LONDON STOCK EXCHANGE ANNOUNCEMENT

 

 

JPMORGAN US SMALLER COMPANIES INVESTMENT TRUST PLC

(the 'Company')

 

TRANSACTION IN OWN SHARES

 

 

Legal Entity Identifier: 549300MDD7SOXDMBN667

 

 

The Company announces that, on 26 March 2024, it re-purchased 99,990 ordinary
shares ('Ordinary Shares') for cancellation at 400.5 pence per share (the
'Repurchase').

 

The Ordinary Shares, the subject of the Repurchase, were those of untraced
shareholders, i.e. shareholders who had not claimed or cashed any dividend
payments from the Company over a period of at least 12 years. The Repurchase,
which was undertaken in accordance with the Company's Articles of Association,
only took place after an extensive shareholder identification and share
forfeit notification process by the Company.

 

The Repurchase equates to approximately 0.2 per cent. of the issued Ordinary
Shares and was undertaken in accordance with the terms of the general
authority to make market purchases of Ordinary Shares granted to the Company
by its shareholders at its Annual General meeting on 24 April 2023. The
Repurchase was executed on the London Stock Exchange through the Company's
broker, Deutsche Numis.

 

Following the Repurchase, the Company has 63,273,209 Ordinary shares in issue.
This figure excludes 2,133,066 ordinary shares held by the Company in
Treasury.
