THE SLAUGHTERAND MAY CHARITABLE TRUST Trustee's report for tha year ended 5 April 2024 (continued) Since the Committee is composed of Partners of Slaughter and May. no formal additional trustee training is considered necessary. The Committee makes annual grants at its discretion to a small number of specific charitable causes and does not generally accept unsolicited funding applications. Other than the level of annual income. no limits are imposed on the size of the grants. Review of actlvltles During the year to 5 April 2024, the Charity provided support to charitable work in accordance with its objects and strategy. Income of £691,026 was recelved durlng the year (2023 - £663.375). This funding is applied to furthering the objects of the Charity and the trustee made grants totalling £691,026 during the year (2023- £603,375). The net movement in funds during the year to 5 April 2024 was £0 (2023 £60.000). as shown in the statement of financial activities. increase of At the year end the Charity has net assets of £10 (2023 - £10). The net assets comprised the £10 initial capital sum. The Charity's aim is to distribute all income received, leaving the initial balance of £10 remaining. Other than those liabilities arising from the practice of accounting for donations in the year of initial commitment, the Charity has achieved its objective. Plans for future developments In the coming year, the Charity will continue to provide charitable support in accordance with its objects. Any unrestrlcted funds held at the year end are retalned to flnance the Charity's policy of charitable support. Reserves policy and rlsk management It is the intention of the Trust to distribute all donations received as grants annually with the exception of the initial £10 capital sum. Any balan￿ or deficit at the year end is due to short term timing differences. The trustee continues to consider the risks affecting the Charity and takes steps to minimise those risks when required. The most significant risk to the Charity is that of potential Misappropriation of funds. As far as possible. duties have been segregated to minimise this risk.

THE SLAUGHTER AND MAY CHARITABLE TRUST Trustee's report for the year ended 5 April 2024 (continued) There is also a risk that donations in future years will not be sufficient to meet the future commitments made in the current year. When such future (long term) commitments have been made, assurances have been given by the Partners of Slaughter and May that these commitments will be met. There are currently no future commitments in place. Statèment of trustee's responsibilities The trustee is responsible for preparing the Trustee's Report and the financial statements In accordance with applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice). The law appllcable to charities in England and Wales requI￿S the trustee to prepare financlal statements for each financial year which glve a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the charity and of the Incomlng resources and application of resources, Including income and expenditure, of the charity for that period.

THE SLAUGHTER AND MAY CHARITABLE TRUST Independent auditor's report to the trustee of The Slaughter and May Charitable Trust Opinlon We have audited the financial statem8nts of The Slaughter and May Charitable Trust for the year ended 5 April 2024 which comprise the Statement of Financial Activities, the Balance Sheet, the Cashflow Statement and notes to the financial statements, including a summary of significant accounting policies. The financial reporting framework that has been applied in their preparation is applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards. including FRS 102 'The Financial Reporting Standard Applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland, (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice). In our opinion the financial statements: give a true and fair view of the state of the charity's affairs as at 5 April 2024, and of its incoming resources and application of resources, for the year then ended. have been prop8rly prepared in accordance wlth United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice; and have been prepared in accordance with the requirements of the Charities Act 2011 . Bagls for oplnlon We conducted our audit in accordance with International Standards on Auditing (UK) (ISAs(UK)) and applicable law. Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditor's Responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements section of our report. We are independent of the charity in accordance with the ethical requirements that are relevant to our audit of the financial statements in the UK, including the FRC'S Ethical Standard, and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities In accordance with these requirements. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. Conclusions relating to golng concern In auditing the financial statements. we have concluded that the trustee's use of the going concern basis of accounting in the preparation of the financial statements is appropriate. Based on the work we have performed, we have not identified any material uncertainties relating to events or conditions that, individually or collectively. may cast significant doubt on the charity's ability to continue as a going concern for a period of at least twelve months from when the financial statements are authorised for issue. Our responsibilities and the responsibilities of the trustee with respect to going concern are described in the relevant sections of this report. Other information The other information comprises the information included in the annual report, other than the financial statements and our auditor's report thereon. The trustee is responsible for the other information. Our opinion on the financial statements does not cover the other information and,

THE SLAUGHTERAND MAY CHARITABLE TRUST except to the extent otherwise explicitly stated in our report, we do not express any form of assurance conclusion thereon. In connection with our audit of the financial statements, our responsibility is to read the other information and, in doing so. consider whether the other information is materially inconsistent with the financial statements or our knowledge obtained in the audit or otherwise appears to be materially misstated. If we identify such material inconsistencies or apparent material misstatements, we are required to determine whether there is a material misstatement in the financial statements or a material misstatement of the other information. If, based on the work we have performed, we conclude that there is a material misstatement of this other information. we are required to report that fact. We have nothing to report in this regard, Matt•r8 on whlch we are requlred to report by •xceptlon We have nothing to report in respect of the following matters where the Charities Act 2011 requires us to report to you Sf, in our opinion: the information glven in the Trustee's Annual Report is inconsistent In any material respect with the financial statements,. or the charity has not kept adequate accounting records,. or the financial ststements are not in agreement with the accounting records and returns,. or we have not received all the information and explanations we required for our audit. Respon8lbiliti08 of trustee As explained more fully in the trustee's responsibilities statement, the trustee is responsible for the preparation of the financial statements and for being satisfied that they give a true and fair view, and for such internal control as the trustee determines Is necessary to enable the preparation of financlal statements that are free from materlal rnisstatement. whether due to fraud or error. In preparlng the financial statements, the trustee Is responsible for assess5ng the charity's ability to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless the trustee either intends to liquidate the charity or to cease operations, or has no realistic alternative but to do so. Auditor's responslblllties for the audit of the financlal statements We have been appointed as auditor under section 144 of the Charities Act 2011 and report in accordance with regulations made under section 154 of that Act. Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor's report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance. but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with ISAS (UK) will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are

THE SLAUGHTER AND MAY CHARITABLE TRUST considered material if, individually or in aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these financial statements. Irregularities, including fraud, are instances of non-compliance with laws and regulations. We design procedures in line with our responsibilities. outlined above. to detect material misstatements in respect of irregularities. including fraud. The extent to which our prO￿dureS are capable of detecting irregularities, including fraud is detailed below. Explanation as to what éxtent the audit was considered capable of detectlng irregularities, Including fraud The objectives of our audit in respect of fraud. are.. to identfy and assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements due to fraud. to obtain sufficient appropriate audit eviden￿ regarding the assessed risks of material misstatement due to fraud, through designing and implemenling appropriate responses to those assessed risks,. and to respond appropriately to instances of fraud or suspected fraud identified during the audit. However, the primary responsibility for the prevention and detection of fraud rests with both management and those charged with governance of the charity. Our approach was as follows: We obtained an understanding of the legal and regulatory requirements applicable to the charity and considered that the most significant are the Charities Act 2011, the Charity SORP, and UK financial reporting Standards as issued by the Financial Reporting Council. We obtained an understanding of how the charity complies with these requirements by discussions with management. We assessed the risk of material misstatement of the financial statements, including the risk of material misstatement due to fraud and how it might occur. by holding discussions with management. We Inquired of management and those charged with governance as to any known instsnces of non-compliance or suspected non-compliance with laws and regulations. Based on this understanding, we designed specrfic appropriate audit procedures to identify instances of non-compliance with laws and regulations. This included making enquiries of management and obtaining additional corroborative eviden￿ as required. As part of an audit in accordance with ISAS (UK) we exercise professional judgement and maintain professional scepticism throughout the audit. We also: Identify and assess the risk5 of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to fraud or error. design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks, and obtain audit evidence that is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. The risk of not detecting a material misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than for one resulting from error. as fraud may involve collusion. forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internal control. Obtain an understanding of internal control relevant to the audit in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purposes of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the charity's internal control.

THE SLAUGHTERAND MAY CHARITABLE TRUST Evaluate the 8ppropriaten8ss of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates and related disclosures made by the trustee. Conclude on the appropriateness of the trustee's use of the going concern basis of accounting and, based on the audit evidence obtained, whether a material uncertainty exist5 related to events or conditions that may cast significant doubt on the charity's ability to continue as a going cOn￿rn. If we conclude that a material uncertainty exist5, we are required to draw attention in our auditor's report to the related disclosures in the financial statements or. if such disclosures are inadequate, to modify our opinion. Our conclusions are based on the audit evidence obtained up to the date of our auditor's report. However, future events or conditions may cause the charity to cease to continue as a going concern. Evaluate the overall presentation, structure and content of the financial statements, including the disclosures, and whether the financial statements represent the underlying transactions and events in a manner that achieves fair presentation. There are inherent limitatSons In the audit procedures described above. We are less likely to become aware of instances of non-compliance with laws and regulations that are not closely related to events and transactions reflected in the financlal statements, Also, the risk of not detecting a material misstatement due to fraud is higher than the risk of not detecting one resulting from error, as fraud may Involv6 deliberate concealment by, for ex8mple, forgery or intentional misrepresentations. or through collusion. We communicate with those charged with governance regarding, among other matters, the planned scope and timing of the audit and significant audit findings, including any significant deficiencies in internal control that we identify during our audit. Use of our report This report is made solely to the charity's trustee in accordance with Chapter 3 of Part 8 of the Charities Act 2011. Our audit work has been undertaken so that we might state to the charity's trustee those matters we are required to State to them in an auditor's report and for no other purpose.
