Dividend policy

EP Global Opportunities Trust plc (the "Company")

The Board of Directors of the Company announces an amendment to the current
published dividend policy of the Company which will allow it to pay such
interim dividends as appear to the Board to be justified by the financial
position of the Company at the relevant time. The Company's current published
dividend policy does not refer to interim dividend payments.

The dividend policy of the Company shall be amended to read:

"Dividend policy

The Investment Manager does not place emphasis on income in the choice of the
Company's investments, which are made solely to generate attractive real
long-term total returns. The Company does not have any formal policy to achieve
or maintain any specified level of dividend but intends primarily to ensure
sufficient revenues to meet expenses. All of the operating expenses of the
Company are charged to the revenue column of the income statement of the
Company. While in some market conditions dividend levels may be high enough to
provide a surplus for distribution, this will not always be the case. In
financial years where there is a surplus, the Directors are obliged to declare
dividends in order for the Company to comply with the rules relating to
investment trusts, which provide that an investment trust is not able to retain
in excess of 15 per cent. of its income from shares and securities. In such
event, the Directors may pay an interim dividend (if it appears to the
Directors to be justified by the financial position of the Company at the
relevant time) and/or pay a final dividend after the relevant annual general
meeting of the Company."
