August Dividend

European Assets Trust announces that a gross dividend of Euro 0.3135 (net rate - Euro 0.27) per share for August 2008 will be paid on 29 August 2008 to shareholders on the register on 15 August 2008, having an ex-dividend date of 13 August 2008. This will result in total gross dividends paid for the year of Euro 0.8535 (net dividends - Euro 0.81) per share. 

The increase in the August gross dividend is to offset the element of Dutch withholding tax and provide a full 6 per cent payment to shareholders.

Elections for scrip dividends must be received by the Company's administrator, Computershare Investor Services PLC, by the record date in order to apply to this payment.

With effect from 6 April 2008, the UK government extended the 10 per cent tax credit presently available on UK-sourced dividends to overseas-sourced dividends. This benefits the Company's UK taxpaying shareholders.
