Share Allotment Authorities - 25 May 2018

The Board of Martin Currie Global Portfolio Trust plc (the "Company") refers to the notice of Annual General Meeting in respect of the annual general meeting to be held on 12 June 2018 (the "AGM") which was sent to shareholders on 5 April 2018.

Resolution 9 relates to the proposed disapplication of pre-emption rights. This resolution contains an error as to the aggregate nominal value of the shares in respect of which authority is granted.  For the avoidance of doubt, the Board confirms that it is the intention, in line with the Pre-Emption Group's Statement of Principles and the authority sought by the Company in previous years, that the exercise of such authority be limited to an amount equal to 5 per cent. of the total issued ordinary share capital of the Company.  As such, the aggregate nominal amount in Resolution 9 should have been stated as £227,722 (being an amount equal to approximately 5 per cent. of the Company's issued share capital as at 3 April 2018).

The Annual General Meeting of Martin Currie Global Portfolio Trust plc will be held at the offices of Martin Currie Investment Management Limited, Saltire Court, 20 Castle Terrace, Edinburgh, EH1 2ES, on Tuesday, 12 June 2018 at 12.30pm.
