Henderson Far East Income Limited

Publication of Circular

Further to the announcement made on 25 June 2018, Henderson Far East Income Limited (the "Company") has today published a circular in relation to the proposals for the Company to become UK tax resident and join the UK's investment trust regime (the "Proposals"). Given the Company's investments are primarily made in the Asia Pacific region, the Board believes that being UK tax resident will enable the Company to benefit from a number of double taxation treaties between the UK and jurisdictions where the Company invests thereby lowering withholding tax rates applicable to a significant proportion of the dividends received by the Company which will increase the revenue available for distribution.

As well as providing further details of the Proposals, the circular includes a notice of an extraordinary general meeting to be held at 12 noon on Friday, 31 August 2018 at IFC1, The Esplanade, St Helier, Jersey JE1 4BP to approve the implementation of the Proposals by way of adoption of new articles of association of the Company.

A copy of the circular has been submitted to the National Storage Mechanism and will be available for inspection at http://www.morningstar.co.uk/uk/nsm.do.
