2 About this report This report is an export of the individual Signatory organisation responses to the PRI Reporting Framework during the 2018 reporting period. It shows your responses to all completed indicators, even those you chose to keep private. It is designed for your internal review or if you wish - to share with your stakeholders. The PRI will not publish this report on its website. Instead, you will be able to access the public RI Transparency report of your organisation and that of other signatories on the PRI website. The information is presented exactly as it was reported. Where an indicator offers a response option that is multiplechoice, all options that were available to the signatory to select are presented in this report. Presenting the information exactly as reported is a result of signatory feedback which suggested the PRI not summarise the information. As a result, the reports can be extensive. However, to help easily locate information, there is a Principles index which highlights where the information can be found and summarises the indicators that signatories complete and disclose. Understanding the Principles Index The Principles Index summarises the response status for the individual indicators and modules and how these relate to the six Principles for Responsible Investment. It can be used by stakeholders as an at a glance summary of reported information and to identify particular themes or areas of interest. Indicators can refer to one or more Principles. Some indicators are not specific to any Principle. These are highlighted in the General column. When multiple Principles are covered across numerous indicators, in order to avoid repetition, only the main Principle covered is highlighted. All indicators within a module are presented below. The status of indicators is shown with the following symbols: Symbol Status The signatory has completed all mandatory parts of this indicator The signatory has completed some parts of this indicator This indicator was not relevant for this signatory - The signatory did not complete any part of this indicator. The signatory has flagged this indicator for internal review Within the table, indicators marked in blue are mandatory to complete. Indicators marked in grey are voluntary to complete. 1

Triton and TAS formally adopted a RI Policy on 3rd May The key aims of the policy are: to ensure it is a fundamental part of the investment decision making process and that all Triton and West Park personnel are fully trained and cognisant of the policy; to reduce risk and enhance value in investment portfolios through focused and consistent consideration and management of ESG issues; 17

19 to identify and manage ESG issues throughout the investment cycle: pre-investment, during ownership and at exit; to implement effective governance structures, training programmes and communication procedures at the fund and portfolio company levels; to strive for continuous improvement in relation to ESG issues; and to communicate to the public, Triton's focus on ESG and build that into the firm's reputation. Funds managed by TIML strive for the successful development of the businesses that they invest with and to be prudent stewards of investors' capital. The RI policy was written and implemented in 2012 and was last reviewed in 2017 but not updated. The policy will continue to be reviewed on an annual basis going forward. Triton's RI strategy has 4 pillars as below. 1. Sensitise / train all relevant personnel. Triton implemented the training programme in 2013 and will continue to schedule mandatory ESG training sessions for all relevant Triton and West Park employees. 2. To ensure the consideration of ESG aspects throughout the due diligence process for prospective investment opportunities. 3. To work directly with portfolio companies in implementing the RI Policy and co-ordinating reporting on ESG performance. The ESG programme has been fully rolled out to all portfolio companies with the exception of those most recently acquired where integration is ongoing as part of the 100-day plan. 4. Benchmark and report on Triton ESG performance, using both public information (including, but not only, from United Nations Principles for Responsible Investing ("UN PRI")) and information from investee companies. Triton has filed publicly available UN PRI Transparency Reports since 2014 to increase transparency and facilitate efficient benchmarking. Portfolio companies started formal ESG reporting to Triton in Q Responsible investing is, in its formal sense, a relatively recent development for the private equity industry as a whole and the firm's approach is continuously improved and developed. For example, Triton has recently updated the new joiner induction training programme to include a discussion of Triton's approach to responsible investment, ESG programme and compliance. RI (or as we prefer to call it, "investing responsibly") is an agenda item at Advisory Board meetings of the Triton Funds where a Risk Report is presented and discussed. The RI Policy of Triton and TAS was developed in alignment with the requirements of the UN Global Compact's ten principles in the areas of human rights, labour, the environment and anti-corruption, the Universal Declaration of Human Rights of the United Nations as well as the OECD guidelines for Multinational Enterprises. The relevant General Partner Boards are responsible for our commitment to being responsible investors and have delegated this responsibility to TIML who has delegated this to the CFO/COO. Given the importance of the GP Boards and TIML training and updates are provided on a regular basis. Responsibility for day to day implementation of the Responsible Investment (RI) strategy has been delegated to the Head of ESG, who joined in 2013 and is fully dedicated to Triton's ESG initiatives, and the Head of Compliance. SG 03 Mandatory Public Core Assessed General SG 03.1 Indicate if your organisation has a policy on managing potential conflicts of interest in the investment process. Yes SG 03.2 Describe your policy on managing potential conflicts of interest in the investment process. Relevant Triton Funds adopt Allocation Policies that regulate how investments are allocated between Funds where necessary to manage conflicts in a fair and transparent manner. In addition there are provisions for consultation with relevant Advisory Boards to consult on conflicts. All Triton executives and non-executive directors are required to declare any interests that may conflict with the interest of Triton and Triton Funds. 18

20 Given the increasing complexity of allocation decisions related to Triton's multi strategy approach, Triton will finalise an overarching conflicts of interest policy during No SG 04 Voluntary Private Descriptive General SG 04.1 Indicate if your organisation has a process for identifying and managing incidents that occur within portfolio companies. Yes No SG 04.2 Describe your process on managing incidents In late 2013 Triton started a programme to ensure that all its portfolio company boards and management teams were aware and implementing actions, where appropriate, to align with Triton s ESG expectations. Triton s ESG programme has been applied to all portfolio companies and not just the most recent acquisitions. The intention, as members of the boards of these companies, is to ensure they address the most critical gaps and weaknesses, making use wherever possible of their existing strengths. This company by company approach fits well with Triton's core investment process. Investment teams are instructed to add this aspect of analysis and engagement to current processes, with support from the ESG Team and with oversight from the COO. Part of the first phase includes: - Triton's Portfolio Company Compliance Policy and Toolkit; - Triton's Portfolio Company Monitoring and Reporting Framework ( PCMCF ); - a requirement to complete Triton's ESG Self-Assessment / ESG Gap Analysis; and - a requirement to prepare an ESG action plan that is reviewed and approved by the board. The aim of the programme is to ensure that both Triton and its portfolio companies will have appropriate policies, programmes and ultimately KPIs to address the ESG risks and opportunities relevant to their business activities. The PCMCF sets out reporting procedures for portfolio companies, whereby the portfolio company board has responsibility for all reporting, including ESG. The PCMCF has a specific crisis management section that defines reporting requirements between portfolio companies and Triton.
