NOTES:

The Company investsin social housing assets in the UK, with a particular focus on supported housing. The assets within the portfolio willtypicallybe subject to inflation-adjusted, long-term(from 20 years to 25 years), Fully Repairing and Insuring ('FRI') leases with RegisteredProviders. The portfolio will comprise investments into properties which are already subject to an FRI lease with a Housing Association, Local Authority or other regulated organisation, as well as forward funding of pre-let developments but will not include any direct development or speculative development.There is increasing political and financial pressure on Housing Associations to increase their housing delivery and this is creating opportunities for private sector investors to participate in the market.The Group's ability to provide forward financing for new developments not only enables the Company to secure fit for purpose, modern assets for its portfolio but also addressesthe chronic undersupply of suitable supported housing properties in the UK at sustainable rents anddelivering returns to investors.Triple Point Investment Management LLP (part of the Triple Point Group) isresponsible for management of the Group's portfolio (with such functions having been delegated to it by Langham Hall Fund Management LLP, the Company's alternative investment fund manager).
