Notice of 2020 Annual General Meeting

The Board of Gresham House Renewable Energy VCT 1 plc (GV1O & GV1A) is pleased to announce its Annual General Meeting for 2020. The AGM will be held at 11:00 a.m. on 25 June 2020 at the offices of Dickson Minto W.S., 16 Charlotte Square, Edinburgh EH2 4DF.

The Company announced on 17 March 2020 that the Annual General Meeting of the Company proposed to be held on 17 March 2020 was to be postponed as a result of the facilities for the Annual General Meeting no longer being available due to JTC (UK) Limited closing the proposed venue following guidance from the UK Government in relation to the COVID-19 pandemic.

Full details of the meeting and the resolutions that will be put to shareholders are set out in the Notice of Annual General Meeting which is available on the Company's website https://greshamhouse.com/real-assets/new-energy/gresham-house-renewable-energy-vct-1-plc/ .

Given the risks posed by the COVID-19 pandemic and in accordance with the Government's guidance that everyone should avoid non-essential contact with others and unnecessary travel, the Company will impose entry restrictions on shareholder attendance at the AGM. We have not taken this decision easily, but consider this to be in our shareholders' best interests.

Only the formal statutory business of the AGM will be conducted on 25 June 2020. There will be no presentations by either Gresham House (the "Investment Adviser") or the Board at the AGM.

If, due to Government restrictions, it is not possible for any of the Directors to attend the AGM, in order to ensure that a quorum is present, two representatives of Dickson Minto W.S., who will be appointed as proxies, will be present at the AGM.

In order to ensure that your votes are registered in the event that attendance at the AGM is not possible or restricted, shareholders are strongly advised to vote in advance of the AGM. If shares are not held directly shareholders are encouraged to arrange for their nominee to vote on their behalf. Details on how to vote are contained in the Notice of Annual General Meeting. Please note that all proxy votes should be received not later than 11:00 a.m. on 23 June 2020.

Further, the Company will also be accepting questions from shareholders in advance of the AGM. These questions will be reviewed in advance of the meeting and addressed at the AGM. If you would like to ask a question, please can you email your question through to the Company's Company Secretary at the following email address: GreshamVCTs@jtcgroup.com. Please note all questions should be submitted by close of business on Friday, 19 June 2020. The Company will endeavour to publish responses to all appropriate questions received on the Company's website prior to the date on which proxy votes are due to be delivered.

The Board acknowledges that this is an unprecedented approach for the Company, but we hope that shareholders will appreciate that these are unique circumstances. The Board will continue to monitor Government guidance and will update shareholders on any changes to the above measures by way of an announcement to the London Stock Exchange and through the Company's website.
