STOCK EXCHANGE ANNOUNCEMENT AGM STATEMENT JPMORGAN FLEMING ASIAN INVESTMENT TRUST PLC ('The Company') 3RD FEBRUARY 2006 Following the Annual General Meeting of the Company, which was held today, the Board is pleased to announce that all of the Ordinary Resolutions put to shareholders were passed. In addition, three Special Resolutions were passed which: i) will allow the Company to make market purchases of up to 24,613,453 ordinary shares, representing 14.99% of the Company's issued share capital; ii) will allow the Company to disapply pre-emption rights on allotment of new ordinary shares; iii) change the Company's name to 'JPMorgan Asian Investment Trust plc'. Despite a clear majority of shareholders being in favour of the proposal to re-issue shares held in treasury at a discount to net asset value, the majority was insufficient to achieve the requisite 75% of those voting to carry a Special Resolution. Therefore, with the consent of the meeting, resolutions 10 and 11, as set out in the Notice of Meeting, were withdrawn. The change of Company name will become effective on the issue of the certificate of incorporation on change of name by the Registrar of Companies and a further announcement will follow in this respect. 8 February 2006 For further information, please contact: Philip Jones For and on behalf of JPMorgan Asset Management (UK) Limited - Company Secretary 020 7742 6000 This information is provided by RNS The company news service from the London Stock Exchange
