Five for one Share Split and Total Voting Rights

Following approval by shareholders of The North American Income Trust PLC (the "Company") at the Annual General Meeting on 4 June 2019, the Company will undertake a five-for-one sub-division of the Company's shares.

Each of the issued ordinary shares of 25 pence each in the capital of the Company (the "Existing Ordinary Shares") will be subdivided into five ordinary shares of 5 pence each (the "New Ordinary Shares"), the New Ordinary Shares will rank pari passu with each other, having the rights and being subject to the restrictions and obligations set out in the Articles of Association of the Company.  The subdivision will be effective on admission of the New Ordinary Shares to the Official List of the Financial Conduct Authority and to trading on the London Stock Exchange's main market for listed securities, which will occur at 8:00 a.m. on 10 June 2019.  Accordingly, the last day of trading in the Existing Ordinary Shares will be 7 June 2019.

CREST accounts will be credited with New Ordinary Shares on 10 June 2019 and share certificates in respect of the New Ordinary Shares are expected to be posted to shareholders on or around 14 June 2019.

The Company's issued ordinary share capital will remain at £7,107,626 but with effect from 10 June 2019 will comprise 142,152,520 New Ordinary Shares.

In accordance with Rule 5.6.1R of the Financial Conduct Authority's Disclosure and Transparency Rules, the total number of New Ordinary Shares is 142,152,520, with each share holding one voting right. The Company holds no ordinary shares in treasury.

The above figure (142,152,520) may be used by shareholders as the denominator for the calculations by which they will determine if they are required to notify their interest in, or a change to their interest in, the Company, under the FCA's Disclosure and Transparency Rules

The ISIN of the New Ordinary Shares is GB00BJ00Z303. The ticker for the New Ordinary Shares will be the same as the ticker for the Existing Ordinary Shares (NAIT).
