(a company incorporated in Jersey under the Companies (Jersey) Law 1991 (as amended) with registered number 105775)

26 January 2023

To the holders of Ordinary Shares in the Company ("Shareholders")

Dear Shareholder

SCRIP DIVIDEND ALTERNATIVE

Background

The Company's investment objectives are to provide its Shareholders with regular, sustained, long-term dividends and to preserve the capital value of its investment assets over the long-term by generating exposure to UK infrastructure Project companies, their owners or their lenders and related and/or similar assets which provide regular and predictable long-term cash flows. The Company pays dividends on a quarterly basis, with dividends typically declared in January, April, July and October in each financial year.

In accordance with the articles of association of the Company (the "Articles") and a shareholder resolution passed at the annual general meeting of the Company held on 9 February 2018 (the "Existing Shareholder Authority"), the Directors may offer Shareholders a scrip dividend alternative (the "Scrip Dividend Alternative") whereby Shareholders may elect to receive new Ordinary Shares ("Scrip Shares") instead of their cash dividend payments (the "Relevant Dividends"). Shareholder authority to renew the Scrip Dividend Alternative will be sought at the Company's forthcoming annual general meeting, which has been convened for 15 February 2023. A circular containing the notice of the annual general meeting and details of this resolution was posted to Shareholders on 09 January 2023.

The Scrip Dividend Alternative enables Shareholders to increase their holding in the Company without incurring dealing costs and benefits the Company through the retention of cash which would otherwise be paid out as a cash dividend. Any such retained cash may be reinvested in accordance with the Company's investment objective and investment policy and/or used for working capital purposes.

The purpose of this circular is to provide Shareholders with further details of the Scrip Dividend Alternative in respect of the period from 1 October 2022 to 30 September 2023.

Scrip Dividend Alternative

The Company offers the Scrip Dividend Alternative for Ordinary Shareholders on the register on the Relevant Record Date and issues Scrip Shares to those Shareholders who indicate that they wish to receive Scrip Shares in lieu of cash.

Shareholders who make valid elections for the Scrip Dividend Alternative will receive an amount of Scrip Shares based on the value of the Relevant Dividend and the average mid-market price per Ordinary Share during the period from the Relevant XD Date and the four subsequent dealing days. Further details of the formulae used for calculating the Scrip Share entitlement are set out in Note 4 of the Terms and Explanatory Notes of this circular.

The indicative timetable for the Relevant Dividends in respect of the period from 1 October 2022 to 30 September 2023 is set out on page 2 of this circular. Details of each Relevant Dividend (including the Relevant Declaration Date, Relevant XD Date, Relevant Record Date, Relevant Scrip Share Reference Price, Relevant Dividend Deadline Date, Relevant Dividend Payment Date and Relevant Admission Date) will be

published on the Company's website and notified to Shareholders by way of an announcement via a Regulatory Information Service.

The Directors may revoke or suspend their decision to offer the Scrip Dividend Alternative at any time up to 5pm (GMT) on a Relevant Dividend Deadline Date in the event that they consider that the Scrip Dividend Alternative would be substantially less beneficial to Shareholders accepting the offer or where it would not be in the interests of Shareholders as a whole to offer the Scrip Dividend Alternative, including in the event that the Ordinary Shares are trading at a discount to their prevailing published net asset value from time to time.

The Terms and Explanatory Notes section of this circular provides more information on the Scrip Dividend Alternative and some of the UK taxation consequences as at the date of this circular.

Action to be taken - all Shareholders

Shareholders should be aware that the Scrip Dividend Alternative described in this circular is subject to certain terms and conditions, which are set out in full in the Terms and Explanatory Notes. It is recommended that you read the Terms and Explanatory Notes in full before completing the Scrip Dividend Mandate (for Shareholders who hold their Ordinary Shares in certificated form) or Dividend Election Input Message (for Shareholders who hold their Ordinary Shares in CREST), as appropriate.

Shareholders should note that the Scrip Dividend Alternative is offered at the absolute discretion of the Directors and, in particular, is conditional upon the admission of the relevant Scrip Shares to listing on the Official List and to trading on the London Stock Exchange. When considering what action to take, Shareholders are advised to obtain appropriate professional financial and/or tax advice.

FOR SHAREHOLDERS WISHING TO RECEIVE CASH DIVIDENDS

If you wish to continue to receive your dividends in cash (rather than in the form of Scrip Shares) and do not have a Scrip Dividend Mandate already in place, you do not need to take any action. Your full cash dividend entitlement will continue to be paid to you in the usual manner on the Relevant Dividend Payment Dates.

If you hold your Ordinary Shares in certificated form and have a Scrip Dividend Mandate in place but now wish to receive your dividends in cash, please refer to Note 5 of the Terms and Explanatory Notes for further details on cancelling your Scrip Dividend Mandate.

FOR SHAREHOLDERS WISHING TO RECEIVE SCRIP DIVIDENDS

If you wish to elect for the Scrip Dividend Alternative then the action to be taken depends on whether you hold your Ordinary Shares in certificated form or in uncertificated form (that is, in CREST).

For Shareholders who hold their Ordinary Shares in certificated form

If you hold your Ordinary Shares in certificated form and have already completed a Scrip Dividend Mandate and do not wish to cancel this, then you do not need to take any further action as your Scrip Dividend Mandate will remain in place (unless you later choose to cancel it).

If you hold share certificates for your Ordinary Shares and do not have a Scrip Dividend Mandate in place but wish to elect for the Scrip Dividend Alternative, then you will need to complete the Scrip Dividend Mandate (please refer to Note 5 of the Terms and Explanatory Notes for further details). The Scrip Dividend Mandate may be cancelled at any time and will apply in relation to all your Ordinary Shares.

5

The Scrip Dividend Mandate should be completed online via www.signalshares.com. Further details, including contact details for those Shareholders requiring assistance, are set out in Note 5 of the Terms and Explanatory Notes.

For Shareholders who hold their Ordinary Shares in CREST

Shareholders who hold their Ordinary Shares in CREST and wish to receive Scrip Shares in lieu of all or part of their cash dividend may elect for the Scrip Dividend Alternative by submitting a Dividend Election Input Message (as defined in the CREST Manual, available via www.euroclear.com/CREST). CREST Shareholders will need to make separate elections through CREST in respect of each Relevant Dividend.

Further details are set out in Note 6 of the Terms and Explanatory Notes.

Yours faithfully

Andrew Didham

Chairman
