Revised fee arrangements

Fidelity European Values PLC Revised Fee Arrangements As part of its preliminary announcement of the Annual Report and Accounts, the Company indicated that the independent directors were negotiating with the Manager the introduction of a revised fee structure. This negotiation is now complete. The existing management agreement provides for a quarterly management fee of 0.25% (plus applicable VAT) of the value of the Company's assets under management plus a company secretarial fee of £25,000 (plus applicable VAT) per annum. The new arrangement, which will be back dated to take effect from 1 January 2007, will replace the existing management fee structure with a performance related fee. In summary, the revised fee structure will provide for:- 1. A quarterly base fee of 0.2125% (plus applicable VAT) of net assets. There will be no additional company secretarial fee. 2. An annual performance related fee of 20% of any change in net asset value in excess of the returns on the FTSE World Europe (ex UK) (£) index plus 0.5%. Both net asset value and index will be calculated on a total return basis, while the net asset value will be based on the weighted average number of shares in issue. In the event of under performance of the NAV relative to the benchmark index in any year, no performance fee will be payable for a subsequent accounting year unless and until such (and all cumulative) under performance has been made good. The performance related fee will be subject to an upper limit of 1.5% of net assets. If performance is such that the performance related fee would exceed this cap, any excess out performance will be carried forward and offset against any future under performance deficit but will not be counted towards future performance related fees. Shareholders should note that the fees under the existing management agreement are calculated with respect to assets under management (that is, including assets funded by gearing) whereas the revised arrangements will be based on net assets. At the date of this announcement, the Company's debt to equity ratio is 12%.
