The Board of Standard Life UK Smaller Companies Trust plc (the "Company") announced on 1 September 2015 that, subject to receiving shareholder approval at the Annual General Meeting to be held on 22 October 2015, a final dividend for the year to 30 June 2015 of 4.40 pence per Ordinary Share will be payable on 29 October 2015 to shareholders on the register as at 9 October 2015 with an associated ex-dividend date of 8 October 2015.

The Board hereby issues a revision to the announcement made on 1 September 2015 as follows.

"Subject to receiving shareholder approval at the Annual General Meeting to be held on 22 October 2015, the final dividend for the year to 30 June 2015 of 4.40 pence per Ordinary Share will be payable on 29 October 2015 to shareholders on the register as at 25 September 2015 with an associated ex-dividend date of 24 September 2015."

The interest payment will be made on 30 September 2015 to CULS holders on the register on 4 September 2015. The ex-date for the interest payment is 3 September 2015.
