C Share Conversion Timetable

The Board of Polar Capital Global Financials Trust plc (the "Company") announces that, in accordance with the terms and conditions of the Company's Articles as amended at the General Meeting on 16 June 2021, conversion of the C Shares into Ordinary Shares will take place on the following timetable:

Event	Time and / or date
Record date for the interim dividend for the Ordinary Shares	6 August 2021
Calculation Date	9 August 2021
Conversion Ratio Announced	0700 on 11 August 2021

Suspension of dealing in C Shares	0730 on 13 August 2021

The New Ordinary Shares arising on Conversion will rank pari passu with, and will have the same rights as, the Ordinary Shares of the Company already in issue, including the right to receive dividends declared subsequent to the admission of the New Ordinary Shares.
