1. OPENING

The Chair welcomes everybody and opens the meeting at 11.00 CEST.

The following people are present: Mr Joris Rademakers (executive director), Mr David Tuohy (non- executive director) and Ms Lisa McDermott (non-executive director) are together with the Chair in person. Mr Robin Duggan (executive director) and Mr Shaun Kingsbury (non-executive director), are participating in the Annual General Meeting virtually. Jan Hendriks from Deloitte Accountants B.V., is present virtually in connection with the audit of the Company, in accordance with the Dutch Corporate Governance Code.

The Chair gave some brief opening remarks on the Company and the last 12 months. Climate Transition Capital was formed by a highly experienced team of successful climate investors who recognised that the decarbonisation of the global economy must accelerate to meet the Paris Agreement goals, requiring a huge additional step-up in capital flows of around $3 trillion a year.

While the CTC team so far have spent their careers focused on conventional clean energy (such as wind and solar), this conventional sector in fact tackles less than one quarter of total CO2 emissions. The team's strategy therefore was to focus on the circa 50% of emissions produced by the so called 'hard to abate' sectors, such as industry, transport and construction.

Furthermore, our belief was that the shortage of private sector growth capital focused on climate transition opened up an enormous opportunity for the public capital markets to accelerate the growth of a disruptive climate transition business through the tool of a Special Purpose Acquisition Company or so- called SPAC.

The Company's aim therefore was to mobilise capital for a disruptive climate transition business that accelerates net zero in hard-to-abate industries.

While few could have predicted the events of the last two years in their entirety, most people would still agree that the need to mobilise the capital markets towards the climate transition could not be stronger.

The Chair then explained some housekeeping formalities. Voting for this Annual General Meeting was possible by written or electronic proxy including voting instructions and granting votes to the notary, as independent party. This meeting is recorded solely with the purpose of drawing up the minutes.

2. 2022 ANNUAL REPORT

Item 2a) Report of the Board for the financial year 2022

The Chair gave the floor to Joris Rademakers for a brief presentation about the financial year 2022.

Since the IPO, the CTC team screened 565 different climate transition opportunities, of which 262 were in the clean energy sector, 156 in green mobility and 147 in decarbonising industry. The team assessed 100 or one sixth of these opportunities in greater detail, split along similar lines - 45 in the clean energy sector, 35 in green mobility, and 19 in the decarbonising sector.

Within clean energy, the advanced clean power segment was the most active, with 21 companies analysed, followed by energy storage and batteries (9 companies) and new electricity supply models (8 companies).

Within green mobility, the EV & power train segment was the most active, with 12 companies analysed, followed by charging infrastructure (10 companies) and giga factories & battery supply chain (7 companies).

Lastly, within decarbonising industry, the construction segment was the most active, with 9 companies analysed, followed by financial services (6 companies) and plastic recycling (3 companies).

While global capital markets have continued to struggle in the face of many challenges, it is encouraging to see that climate transition investment surged to a new record in 2022.

At the start of 2023, Bloomberg New Energy Finance reported that global investment had reached a total of $1.1 trillion in 2022 (up 31% from $849 billion in 2021), as the energy crisis and policy action drove faster deployment of clean energy technologies, especially renewables and electric vehicles. This has meant that CO2 emissions from energy in 2022 grew only 1% on the previous year to 33.8 billion tonnes. For the first time, investment in low-carbon technologies reached parity with capital deployed in support of fossil fuels.

Furthermore, demand-side climate transition investment at $561 billion exceeded for the first-timesupply-side investment at $550 billion, with investment in electrified transport receiving nearly as much capital as renewable energy. Bloomberg's data show that China was by far the leading destination for attracting energy transition investment, accounting for $546 billion while the EU as a bloc, admittedly still much lower, came second at $141 billion. Investment in Europe was led by Germany ($55 billion), France ($29 billion) and the UK ($28 billion).

On the capital markets side, the very difficult market conditions throughout 2022 were further aggravated by the turmoil in the global banking system at the start of this year. In recognition of these realities, some of the European SPACs that listed just weeks ahead of the Company made the decision to go into liquidation.

The Climate Transition Capital team started the new year in a promising position with an exclusive agreement to merge with an attractive target company. Unfortunately, however, the team was unable to steer this opportunity to a successful conclusion, despite everyone's best efforts, and the exclusivity lapsed.

The team continued to work through all of its other potential opportunities until it became clear that there was insufficient time left to complete a transaction, even were an extension granted, and the decision was regretfully taken to liquidate the Company and return funds to our shareholders.

Meanwhile, it remains very much to be hoped that the global investor community can soon find the confidence and conviction to sustain climate transition investments at the levels needed to secure net- zero, with all the social, environmental, and economic benefits that would bring.

Item 2b) Remuneration report for the financial year 2022 (advisory vote)

The Chair explained that in accordance with the Dutch Civil Code, the 2022 remuneration report will be presented for an advisory vote.
