AGM Statement

JPMorgan Flem Russian Secs PLC 01 March 2006 STOCK EXCHANGE ANNOUNCEMENT AGM STATEMENT JPMORGAN FLEMING RUSSIAN SECURITIES PLC 1st MARCH 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, two Special Resolutions were passed which: i) will allow the Company to make market purchases of up to 8,418,806 ordinary shares, representing 14.99% of the Company's issued share capital; ii) change the Company's name to 'JPMorgan Russian Securities plc'. Despite a majority of shareholders being in favour of the proposal to disapply pre-emption rights on allotment of new ordinary shares, the majority was insufficient to achieve the requisite 75% of those voting to carry a Special Resolution. Therefore, with the consent of the meeting, resolution 8 was withdrawn, together with resolution 7, which dealt with the authority to allot new ordinary shares. 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. 1st March 2006 For further information, please contact: Hilary Lowe 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
