Notice of General Meeting

February 22^nd, 2021

Further to the announcement released on 9^th February 2021, Martin Currie Global Portfolio Trust PLC (the "Company") has today issued a circular (the "Circular") convening a General Meeting to be held at 11:00 am on 10^th March 2021 at Saltire Court, 20 Castle Terrace, Edinburgh, EH1 2ES. At the General Meeting, shareholders will be requested to renew and increase the current permission to issue ordinary shares in the Company on a non pre-emptive basis.

The Circular will shortly be available on the Company's website at www.martincurrie.com/uk/gptmeeting and on the National Storage Mechanism at https://data.fca.org.uk/#/nsm/nationalstoragemechanism.

Given the current Covid-19 situation and the government's 'stay at home' measures, the General Meeting will follow the minimum legal requirements. Arrangements will be made for the minimum number of two shareholders to attend so that the quorum can be met and the business of the meeting concluded. In accordance with the Corporate Insolvency and Governance Act 2020 and Government guidance, including the rules on physical distancing and limitations on public gatherings, physical attendance at the General Meeting will not be possible. Shareholders are therefore encouraged to vote by proxy and, if they have any questions to put to the Board, to include them in the space provided on the form of proxy. The answers to any questions and the result of the voting will published on the Company's website once the General Meeting is concluded. It is possible that the current Covid-19 situation and the government's 'stay at home' measures may change. If this happens and these arrangements for the General Meeting need to be modified, shareholders will be notified accordingly.
