VH GLOBAL ENERGY INFRASTRUCTURE
PLC
2 December 2024
Change of
Company Name and adoption of SDR label
The Company is pleased to announce
that, pursuant to Section 77 of the Companies Act 2006 and as
permitted by the Company's Articles of Association, it has resolved
to change the Company's name from VH Global Sustainable Energy
Opportunities PLC to VH Global Energy Infrastructure PLC, with
effect from 2 December 2024. The Company's ticker symbol for the
London Stock Exchange will be changed to 'ENRG'.
The Company's ISIN and SEDOL will
remain unchanged.
The name of the Company will be
updated on the London Stock Exchange in due course when the formal
documentation has been received from Companies
House.
The name change is being implemented
to align with new regulatory requirements for fund names. The
Company's sustainable investment objective-to "make an impact by
supporting the attainment and pursuit of key SDGs, where energy and
energy infrastructure investments directly contribute to
accelerating the energy transition"-remains unchanged.
In conjunction with the name change,
the Company announces its adoption of the 'Sustainability Impact'
label under the Financial Conduct Authority's ("FCA")
Sustainability Disclosure Requirements ("SDR"). This label
identifies investment products that aim to achieve a pre-defined
measurable impact in relation to an environmental and/or social
outcome.
The adoption of the 'Sustainability
Impact' label reflects the Company's continued commitment to
achieving its sustainability investment objective, while continuing
to target a 10% net and unlevered return, and a progressive and
covered annual dividend.
The Board and Victory Hill Capital
Partners LLP, the investment manager, have confirmed there is no
change to the investment process and have welcomed the clarity and
accountability the label brings, rather than limiting the
investment universe and value creation opportunities in its current
investments.
Bernard Bulkin, Chair of the
Company, "The adoption of this label highlights our dedication to
transparency and delivering real-world impact, providing investors
with confidence in our commitment to sustainability, specifically
the energy transition, climate change and air pollution reduction.
We are confident our investment process and measurement approach
are rigorous, enabling us to drive measurable environmental
outcomes while delivering sustainable financial
returns."
