VPC Specialty Lending Investments PLC

(the "Company")

 

Reappointment of PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP ("PwC")

 

 

The company announces that a resolution to reappoint PwC will be put to the next Annual General Meeting of the Company scheduled for June 2025. 

 

In accordance with the Companies Act 2006, the Company commenced an audit tender process in August 2024 for the year ended 31 December 2025.  Four firms, including PwC were invited to participate in the tender with a view to a final selection by the Audit and Valuation Committee being made in October 2024 and a recommendation to the Board being made in November 2024.  The assessment criteria for the firms was based on quality of audit, and in particular on understanding of the business, including the approach to the audit of asset backed lending and unlisted equities, and the coordination of a multi-location audit.  A fee quote was requested.  During the course of the process, it became clear that because the Company is in wind-down, the firms other than PwC did not want to put themselves forward for the appointment.  The Company therefore applied to the Financial Reporting Council for an extension to the maximum duration of PwC's engagement to cover the years ending 31 December 2025 and 2026, in accordance with a procedure provided for in the Companies Act 2006.  This extension was granted on 23 October 2024.
