Investment Manager

LONDON STOCK EXCHANGE ANNOUNCEMENT

JPMORGAN INCOME & GROWTH INVESTMENT TRUST PLC

("the Company")

INVESTMENT MANAGER

Sarah Emly, co-portfolio manager for JPMorgan Income & Growth Investment Trust plc, will be taking a period of leave away from the office for health reasons, with immediate effect.

Sarah has worked closely alongside a number of senior JPMAM portfolio managers for 20 years; those colleagues continue to manage all portfolios as normal in her absence, supported by a well resourced broader team of investment professionals. There will be no changes to investment strategy and Sarah's co-manager, John Baker will continue to ensure seamless continuity for shareholders.

It is both Sarah's and our intent that she will return to her role at the end of her absence.
