                        BAILLIE GIFFORD SHIN NIPPON PLC

                      Annual General Meeting, 27 April 2006



At the AGM held on 27 April 2006 all resolutions were passed, including those
detailed below:





• Shareholders approved a special resolution renewing the Company's authority to
make market purchases of up to 14.99% of the Company's issued share capital,
being 4,587,014 ordinary shares of 10p. The Company may hold shares bought back
'in treasury'. Such treasury shares may subsequently be either sold for cash or
cancelled. This authority will expire at the conclusion of the AGM to be held in
2007 or on 26 October 2007, whichever is earlier, unless previously varied,
revoked or renewed.





• Shareholders approved a special resolution extending the Company's authority
to allot authorised but unissued shares on a non-pre-emptive basis up to
£306,004, being 10% of the total issued share capital of the Company. This
authority now permits the sale of shares out of treasury. The Directors will
only use such authority to issue new shares or re- sell shares from treasury at
above net asset value and only when they believe it to be in the best interests
of the Company to do so. This authority will expire at the conclusion of the AGM
to be held in 2007 or on 26 October 2007, whichever is earlier.
