August Dividend

European Assets Trust announces that a gross dividend of Euro 0.3349 (net rate - Euro 0.304) per share will be paid on 31 August 2016 to shareholders on the register on 12 August 2016, having an ex-dividend date of 11 August 2016.  This will result in total gross dividends paid for the year of Euro 0.9429 (net dividends - Euro 0.912) per share.

The August gross dividend is increased to offset the element of Dutch withholding tax applicable and provide an annual payment to shareholders representing a full 6 per cent of closing net asset value per share of the Company at the end of the preceding year.

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