Resignation of Non-Executive Director

1 April 2021

The Board of Murray Income Trust PLC (the "Company") announces that Richard Laing has offered, and the Board has accepted, his resignation as a non-executive Director of the Company with effect from 1 April 2021.

Standard Life Aberdeen PLC completed its acquisition of 60% of Tritax Management LLP on 1 April 2021. Richard is a non-executive Director of Tritax Big Box REIT plc and so has found himself inadvertently on the boards of two investment companies managed by two separate managers who are in the same management group.

As this causes Richard to cease to be regarded as independent under the UKLA Listing Rules, he has chosen to tender his resignation.

Neil Rogan, Chairman of the Company, commented:

"The Board is disappointed to lose Richard earlier than planned as a non-executive Director. He leaves with our thanks and best wishes. I should like to recognise Richard's key role, as Chairman of Perpetual Income and Growth Investment Trust PLC, in leading the merger with the Company in November 2020."
