry sub-sectors, growth stages of the companies it may create, fund, partner with or invest in or develop, and geographic focus. However, the Company is not precluded from creating, funding, partnering with or developing companies that may share common characteristics in terms of industry sub-sector, growth stage or geographic focus with its specific areas of focus.

The Company expects to reinvest the net proceeds realised from the sale of any of its interests in its investee companies into new opportunities to create, fund, partner with or develop companies that are consistent with its business objectives. The Directors believe that this is an important element of the Company's strategy to deploy its capital to create positive, scalable, measurable and sustainable environmental and social impact. As set out above, the Company may elect to make special or in-kind distributions under such circumstances as it may determine rather than reinvest the net proceeds from the sale of any of its interests.

The Company does not place any limitations on the size of the investments it will seek, although as stated, in the long term the Company aims to deploy capital in individual investments that typically represent up to one-third of its investable capital at or around the time of investment.
