Dear Shareholder,

Notice of Annual General Meeting ("AGM")

1. Introduction

The purpose of this document is to provide you with details of the Resolutions to be proposed at the AGM of Oryx International Growth Fund Limited ("the Company") to be held on 18 August 2022 at 10:00 BST and convened by the formal Notice of AGM set out at the end of this document.

On 7 July 2022, the Company announced its final results for the year ended 31 March 2022. A copy of the 2022 Annual Report and Financial Statements ("Annual Report") is available on the Company's website (https://www.oryxinternationalgrowthfund.co.uk/resultsreports).

2. Explanation of the Resolutions

  1. Resolution 1 - Receipt of Annual Report
    The Directors are required to lay before the AGM the Company's Annual Report and the Directors' Report and Auditor's Report in respect of the year ended 31 March 2022.
  2. Resolutions 2 to 8 - Re-election of Directors
    Having served for more than nine years as non-executive Directors, Mr Nigel Cayzer, Mr Walid Chatila, Mr Rupert Evans, Mr John Grace, and Mr John Radziwill are retiring in accordance with the UK Corporate Governance Code and, being eligible, seek re-election to the Board.
    In accordance with Listing Rule 15.2.13A, which requires directors of any company in the same group as the Investment Manager to be subject to annual re-election, Mr Sidney Cabessa and Mr Christopher Mills being directors of companies in the same group as the Investment Manager, are retiring and being eligible, seek re-election to the Board.
    The Board continues to believe that Mr Cayzer, Mr Chatila, Mr Evans, Mr Grace, and Mr Radziwill are independent and that all the Directors standing for re-election make an effective and valuable contribution to the Board.
    Biographical details for each of the Directors are shown in the Corporate Governance Report in the Annual Report.
  3. Resolution 9 - Appointment and remuneration of the auditor
    The Company is required to appoint an auditor at each general meeting at which accounts are laid before the Company. The appointed auditor is to hold office until the next such meeting. Under the authority granted them at the 2021 AGM, the Directors appointed RSM CI (Audit) Limited as the Company's auditor and following the recommendation of the Company's audit committee, the Directors recommend that RSM CI (Audit) Limited be reappointed as auditor to the Company and that the Directors be authorised to determine their remuneration.

2.4 Resolution 10 - Repurchase of the Company's Ordinary Shares

Resolution 10 seeks to renew the Company's authority to buy back its Ordinary Shares. The authority under this resolution is limited to the purchase of a maximum of 10 per cent. of the aggregate number of Ordinary Shares in issue immediately following the passing of this resolution.

This authority will expire upon the date of the next AGM of the Company or, if earlier, on the expiry of 18 months from the passing of the resolution, unless previously renewed, varied or revoked by the Company in general meeting. As at the date of this Circular, the Directors have no present intention to exercise the authority to be granted pursuant to this resolution.

3. Action to be taken

Shareholders will find enclosed with this document a Form of Proxy for use in connection with the AGM. In light of the present outbreak of COVID-19, Shareholders are strongly encouraged to exercise their votes using the Form of Proxy, where possible, in order to avoid the need for attendance at a physical gathering. If you do wish to attend the Annual General Meeting in person, please inform the Company's registrar as soon as possible so that appropriate safety arrangements can be put in place for attendees.

The return of the completed Form of Proxy or CREST Proxy Instruction will not affect your right as a Shareholder to attend the AGM and vote in person if you wish to do so.

4. Recommendation

The Directors consider all Resolutions to be in the best interests of the Company and the Shareholders as a whole. Accordingly, the Directors unanimously recommend that Shareholders vote in favour of all resolutions to be proposed at the AGM, as they intend to do in respect of their own personal beneficial shareholdings which they can vote.

Yours faithfully

Nigel Cayzer

Notes:

  1. Resolutions 1 to 10 are proposed as ordinary resolutions. For each ordinary resolution to be passed, more than half of the votes cast (by proxy or in person) must be in favour of the resolution.
  2. Every member entitled to attend and vote at the AGM is entitled to appoint a proxy to attend, speak and vote in his/her stead. A proxy need not be a member of the Company. A body corporate may appoint an authorised person to attend, speak and vote on its behalf. The instrument appointing a proxy must be lodged at Link Group, PXS, 10th Floor, Central Square, 29 Wellington Street, Leeds, LS1 4DL at least 48 hours before the commencement of the meeting.
  3. All Shareholders have equal voting rights based on the number of Shares held. The total number of Shares (and, accordingly, voting rights) in the Company as at the date of this document is 14,052,125.
  4. Where there are joint registered holders of any Share, the vote of the first-named of the joint holders who tenders a vote whether in person or by proxy shall be accepted to the exclusion of the votes of the other joint holders and for this purpose seniority should be determined by the order in which the names stand in the register of members in respect of the joint holding.
  5. A member may terminate a proxy's authority at any time before the commencement of the meeting. In order to revoke a proxy instruction, you will need to inform Link Group by sending a signed notice clearly stating your intention to revoke your proxy appointment to Link Group, PXS, 10th Floor, Central Square, 29 Wellington Street, Leeds, LS1 4DL. In the case of a member which is a company, the revocation notice must be executed under its common seal or signed on its behalf by an officer of the company or a duly appointed attorney for the company. Any power of attorney or other authority under which the revocation notice is signed (or a duly certified copy of such power of authority) must be included with the revocation notice. The revocation notice must be received by Link Group no later than 10:00 a.m. on 16 August 2022. If you attempt to revoke your proxy appointment but the revocation is received after the time specified then, subject to the paragraph directly below, your proxy appointment will remain valid.
  6. To change your proxy instructions, simply submit a new proxy appointment using the methods set out above. Note that the cut-off time for receipt of proxy appointments (see above) also applies in relation to amended instructions; any amended proxy appointment received after the relevant cut-off time will be disregarded.
  7. The quorum for the Annual General Meeting will be two or more Members holding 5 per cent. of more of the voting rights present in person or by proxy. In the event that a quorum is not present for the Annual General Meeting within 30 minutes of the time appointed for the Annual General Meeting, the Annual General Meeting shall stand adjourned to 10 a.m. 8 September 2022 at the offices of BNP Paribas House, St Julian's Avenue, St Peter Port, Guernsey GY1 1WA and no notice of adjourned meeting need be given.
  8. CREST members who wish to appoint a proxy or proxies through the CREST proxy appointment service may do so for the Meeting (and any adjournment thereof) by following the procedures described in the CREST Manual. CREST personal members or other CREST sponsored members (and those CREST members who have appointed a voting service provider) should refer to their CREST sponsor or voting service provider, who will be able to take the appropriate action on their behalf.
    In order for a proxy appointment or instruction made by means of CREST to be valid, the appropriate CREST message (a "CREST Proxy Instruction") must be properly authenticated in accordance with Euroclear UK & Ireland Limited's ("Euroclear") specifications and must contain the information required for such instructions, as described in the CREST Manual. The message (regardless of whether it relates to the appointment of a proxy or to an amendment to the instruction given to a previously appointed proxy) must, in order to be valid, be transmitted so as to be received by Link Group (whose CREST ID is RA10) by 10:00a.m. on 16 August 2022. For this purpose, the time of receipt will be taken to be the time (as determined by the timestamp applied to the message by the CREST Applications Host) from which Link Group is able to retrieve the message by enquiry to CREST in the manner prescribed by CREST. After this time any change of instructions to proxies appointed through CREST should be communicated to the appointee through other means.
