Polar Capital Global Financials Trust plc ("the Company")
Compliance with Market Abuse Regulation
1 December 2016
The Company confirms that:
a) all inside information which the Directors and Company may have had has been notified to a Regulated Information Service ("RIS");
b) the Company's net asset value per share is calculated and announced through a RIS on a daily basis;
c) the Company has no reason to believe that there will be any material difference between the net asset value per share as at close of business on 30 November 2016, which was announced on 1 December 2016, and the financial information to be published in the announcement of its results for the year ended 30 November 2016.
The Company is, therefore, not prohibited from dealing in its own securities during the closed period, as defined by the Market Abuse Regulation, which will end on the date of the publication of its results for the year ended 30 November 2016, expected to be on 2 February 2017.
The Company may operate a policy of making market purchases of its ordinary shares during this period in accordance with existing shareholder authorities. If, in this period, the Directors or the Company come into possession of any inside information, it will be notified to a RIS before any transactions are undertaken.
