RESULTS OF THE EXTRAORDINARY GENERAL MEETING


The Board of Aberdeen Latin American Investment Trust PLC (the 'Company')
announces that at the extraordinary general meeting held today, shareholders
voted in favour of the resolution to direct the directors of the Company to put
forward proposals to liquidate, open-end or otherwise reconstruct the Company in
such a way that would allow shareholders to realise their investment in the
Company for cash at a minimum of 95 per cent. of net asset value per share.


The Board will now formulate proposals within the next 60 days to allow
shareholders to realise their investment. However, as explained in the circular
to shareholders dated 14 March 2003, the Board does not believe that it will be
possible to provide a cash exit at a minimum of 95 per cent. or more of net
asset value per share. The Board will shortly write to shareholders further in
this regard.
