### CLIMATE RISK & OPPORTUNITY OVERSIGHT

Antin has formed a two-tiered sustainability governance structure composed of sustainability committees at Group Board and operational levels. These committees oversee the implementation of the firm's climate change strategy which is led internally by a dedicated Sustainability team.

#### Management's role in assessing and managing climate-related risks and opportunities

On a day-to-day basis, the monitoring of climate risks and opportunities at the portfolio level is the responsibility of the Sustainability team. Pre-investment, this is primarily undertaken via coordination with deal teams and directors to assess risks and opportunities prior to issuing a non-binding offer. Climate risks and opportunities flagged as potentially material are then assessed in more detail as part of ESG due diligence and reported to the Investment Committee prior to issuance of a binding offer. During the holding period, regular ongoing engagement with portfolio companies as part of Antin's ESG engagement programme for all funds also allows escalation of concerns to executive committees and company Boards for mitigation where required.

On a quarterly basis, the Sustainability team reports to the Operational Sustainability Committee, made up of members of the Executive Committee. The Committee is responsible for providing strategic guidance on ESG-related matters at both corporate and portfolio levels, including on the management of any identified material climate risks and opportunities.

#### Board's oversight of climate-related risks and opportunities

The Group Board Sustainability Committee, headed by an Independent Board Member, meets at least bi-annually and is responsible for the oversight of Antin's overall sustainability strategy, covering climate risks and opportunities among other topics. This Committee is joined, among others, by Antin's Sustainability Director and a member of the Group's Operational Sustainability Committee.

The Group Board Sustainability Committee and Operational Sustainability Committee hold responsibility for ensuring climate risks and opportunities are properly considered throughout the investment process across the Group. Both committees sit within the broader committee structure for risk governance at Antin, as outlined below. AIP UK reports to the Group Board in line with the Group process below.
