Allotment of ordinary shares

Invesco Asia Trust plc                             

                         Allotment of ordinary shares                          

Further to the announcement made earlier today, Invesco Asia Trust plc (the
"Company") announces that it has been informed by the trustee, appointed by the
Company in accordance with the Articles of Association, that it has exercised
all the outstanding subscription shares. A total of 17,648,153 ordinary shares
have therefore been issued and allotted, subject to listing, following the
final exercise date. The ordinary shares rank pari passu with the existing
ordinary shares in issue.

Following the exercise of rights by the trustee, 2,678,325 ordinary shares have
today been sold at a price of 135p per ordinary share and purchased for
treasury by the Company. In accordance with the Articles of Association,
holders on whose behalf the trustee has exercised rights and sold the resulting
ordinary shares, will receive the net proceeds of such sale over the
subscription price, less associated costs and expenses, no later than 18
September 2012 (except for aggregate entitlements of less than £5.00, which
will be retained by the Company).

Applications will be made to the UK Listing Authority (the "UKLA") and the
London Stock Exchange (the "LSE") for the ordinary shares arising from the
exercise of all subscription rights to be admitted to the premium segment of
the Official List and to trading on the main market of the LSE. It is expected
that admission and commencement of dealings in the ordinary shares will take
place on 10 September 2012.

Application has been made to the UKLA and the LSE for the subscription shares
to be cancelled from the Official List and trading on the LSE with effect from
8.00 a.m. on 3 October 2012.

Following the allotment of the ordinary shares referred to above, with effect
from admission, the Company's issued share capital will consist of 110,813,910
ordinary shares of which 3,277,224 ordinary shares will be held in treasury.
Accordingly, there will be 107,536,686 ordinary shares with voting rights and
this figure may be used by shareholders as the denominator for the calculations
by which they should determine whether they are required to notify their
interest in, or a change to their interest in, the Company under the FSA's
Disclosure and Transparency Rules.
