SECOND Interim Dividend

For The Year Ending 31 August 2013

Schroder Oriental Income Fund Limited (the "Company") announces that the Directors of the Company have declared the payment of a second interim dividend of 1.50p pence per share for the year ending 31 August 2013 on the Ordinary Shares of the Company.

In the prospectus dated 10 May 2013 the Company disclosed the Board's intention that commencing in respect of the three month period to 31 May 2013 dividends will be paid on a quarterly basis.

Accordingly the Directors of the Company have declared the payment of a second interim dividend of 1.50 pence per share for the year ending 31 August 2013 on the Ordinary Shares of the Company.

It should be noted that the total dividends for the year ending 31 August 2013 are not anticipated to be less than total dividends payable in respect of the previous financial year.

For the avoidance of doubt, the record date for this second interim dividend in respect of the three months to 31 May 2013 will fall prior to the conversion of any C Shares issued by the Company and therefore any C Shareholder will not be entitled, following conversion, to this dividend. It is expected that the first dividend to which potential holders of C Shares will be entitled, following conversion, will be the final quarterly dividend in respect of the three months to 31 August 2013.

Ex-Dividend Date:	12 June 2013
Record Date:	14 June 2013
Payment Date:	28 June 2013
Dividend per Share:	1.50p
