Issue of equity

Further to its announcement on 27 September 2016, CC Japan Income & Growth Trust plc (the "Company") is pleased to announce that it has successfully raised gross proceeds of £12.62 million pursuant to an issue of ordinary shares of £0.01 each (the "Ordinary Shares") in the Company (the "Issue"). The Ordinary Shares were issued under the Company's placing programme (the "Placing Programme") as described in the prospectus published by the Company on 13 November 2015 (the "Prospectus").

Applications have been received under the Issue for 10,260,162 Ordinary Shares at a price of 123 pence per Ordinary Share (the "Issue Price"), a premium to the prevailing net asset value (cum income) per Ordinary Share.

Following the issue of the Ordinary Shares, the Company's issued share capital comprises 79,160,162 Ordinary Shares and this is the total number of Ordinary Shares with voting rights in the Company. This figure (79,160,162) may be used by shareholders as the denominator for the calculations by which they will determine if they are required to notify their interest in, or a change to, their interest in the Company under the Financial Conduct Authority's Disclosure Guidance and Transparency Rules.

Applications have been made for admission of the Ordinary Shares to the premium segment of the Official List of the UK Listing Authority and to trading on London Stock Exchange plc's main market for listed securities ("Admission"). Admission is expected to occur at 8.00 a.m. on 17 October 2016.
