Posting of circular convening a general meeting

In order to meet the continuing demand for shares in Baillie Gifford Shin Nippon PLC (the "Company"), the Board of Directors of the Company (the "Board") is seeking shareholder approval to renew the disapplication of statutory pre-emption rights on the issue of shares in the capital of the Company.

Accordingly, the Company has today issued a circular convening a general meeting (the "General Meeting") to be held at 9.00 a.m. on 7 December 2018 at the offices of Baillie Gifford & Co, Calton Square, 1 Greenside Row, Edinburgh EH1 3AN.

At the General Meeting, a resolution will be put to shareholders to disapply statutory pre-emption rights in relation to the allotment of shares up to an aggregate nominal value of £541,504.96 (amounting to an authority to allot up to 27,075,248 shares) representing approximately 10 per cent. of the Company's issued share capital as at 12 November 2018 (the "Resolution").  The authority conferred by the Resolution will lapse at the conclusion of the next annual general meeting of the Company.

The Board believes that the authority sought at the General Meeting will allow them to continue to satisfy the strong demand for shares in the period from the General Meeting to the Company's next annual general meeting.

A copy of the circular is available for inspection on the Company's website at www.shinnippon.co.uk.

A copy of the circular will also be submitted to the National Storage Mechanism and will be available for inspection at www.morningstar.co.uk/uk/NSM.
