CIRCULAR CONVENING A GENERAL MEETING

The current investment objective of The Scottish Oriental Smaller Companies Trust plc (the "Company") is to achieve long term capital growth by investing in mainly smaller Asian quoted companies. There is no intention to change this investment objective.  However, in order to facilitate its achievement, the board of directors of the Company is seeking permission to widen the definition of what constitutes a smaller company for the purposes of the Company's investment policy and to give the Company's investment manager flexibility to invest in companies with greater market capitalisations. 

Accordingly, the Company has today issued a circular convening a general meeting to be held at 9.00 a.m. on 20 September 2013 at 10 St. Colme Street, Edinburgh EH3 6AA at which shareholders will be asked to consider and, if thought fit, approve the proposed changes to the Company's investment policy.

Copies of the circular have been submitted to the FCA, and will be available for inspection at the National Storage Mechanism which is located at http://www.morningstar.co.uk/uk/NSM.

Copies of the circular will also be available for collection during normal business hours on any day (Saturdays, Sundays and public holidays excepted) from the registered office of the Company at 10 St. Colme Street, Edinburgh EH3 6AA and from Dickson Minto W.S., Broadgate Tower, 20 Primrose Street, London EC2A 2EW.
