*Please note that 'vote withheld' is not a vote under English law and is not counted in the calculation of votes 'for' or 'against' a resolution, or in the 'votes cast as a percentage of issued share capital'.

The Company is pleased that all of the resolutions put to the AGM today were passed with all of them receiving strong support, except for two resolutions which passed with just under 80% support. These results reflect a very positive engagement programme with major shareholders leading up to today's AGM. The Board also notes that in relation to resolution 11, the re-election of Karl Sternberg, the Board monitors and assesses the continuing contribution and commitment of all of its members and is satisfied that Mr Sternberg demonstrates strong enthusiasm and commitment to Jupiter and has sufficient time to devote to it. It notes that most of Mr Sternberg's external obligations are to investment trusts.

The issued share capital of the Company comprises 457,699,916 shares. Resolutions 19, 20 and 21 were passed as special resolutions.

The Company has today sent copies of the resolutions passed at the AGM concerning items other than ordinary business to the National Storage Mechanism and they are available for inspection at: http://www.morningstar.co.uk/uk/NSM.

Details of proxy votes lodged will be available shortly on the Company's website at https://www.jupiteram.com/Global/en/Investor-Relations/Shareholder-information/AGM-information.
