Revised Arrangements for the Annual General Meeting (AGM)

THIS ANNOUNCEMENT IS IMPORTANT AND REQUIRES YOUR IMMEDIATE ATTENTION

· Attendance at the AGM is no longer possible

· Shareholders should vote in advance by proxy

· Shareholders should consult the website for further information

On 6 February 2020, Mobius Investment Trust plc posted the notice of its Annual General Meeting (AGM) to be held at 12.00 noon on Thursday, 23  April 2020 at 25 Southampton Buildings, London WC2A 1AL. At the time we were hoping that as many shareholders as possible would be able to attend. This is no longer possible.

Attending the AGM is no longer lawful

On 23 March 2020, the UK Government announced further mandatory measures in relation to social distancing to reduce the transmission of the Coronavirus COVID-19. This includes requiring people to stay at home, except for very limited purposes; and stopping all gatherings of more than two people in public. We fully support these measures to protect public health and safety.

As a result, it is now not lawful for us to hold our AGM in the normal way.

Revised arrangements

We are required by law to hold an AGM and are still working on the basis that Mobius Investment Trust's AGM will be held on 23 April 2020, albeit no longer at the previously announced venue. The AGM will be convened with the minimum quorum of shareholders present in order to conduct the business of the meeting safely. The results of the poll votes on the proposed resolutions will be announced in the normal way as soon as practicable after the conclusion of the AGM.

Voting by proxy and not in person

As physical attendance at the AGM will not be lawful, shareholders should submit their votes by returning their proxy forms which accompanied the annual report and the 2020 AGM notice (or appoint a proxy electronically if their shares are held in CREST). Please appoint the Chairman of the meeting as your proxy for this purpose, as the attendance of other proxies at the AGM will not be allowed.

Please return your proxy forms as soon as possible and in any event prior to 12.00 noon on 21 April 2020 or not less than 48 hours before the time of the meeting.  Please bear in mind that postal services might be slower than normal.

The Notice of AGM can be found at the back of the annual report and also on the Company's website: www.mobiusinvestmenttrust.com .

If you do not have a proxy form and believe that you should have one, or if you require additional forms or have any additional queries on voting, please contact our Registrars using the details below:

Computershare Investor Services PLC, The Pavilions, Bridgwater Road, Bristol, BS99 6ZY.  Tel: [phone] (in the UK) or [phone] (from overseas).

Voting results will be confirmed at the meeting and then publicly announced on the London Stock Exchange and on the Company's website.

Connecting with shareholders

Furthermore, any questions to the Board or the Investment Managers, Mobius Capital Partners LLP, should be submitted before the AGM so we can ensure that your questions are answered either before or after the meeting on the Company's website www.mobiusinvestmenttrust.com  

You can submit questions up until 5.00pm on 22 April 2020 in the following ways:

1.  By email: send your questions to [e-mail]  

2.  By phone: call us on [phone]

Updates from the Investment Managers are also available from the Company's website on www.mobiusinvestmenttrust.com  

The above arrangements might evolve further over the next weeks and we will keep shareholders updated of changes on our website www.mobiusinvestmenttrust.com

The Board would like to thank all shareholders for their continued support and understanding. These are unusual measures and we hope that our shareholders and other stakeholders understand that everyone's health and safety must be our first priority in these exceptional circumstances.
