Publication of Circular

The Board of Smithson Investment Trust plc (the "Company") announces that it
has today published a Circular (the "Circular") which contains notice of a
general meeting of the Company (the "General Meeting"), at which the Board
will seek shareholders' approval to renew the Company's share buy-back
authority. The General Meeting will be held at 9.30 a.m. on 3 December 2025 at
the offices of Apex Group, 4th Floor 140 Aldersgate Street, London, England,
EC1A 4HY.

Since April 2022, the Company has undertaken regular share buy-backs while the
Company's shares have been trading at a discount to the Company's net asset
value per share. In the light of the Company's recent buy-back activity, the
Board anticipates that the existing authority to repurchase shares (granted at
the Company's last annual general meeting held on 23 April 2025) may be fully
utilised before it can be refreshed at the Company's next annual general
meeting, which is expected to be held in April 2026.

Accordingly, the Board wishes to convene the General Meeting in order to seek
the necessary shareholder approval for a renewal of the Company's share
buy-back authority prior to the 2026 AGM. The granting of such authority by
shareholders will allow the Board to continue to operate the Company's share
buy-back programme.

The Circular and the Notice of General Meeting are available on the Company's
website at www.smithson.co.uk (http://www.smithson.co.uk) . A copy of the
Circular will also be submitted to the National Storage Mechanism and will
shortly be available for inspection at
https://data.fca.org.uk/#/nsm/nationalstoragemechanism
