Share Split and Total Voting Rights

 

Further to the announcement on 25 February 2025 and in advance of the proposed
subdivision of its Ordinary shares on a five for one basis (the "Share Split")
which will take effect from 28 February 2025, The Scottish Oriental Smaller
Companies Trust plc (the "Company") announces it currently has in issue
23,239,666 Ordinary shares of 25 pence each in the capital of the Company (the
"Existing Ordinary shares") and 8,173,997 shares are held in Treasury.

 

On this basis and in accordance with the Financial Conduct Authority's
Disclosure Guidance and Transparency Rules, following the completion of the
Share Split, the Company will have 116,198,330 Ordinary shares of 5 pence each
in the capital of the Company (the "New Ordinary shares") in issue. In
addition to this, 40,869,985 Ordinary shares will be held in treasury.

 

The New Ordinary shares will have a new ISIN and SEDOL, as follows:

 

ISIN: GB00BRBL6574

SEDOL: BRBL657

 

It is expected that the Share Split will become effective and that dealings in
the New Ordinary shares will commence at 8.00am on Friday, 28 February 2025.
The last day of dealing in the Existing Ordinary shares will be today,
Thursday, 27 February 2025, with the record date for the Share Split being
6.00pm today (27 February 2025) (the "Record Date"). CREST accounts are
expected to be credited with New Ordinary shares on Friday, 28 February 2025
and share certificates in respect of the New Ordinary shares are expected to
be posted to shareholders no later than Saturday, 15 March 2025.

 

The above figure (116,198,330) may be used by shareholders as the denominator
for the calculations by which they will determine if they are required to
notify their interest in, or a change to their interest in the Company, under
the Disclosure Guidance and Transparency Rules.
