The European Investment Trust plc ("the Company")
Share Repurchase Authority
The Company announces that, as a result of the passing of resolution 12 at the
Company's Annual General Meeting held on 24 January 2017, it has authority to
repurchase up to a maximum of 6,296,814 of its ordinary shares. Such authority
lasts until the Company's next Annual General Meeting in 2018, unless it has
been fully exercised, or renewed or expressly revoked by shareholders before
then.
The maximum price (exclusive of expenses) which may be paid by the Company for
an ordinary share shall be no more than the higher of (a) 105% of the average
of the closing market value of such shares (as derived from the Daily Official
List of the London Stock Exchange) for the five business days prior to the date
of purchase, and (b) the amount stipulated by Article 5(6) of the Market Abuse
Regulation.
In addition, it is the Company's policy that repurchases of shares will only be
made at prices below the prevailing net asset value of the Company's shares and
where the Company's Directors consider it to be in the best interests of
shareholders and the Company to do so.
It is expected that similar announcements will be made each time the share
repurchase authority is renewed.
