Fidelity China Special Situations PLC
Results of the General Meeting in relation to the C Share issue
At a General Meeting of the Company held on 11 February 2011 all resolutions
were duly passed, by over 97% of the shares voted.
The Chairman, Mr John Owen commented following the meeting:
"I'm delighted that shareholders have overwhelmingly voted in favour of the C
Share issue which is expected to commence trading on 28 February 2011"
Before the vote, The Chairman explained the following to Shareholders:
"The Boards believe that China represents a compelling long term investment
opportunity"
"The issue of new C shares is subject to your approval at this meeting. If
approved, there is no other conditionality relating to the issue and it will
proceed subject only to an event which has a major negative impact on the
Company's prospects"
"Today's published NAV is 102.96p and the Share price published this morning
was 107.50p being a premium of 4.41%"
"I would like to explain how a C Share converts into an Ordinary Share. If the
NAV stays at the same level, then you as a shareholder will have 97.5p per C
Share to purchase ordinary shares at NAV. Hence for every 100 C Shares you buy
(at today's NAV) you would receive 95 Ordinary Shares, regardless of any
premium or discount in the share price at the date of conversion"
Following shareholder approval, the C Share issue timetable is as follows:
11.00am on 15 February latest date for receipt of applications under open
2011 offer and offer for subscription
4.30pm on 16 February Placing closes
