Results of First General Meeting

In connection with the proposals for a combination of the assets of the Company with Murray Income Trust plc (“Murray Income” or "MUT") by means of a scheme of reconstruction and winding up of the Company under section 110 of the Insolvency Act 1986 (the “Scheme”), the Board is pleased to announce that the special resolutions, which were put forward at the First General Meeting held today, have been approved by Shareholders.

The full text of the special resolutions can be found in the notice of First General Meeting contained in the Company’s circular to Shareholders dated 12 October 2020 (the "Circular"). The Circular is available for viewing at the National Storage Mechanism which can be located at https://data.fca.org.uk/#/nsm/nationalstoragemechanism and on the Company’s website, https://www.invesco.com/uk/en/investment-trusts/individual/perpetual-income-and-growth-investment-trust-plc.html

Results of Elections

The Company received the following elections (including deemed elections) in connection with the Scheme:

Rollover Option: 141,052,192 Shares

Cash Option: 72,801,139 Shares

The Cash Option, which is limited to 20 per cent. of the Shares in issue (excluding Shares held in treasury), was therefore oversubscribed. Accordingly, the Basic Entitlement of all Shareholders who have validly elected or deemed to have elected for the Cash Option will be accepted in full and Excess Applications for the Cash Option will be scaled back into New MUT Shares on a pro rata basis. Excess Applications will be satisfied to the extent of approximately 40.1 per cent. of the excess Applications made.

In accordance with the Scheme, eligible Shareholders that made no Election have been deemed to have elected for the Rollover Option.

Accordingly, after scaling back Excess Applications, 80 per cent. of the Company’s Shares will rollover into Murray Income, with the balance taking the Cash Option.

Therefore, the Shares will be reclassified as follows:

171,082,665 Shares with "A" rights, being the right to receive New MUT Shares; and

42,770,666 Shares with "B" rights, being the right to receive cash.

The amendment to the listing of the Shares has been requested and dealings in the Reclassified Shares are expected to commence at 8:00 a.m. on 16 November 2020, and the listing and dealings in Reclassified Shares is subsequently expected to be suspended at 7:30 am on 17 November 2020.

Defined terms used in this announcement have the meanings given in the Circular unless the context otherwise requires.
