Engagement with Dissenting Shareholders

Shareholders are further advised that, whilst ordinary resolution number 10, relating to the non-binding advisory vote on Grit's implementation report on the remuneration policy, was supported by the majority of shareholders, the Company does recognise that it was voted against by 28.60% of the votes exercised by the Company's shareholders present in person or represented by proxy at the AGM.

The executives of Grit have taken this on board and are committed to achieving a greater understanding of the underlying reasons that has seen some shareholders being unable to support this resolution. The executives of Grit will initiate a consultation with the Company's shareholders including dissenting shareholders on Wednesday, 17 January 2024 at 13.00 hours Mauritius time (09.00 hours UK time) via a telephone conference to further understand their position and perspectives on the resolution.

All shareholders are asked to confirm their participation to the company secretary by e-mail at Grit@intercontinentaltrust.com by no later than close of business on Wednesday 10 January 2024, who will provide dial-in details for the telephone conference. Shareholders are further invited to forward their concerns/questions on the remuneration policy to the company secretary in writing by close of business on Wednesday, 10 January 2024.

An update on the views received from shareholders and actions taken will be published no later than six months after the meeting with the dissenting shareholders.
