INVESCO Perpetual UK Smaller Companies Investment Trust plc
HEADLINE: Extraordinary General Meeting in respect of proposed sub-division of
share Capital
An application has been made for 67,026,725 new ordinary shares of 20p each to
be admitted to the Official List of the UK Listing Authority and to be admitted
to trading on the London Stock Exchange.
An Extraordinary General Meeting ("EGM") will be held at 11.00 am on Wednesday
6 December 2006 to ask shareholders to approve the sub-division of the
Company's ordinary shares of £1 each into five new ordinary shares of 20p each.
The Notice of the EGM and the Circular to shareholders dated 27 September 2006
have been lodged at the Document Viewing Facility of the FSA and are also
available for inspection at the Registered Office of the Company at 30 Finsbury
Square, London EC2A 1AG.
Subject to the sub-division being approved at the EGM:
* it is expected that dealings in existing ordinary shares will cease at the
close of business on 6 December 2006 and that admission will take place and
dealings will commence in the new ordinary shares on 7 December 2006;
* where existing ordinary shares are held in certificated form, share
certificates in respect of existing ordinary shares will no longer be valid
from 6 December 2006. Certificates in respect of new ordinary shares will
be posted, at the risk of shareholders, by 14 December 2006. Transfers
between 7 December 2006 and the date of despatch of such share certificates
will be certified against the register if required;
* shareholders who hold their existing ordinary shares in uncertificated
form, through CREST, will have their CREST accounts credited with the
relevant entitlements to new ordinary shares on 7 December 2006; and
* settlement effected from 7 December 2006 of bargains made before that date
will be in new ordinary shares.
On the basis that there are currently 13,405,345 ordinary shares of £1 each in
issue, there will be 67,026,725 new ordinary shares in issue immediately
following the completion of the sub-division. The new ordinary shares will have
those rights and restrictions attaching to them as are currently set out in the
Articles of Association of the Company in respect of the existing ordinary
shares.
