London Stock Exchange Announcement

F&C Investment Trust plc

Share Split

LEI: 213800W6B18ZHTNG7371

Following the approval of shareholders at the Company's AGM held yesterday, 29 April 2026, the Company confirms that it expects the four for one share split to become effective on Monday 11 May 2026. The share split is conditional on the new ordinary shares being admitted to the Official List of the Financial Conduct Authority and to trading on the main market of the London Stock Exchange. Applications for such admissions have been made and, if accepted, it is proposed that the last day of dealings in the existing ordinary shares will be 8 May 2026, with the record date for the share split being 6.00 p.m. on that date. It is expected that the new ordinary shares will be admitted to the Official List, and that dealings in the new ordinary shares will commence, at 8.00 a.m. on 11 May 2026.

The new ordinary shares will have a new ISIN and SEDOL as follows:

ISIN: GB00BS88V647

SEDOL: BS88V64

The ticker for the new ordinary shares will remain the same as that for the existing ordinary shares (FCIT).

Following the share split, each shareholder will hold four new ordinary shares for each existing ordinary share that they held immediately prior to the share split. The new ordinary shares will rank pari passu with each other and will carry the same rights and be subject to the same restrictions as the existing ordinary shares. Communication preferences and mandates and other instructions for the payment of dividends will, unless and until revised, continue to apply.

Expected Timetable

30 April 2026
