CIRCULAR CONVENING A GENERAL MEETING

In order to meet the continuing demand for shares in The Scottish Oriental Smaller Companies Trust plc (the "Company"), the board of directors of the Company (the "Board") is seeking an early renewal of its authority to issue further shares for cash on a non pre-emptive basis. 

Accordingly, the Company has today issued a circular convening a general meeting to be held at 9.00 a.m. on 23 May 2013 at 10 St. Colme Street, Edinburgh EH3 6AA (the "General Meeting").

At the General Meeting, resolutions will be put to shareholders (i) to make a number of amendments to the articles of association primarily to remove its authorised share capital but also to reflect legislative changes brought in by the Companies Act 2006; (ii) to give the Board authority to allot new shares up to an aggregate nominal amount of £400,000; and (iii) to disapply rights of pre-emption in relation to the allotment of new shares up to an aggregate nominal amount of £400,000.

Copies of the circular have been submitted to the FCA, and will be available for inspection at the National Storage Mechanism which is located at http://www.hemscott.com/nsm.do.

Copies of the circular will also be available for collection during normal business hours on any day (Saturdays, Sundays and public holidays excepted) from the registered office of the Company at 10 St. Colme Street, Edinburgh EH3 6AA and from Dickson Minto W.S., Broadgate Tower, 20 Primrose Street, London EC2A 2EW.
