LONDON STOCK EXCHANGE ANNOUNCEMENT
JPMORGAN AMERICAN INVESTMENT TRUST PLC
PUBLICATION OF PROSPECTUS
JPMorgan American Investment Trust plc (the "Company") has today published a prospectus approved by the UK Listing Authority in relation to future successive issues of up to 25 million shares (the "New Shares") which would equate to 125 million New Shares if the sub-division of the existing issued share capital of the Company is approved at the annual general meeting to be held on 7 May 2014.
The New Shares will be issued only (i) at a premium to net asset value per share calculated cum income with debt at fair value; (ii) to meet demand from investors; and (iii) when the Directors believe that it is in the best interests of the Company to do so. Under no circumstances will any issue of New Shares be at an issue price which would result in a dilution of the net asset value per share.
A copy of the prospectus will shortly be available for inspection at the National Storage Mechanism which is located at http://www.morningstar.co.uk/uk/nsm.do.
Copies of the prospectus are also available in electronic form on the Company's website at www.jpmamerican.co.uk and are available for collection during normal business hours on any working day (Saturday, Sunday and public holidays excepted) until 10 April 2015 from the registered office of the Company at 60 Victoria Embankment, London EC4Y 0JP.
