Stock Exchange Announcement LIONTRUST ASSET MANAGEMENT PLC Notice of General Meeting

Liontrust Asset Management Plc (the "Company") announces that a circular to shareholders in connection with a proposed capital reduction, together with notice of a general meeting to be held on 22 February 2017 for the purpose of approving the proposal, has been posted to shareholders.

The proposed capital reduction will cancel the Company's share premium account. This will create distributable reserves which will be available for the directors of the Company to use for the purposes of paying dividends and/or buying back ordinary shares (should circumstances in the future make it desirable to do so).

A copy of the notice of general meeting and form of proxy has been submitted to the National Storage Mechanism and will shortly be available for inspection at http://www.morningstar.co.uk/uk/NSM.

The notice of general meeting and form of proxy can also be viewed on the Company's website, www.liontrust.co.uk, from midday today.
