Further re dividend

On 26 September 2012, QIF announced a final dividend of 3.0 cents per ordinary share in respect of the year ended 30 June 2012, payable after the proposed tender offer. Subject to shareholder approval at the forthcoming Annual General Meeting on 14 November 2012, the dividend will be paid on 30 January 2013 to ordinary shareholders on the register as at 14 December 2012 (the "Record Date"). The corresponding ex-dividend date will be 12 December 2012.

The Company has decided to introduce a currency election facility, which provides shareholders the opportunity to elect to receive their dividends in either US Dollar or Sterling currency. It is not possible to request a partial election. Shareholders will continue to receive their dividends in US dollars unless an election is completed and registered with the Company's registrars, Capita Registrars. The deadline for the currency election in respect of the forthcoming dividend payment is 2 January 2013. Terms and Conditions and details regarding the currency election will be sent to shareholders shortly, and a copy of the documents will be made available on the Company's website at www.qatarinvestmentfund.com. CREST shareholders may only elect by means of the CREST Dividend Election Input Message. Elections to receive dividends in Sterling currency will continue for future dividends, unless subsequently cancelled in writing or by CREST deletion of the election. 

Alternatively, for further details please contact the Company's registrars at Capita Registrars, Corporate Actions, The Registry, 34 Beckenham Road, Beckenham, Kent BR3 4TU, United Kingdom (telephone: [phone] (overseas: [phone])).
