Discount Control Mechanism

Invesco Asia Trust plc                             

HEADING: Discount Control Mechanism

In the Company's 2010 Annual Report the Board stated that it had decided, in
the interests of shareholders, to propose a tender offer at the end of the
Company's 2010-11 financial year (subject to receiving necessary shareholder
approval) for up to 15% of the Company's issued share capital, at a 2% discount
to NAV less the costs of the tender, if the Company's shares have traded over
the year to 30 April 2011 at an average discount of more than 10% to NAV (fully
diluted, ex income).

The Board is delighted to announce that, in light of the Company's performance
over the last 12 months, it is unlikely that a tender offer will need to be
proposed. However, the Board has concluded that it would be in shareholders'
interests to extend the discount control arrangements to the financial year
ending 30 April 2012 and a proposal to this effect will be put forward at the
Company's AGM in August.
