Statement re. Women on Boards

Fidelity China Special Situations PLC

Women on Boards

The Board of Fidelity China Special Situations PLC supports the recommendations
of Lord Davies of Abersoch in his report "Women on Boards" published in
February 2011.

The Board has specifically considered the issues detailed therein and declares
its policy as follows:

The Board aims to have a balance of skills, experience, length of service and
knowledge of the Company. The Board carries out its candidate search from the
widest possible pool of talent against a set of objective criteria on the basis
of merit, with due regard for the benefits of diversity on the Board, including
gender.

The Board's aim is to achieve a ratio of two-thirds men and one-third women for
new Director appointments by 2013, with at least one quarter of Directors on
the Board being women by 2015. The Company has no employees and has no further
disclosures to make in this regard.

The Company's Nomination and Remuneration Committee terms of reference include
the consideration of the percentage of women Directors at regular intervals and
progress will be reported in the Company's annual Corporate Governance
Statement following consideration during the annual Board evaluation process.
