Triple Point Energy Transition
plc
("TENT" or the
"Company")
Result of General
Meeting
Appointment of Joint
Liquidators
The Board of Triple Point Energy Transition plc
announces the result of the Company's General Meeting held earlier
today.
All resolutions were voted by way of a poll and
the Board is pleased to announce that the resolutions required to
place the Company into members' voluntary liquidation
("Liquidation") were
approved by the requisite majorities of Shareholders. As a result,
Henry Anthony Shinners and Adam Henry Stephens, licensed insolvency
practitioners of Evelyn Partners LLP of 45 Gresham Street, London,
United Kingdom EC2V 7BG, (the "Joint Liquidators") have been appointed
with immediate effect.
The Joint Liquidators will use their best
endeavours to make the Initial Distribution of approximately £43
million to Shareholders as soon as possible and, in any event,
within 10 business days. The Joint Liquidators, in their absolute
discretion, will make further distributions of capital as and when
further cash from deferred payments becomes available and any
creditors have been satisfied, with a view to making a subsequent
distribution in Q3 2025 and a final distribution of any residual
cash (and winding up the Company) expected to be made in Q4
2026.
Trading in the Company's Shares remains
suspended and the Joint Liquidators will seek to cancel the
admission of the Shares to the Official List of the FCA and to
trading on the Main Market of the London Stock Exchange following
the payment of the Initial Distribution.
For the avoidance of doubt, in light of the
approval of the Liquidation, the Tender Offer will not
proceed.
Following the Liquidation's approval, Rosemary
Boot, Anthony White and Sonia McCorquodale have stepped down as
Directors of the Company with immediate effect.
Rosemary Boot,
Chair of the Company, commented:
"The Board would like to thank Shareholders for
taking the time to vote and have their voices heard at this crucial
meeting. The Liquidation is the conclusion of the Managed Wind-Down
process and represents the most cost-effective and tax-efficient
way of returning value to Shareholders, with the most
certainty.
With the appointment of the Joint Liquidators,
the powers of the Directors now cease and we have stepped down. On
behalf of my fellow Directors, I would like to thank Shareholders
for their support, as well as the Triple Point team and our other
advisers for their services over the past four years and for
helping to deliver a swift and successful Managed
Wind-Down."
