In relation to Resolution 14, the Board notes that votes representing 18.30% of total votes cast were received against the market standard share buyback resolution, following the recommendation of Pensions and Investment Research Consultants Limited ("PIRC"), a proxy adviser. The UK Corporate Governance Code notes that where a significant proportion of votes have been cast against a resolution at a general meeting, a company should explain what actions it has taken to understand the reasons behind the vote. The Company, via its corporate broker, is consulting with the largest shareholder who voted against this resolution. Certain shareholders have indicated that they remain in favour of the Company's approach to buybacks, in spite of PIRC's recommendation to vote against this resolution.

In relation to Resolution 5, the Board notes that votes representing 18.34% of total votes cast were received against Mr Craig's re-election as a Director of the Company, following the recommendation of PIRC. PIRC does not consider Mr Craig to be independent as he has served on the Board longer than 9 years and is connected with Old Mutual Global Investors Limited, a substantial shareholder of the Company. As set out on page 36 of the Company's Annual Report, the Board does not consider that a Director's tenure necessarily reduces his or her ability to act independently and that phased refreshment of the Board is ongoing. Furthermore, the Board has in place agreed procedures which do not permit any Director with a potential conflict of interest to vote on issues relating to that potential conflict. Having considered these points and taking into Mr Craig's conduct in Board meetings, the Board considers him to be independent.

The Company will seek to engage with the relevant shareholders who voted against the resolution, in order to understand the reasons for their votes and address their concerns.

In relation to Resolution 7, the Board notes that votes representing 18.34% of total votes cast were received against Ms McGrade's election as a Director of the Company, following the recommendation of PIRC. PIRC does not consider Ms McGrade to be independent as she is a non-executive director of M&G Securities Ltd, a significant shareholder in the Company. The Board of The Diverse Income Trust Plc has in place agreed procedures which do not permit any Director with a potential conflict of interest to vote on issues relating to that potential conflict and therefore the Board considers Ms McGrade to be independent.

The Company will seek to engage with the relevant shareholders who voted against the resolution, in order to understand the reasons for their votes and address their concerns.

A copy of the full text of Resolutions 12 to 15 will be submitted to the National Storage Mechanism and will shortly be available for inspection at https://www.fca.org.uk/markets/primary-markets/regulatory-disclosures/national-storage-mechanism
