TROY INCOME & GROWTH TRUST PLC

(the "Company")

Possible Scheme of Reconstruction and Discount Control Mechanism

Recent buyback activity means that the Company is now very close to (i) fully utilising its existing authority to repurchase Shares; and (ii) depleting its distributable reserves (which are required to effect buybacks under the discount control mechanism ("DCM")). In addition, the Board is currently exploring possible options for a combination with another investment trust which would be effected by a scheme of reconstruction.

Therefore, in the light of the above matters the Company is suspending the DCM and the buyback of its shares with effect from close of business today.

Further details of the proposed scheme of reconstruction will be announced by the end of November.  There is no guarantee that the terms of any scheme will be agreed or become effective.  In the event that the Board decides not to proceed with a scheme of reconstruction, it will provide a further update on when the DCM will recommence.
