The Board of Aurora Investment Trust plc (the "Company") is pleased to announce that the ordinary resolution (the "Resolution") relating to the issue of New Shares in connection with the proposed combination of the assets of the Company with the assets of Artemis Alpha Trust plc ("Artemis Alpha") was approved by Shareholders at the General Meeting of the Company held today.

The implementation of the proposals remains conditional, amongst other things, upon the passing of the resolution to be proposed at the Second Artemis Alpha General Meeting to be held on Friday, 29 November 2024.

Details of the number of votes cast for, against and withheld in respect of the Resolution, which was voted on by way of a poll, are set out below and will also be published on the Company's website:  https://www.aurorainvestmenttrust.com.

For the purposes of section 341 of the Companies Act 2006, the total votes validly cast are expressed in the table above as a percentage of the Company's total voting rights as at 6.00 p.m. on 20 November 2024 (76,292,724), being the time at which a Shareholder had to be registered in the Company's register of members in order to vote at the General Meeting. A vote "withheld" is not a vote in law and has not been counted as a vote "for" or "against" the Resolution.

The number of Shares in issue at the date of this announcement is 76,292,724. The Company holds no Shares in treasury. On a poll the voting rights are one vote for every one Share held. Therefore, as at the date of this announcement, the number of voting rights is 76,292,724.
