JPMorgan Mid Cap Investment Trust plc (the "Company") announces that with effect from 1st July 2014 the Company will enter into the arrangements necessary to ensure compliance with the AIFMD.

 

Following a review of the Company's arrangements, the Company's board of Directors (the "Board") has approved the appointment of JPMorgan Funds Limited ("JPMF") as the Company's Alternative Investment Fund Manager ("AIFM") on the terms of and subject to the conditions of a new investment management agreement between the Company and JPMF.

The management fee and notice period remain unchanged.

 

The Board will also appoint BNY Mellon Trust & Depositary (UK) Limited (the "Depositary"), of BNY Mellon Centre, 160 Queen Victoria Street, London EC4V 4LA, to act as the Company's Depositary (as required by the AIFMD) on the terms and subject to the conditions of a Depositary agreement entered into between the Company, the AIFM and the Depositary.

 

The Company's Custodian, JPMorgan Chase Bank, NA will remain as Custodian as a delegate of the Depositary.
