Dividend Declaration

At a board meeting today of Jupiter European Opportunities Trust PLC (the
"Company") the directors resolved to declare an interim dividend for the year
ending 31 May 2010 of 2.1p (net) per Ordinary share payable on 11 October 2010.
The dividend will be paid to shareholders who appear on the register of
shareholders on 10 September 2010.

This  interim dividend is being paid in order to ensure the Company's continuing
status  with HM Revenue and Customs as an investment trust.  Section 1158 of the
Corporation  Tax Act 2010 prohibits the Company  from retaining more than 15 per
cent. of its eligible investment income from one financial year to the next.

The Directors' stated dividend policy is to manage the Company's affairs in
order to achieve shareholder returns through capital growth rather than through
the generation of income. It is therefore not expected that the Company will pay
a regular dividend in future financial years.
