RIGHTS AND ISSUES INVESTMENT TRUST PLC

("the Company")

LEI: 2138002AWAM93Z6BP574

Rights and Issues Investment Trust plc announces that at the General Meeting
of the Company duly convened and held on 8 May 2025, a special resolution to
authorise the Company to buy back its own shares was defeated on a poll.

The full text of the resolution can be found in the Shareholder Circular dated
11 April 2025 which is available at www.jupiteram.com/
uk/en/individual/rights-and-issues-investment-trust-plc

 

The results of the poll were as follows:

               Votes for  %       Votes against  %       Total      Votes withheld
 Resolution 1  2,121,522  73.84%  751,544        26.16%  2,873,066  426

 

The Board is disappointed at the result of the General Meeting which was the
result of opposition from a single material shareholder. Notwithstanding the
outcome of the vote, the Board still strongly believes that the share buyback
authority is fundamental to the Company's discount management policy and is
considering all options.

 

The poll results will also shortly be available on the Company's website at:
