Results of Scheme Elections

In connection with the recommended proposals for the voluntary winding-up of
the Company and combination with Fidelity European Trust PLC ("FEV"), the
Board announces the following Elections pursuant to the Scheme:

•      Rollover Option: 219,332,970 Shares / 70.96% per cent. of issued
Shares which will be reclassified as Reclassified Shares with "A" rights,
being the right to receive New FEV Shares; and

•      Cash Option: 89,775,401 Shares / 29.04% per cent. of issued Shares
which will be reclassified as Reclassified Shares with "B" rights, being the
right to receive cash.

In accordance with the Scheme, eligible Shareholders that made no Election
have been deemed to have elected for the Rollover Option.

The Cash Option is limited in aggregate to 33.3 per cent. of the issued Shares
(excluding treasury Shares) as at close of business on 9 September 2025.
Shareholders were entitled to elect for the Cash Option in respect of more
than 33.3 per cent. of their individual holdings of Shares (the "Basic
Entitlement", such excess amount being an "Excess Application").

In light of the above elections, any Shareholders electing for the Cash Option
will have their Election satisfied in full (including any Excess Application).

In accordance with the timetable, applications have been made to the FCA and
to the London Stock Exchange for the Shares to be reclassified for listing
purposes with effect from 8.00 a.m. on 25 September 2025. The listing of, and
dealings in, the Company's Reclassified Shares are subsequently expected to be
suspended at 7.30 a.m. on 26 September 2025.

Defined terms used in this announcement have the meanings given in the
Company's circular to Shareholders dated 21 August 2025 (the "Circular"). The
Circular is available for viewing at the National Storage Mechanism which can
